After checking into our hotel, we speedily made our way out to look for the famous Bun Bo Nam Bo whose beef vermicelli was said to be one of the best in Hanoi. If you’re staying in a hotel in the Old Quarter (recommended!), it’s very easy to get around on foot as most of […]

But what I really like is their takeaway counter, Teppei Syokudo, which is conveniently located at places including Takashimaya […]

Plus I would say this is a healthier recipe too because the skin and fats from the chicken have been trimmed and removed.
