Limited time in China? If you would like to see just how expansive the country is and want a taste from its many regional cuisines, a good place to go is Shanghai's "老城隍廟小吃街," or "Old Town God Temple Snack Street." It is dubbed Shanghai Snack Kingdom. Snacks from all over China are packed into one overwhelmingly busy, but organized food court. You'll probably need a week to sample a bit of everything.

When people think of Vietnamese food in Hanoi, they might instantly think of snake or pho noodles. None of those dishes are covered today, but I've eaten them in the past. Today I eat delicious bun cha noodles, bun thang noodles, and finish off with some friend prawn cakes at Ho Tay aka West Lake. Hanoi foods sometimes gets a bad reputation. I still prefer the food in the central and southern regions, but Hanoi does have decent food as seen here.
First, bun cha is a simple rice noodle based with grilled pork sausages and grilled fatty pork. You can also eat it with some egg rolls too. And of course the key is sweet fish sauce!
The restaurant I ate in was BUN CHA DAC KIM
located at 1 Hang Manh. They open all day and into the late evenings. A tad bit of on the expensive side though, but worth it.
Second, bun thang is the forgotten noodle dish. It's a chicken broth centered rice noodle based with chicken, pork sausages, and eggs. This place also put in some mushrooms and a second kind of pork ball sausage too called moc. There's also a healthy portion of shrimp paste in there too. Yum.
This restaurant is located at 30 Cau Go - just down the street
from the famous Ba Duc place, which only opens in the evenings.
Lastly, I tried the famous Banh Tom Ho Tay. This was just simply fried prawn in a flour batch. It really had no taste so you have to dip it into the fish sauce, which gives it an awesome bold flavor.
This place is located on 1 Thanh Nien next to Ho Tay. Any taxi driver will know it. It's that famous. Try not to sit next to the sewer or bathroom and you'll enjoy it more. And avoid weekend evenings because they can be really packed and busy.
