Three families, one table, and a world of flavors – that’s what the Taste of Hanoi tour is all about! 🌍

🥢 On today’s unforgettable journey, we welcomed a Swedish family, a Finnish family, and a couple from the Czech Republic, all coming together to experience the true essence of Hanoi through its iconic street food: Steamed rolled rice pancakes, pyramid rice dumplings, fried pillow dumplings, and so much more! These local delicacies became even more delicious when shared with new friends, making every bite l00 times tastier. 🍽️✨

Welcome to our crew today! 🎉 On the right, we have Lenka’s husband in a bright green shirt. Next, we have the Isa family, all smiles and ready to dive into Hanoi’s local flavors. Over on the far right, we have the Satu family, adding even more energy to our group. 🥢 Of course, don’t miss the guy giving a big 'hi' – that’s Milton!

And the dish they’re trying is the pyramid rice dumplings. Milton is guiding our fam how to enjoy it with soy sauce, unlocking an explosion of flavors!

Satu’s son absolutely loves Vietnamese food! He finishes everything on the plate – so adorable! 😋

Here’s little Isa’s daughter rocking conical hats 😄 Looks like she’s ready to take on the world with her unique Hanoi hat collection! 🌿🎩

Let’s cheer and dive into those golden, crispy fried pillow dumplings! 🥂✨

This dish isn’t complete until you add a little kick with some chili sauce – that’s the real deal! 🌶️🔥

And now, we move on to the steamed rolled rice pancakes – a dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! 😋 Whether you're starting your day or winding down, it’s always a great choice!

Lenka and her husband are absolutely enjoying this dish! And with another cold beer, well, that’s just perfection! 🍻

And just like how this dish wins over every Vietnamese heart, the Isa family is totally in love with it too! 💖

Our big family is gathered around, enjoying such a refreshing side dish that compliments almost any meal – Vietnamese salad! 🥗

Everyone loved it – they finished the plate clean, no leftovers at all! 😋🍽️ That’s how you know it’s a winner!

Sizzle, sizzle, what’s this tasty dish?

Crispy, fragrant, it's a flavor wish!

Banana fritters! 🍌🍯 Just look at these three little ones – their faces light up with excitement!. The sweet, warm banana inside combined with the crispy coating makes it an irresistible treat for not only kids but also adults! 😄

Now that we’re all fueled up, it’s time to kick back with some delicious drinks and chat about all the fun stories! And just look at this egg coffee – it’s as tempting as it gets, right? 😍☕

Rich, creamy, and full of warmth – Satu has truly been won over by this drink!

The two little ones from the Isa family are loving the tropical fruit tea! 🍹 Sweet, tangy, and super refreshing. They can’t get enough of it, and neither could we!
