While many have noted a marked increase in the price of food in the capital, there are still several stalls that are locally famous for selling quality Hanoian breakfast for reasonable prices.
Lining up for sticky rice
The sticky rice stall on Hang Hom Street attracts many regular customers, charging only VND5,000. Having been in business for years, the store offers several options. Customers begin to arrive around 6am and sometimes jostle to make their orders. The store regularly sells out around 8am. Here, the price for a breakfast that can feed a whole family is equivalent to that of a bowl of noodles.
Cheap and delicious crab noodles
Another store selling crab noodles in the small alley of Phat Loc is also locally famous for cheap prices and delicious food.
These store-owners sell their delicacies for VND7,000, about a quarter of the price one would find elsewhere. The options of adding beef, tofu or pork is also an incentive for customers.
Beer stalls on Ta Hien Street
In addition to cheap breakfast, Hanoi’s Old Quarter is also home to a number of special places for drinking. Ta Hien Street is a place for lovers of bia hoi, who seem to love the view as much as the chilled glasses of beer, which cost only VND5,000.
