We had a great tour around the Old Quarter with Kai. We met at Lily's Travel office and had a short taxi ride to the Old Quarter. We started with Bún bò huế, followed by Bún chả and then some Phở (dry), and then on to a small Bia Hoi for some local brews with Nem rán (fried spring roll) and Bánh mỳ. Then on to another local restaurant for some Nem nướng (fresh self made spring roll) and finished up with Kem (coconut ice cream, mango and sticky rice). We ate way too much food and you have to pace yourself if you want to make it through all the courses. Kai kept us entertained with some stories and history. It's a great way to experience a range of local foods and to get an appreciation of the Old Quarter. We finished up on Beer (Bia) Street. it's a great night.
