Hanoi - The SQ flight to Hanoi was smooth, all the aisle seats were fully booked so has to choose a window seat which was good as the middle seat was empty. The immigration queues were long and orderly, within a short while we cleared customs and booked our grab taxi bound for our hotel.
After we settle down into our rooms, we went to a Bun Cha restaurant just down the road. Unexpectedly went to the same restaurant 2 years ago -
Bun Cha Dac Kim. I only realise this when I saw a familiar lady boss sitting below the staircase collecting money.
The portions were big and we had a hearty lunch - I ate most of the meat as Edmund ate mostly vegetables.
After our business meeting, took a leisurely stroll towards our restaurant. Full moon is out as it is the mid-autumn festival here also in Vietnam, the follow most of Chinese cultural traditions. Many people are out celebrating with lanterns in their hands.

I wanted to eat fresh spring roll but ended up at a Banh Cuon restaurant which is very similar to Chee Cheong Fan.

The side dishes were Pork Bologna and Green sticky rice patties.

We had a nice Hanoi desert - got a small stool and had our soya bean.

The 2nd stall desert was delicious with young coconut flesh and old coconut slices in soya bean drink.
