Pho, lookes like Thai noodle, but Pho noodle is thicker and softer. The dish was fastly finished, very delicious. We had it with red chilli sauce.

I had opportunity to have Pho, the typical dish in Vietnam. I knew now why Vietnamese people, especially women have good shape. Their foods always have vegetable as main ingredients. Pho is something like noodle in Thailand but the thing is it is very delicious when you eat it in such environment, in the time we traveled. It is a feeling of getting close to local way of people there.

It was quite amazing that Pho is everywhere, at almost every corners at the Hano's Old Quarter. I had learned some local words to survive during my trip, especially for Pho menu. Let's see

Pho Bo means pho with beef

Pho Ga means pho with chicken

Ummm another frigthening thing for me is Cho--- dog meat. If you see a signpost above a shop saying "cho", remember, it sells dogmeat, or has to do something with dog, for sure.

Another dish of Hanoi, served in the cruise to Halong Bay, Hanoi. The dish is a kind of fish sausage, cut into pieces and deep fried. We had it with cucumber.

Umm I couldn't remember quite well for other words. I had noted them in my diary and if I have some free time, I will share with you!
