I am served up the best grub in all of Hanoi here at the STA house. This morning I tagged along with Quanh Anh the chef as she went to the early morning grocery market, and then she taught me to make delicious spring rolls. Its amazing to see that even in a city such as Hanoi, which is expanding developing and modernising with sky-scrapers to rival Hong Kong and Singapore, that there are still authentic meat, fish, vegetable and fruit markets, with no tidy packaging or plastic bags. This is food, as it was and is.
Back at the guesthouse we chopped the vegetables, cooked the tofu and rolled our creations in rice paper before frying them in oil.
and the best part of the morning.....the taste test!
