Today we're going on a FREE FOOD TOUR in Hanoi, Vietnam! 🇻🇳 From Michelin Guide Vietnamese pancakes to local duck dishes and delicious Vietnamese desserts, we're exploring Hanoi's incredible food scene with two local student guides from Hanoi Kids!

Hanoi Kids is a student-run organization offering free tours led by local Vietnamese students. It's an amazing way to discover authentic local restaurants, learn about Vietnamese culture and experience Hanoi through the eyes of locals.

Our first stop is a Michelin Guide restaurant, where we try crispy Vietnamese pancakes filled with beef and fresh herbs, along with grilled pork skewers wrapped in rice paper and dipped in a delicious peanut sauce. These might be some of our FAVOURITE Vietnamese pancakes yet!

Next, our guides take us to a local duck restaurant that we probably would have walked right past. 🦆 We try fried duck with garlic, black pepper duck, spicy fermented bamboo and a traditional noodle soup with one ingredient we weren't expecting...
