As you walk around the town you can find snacks to munch on as you walk or sit down and eat. Over a couple of days we tasted some of the treats (some not a treat) that are available.
First up some fried cheese; not much is expected in a mostly non-cheese eating country.

| Greasy and nearly flavourless |
Now get some stronger cheese and a bit more spice; this would be a good snack. We could do it but I would use a better cheese and dip.
Next ice cream, a maybe secret location (not many tourists) that is filled with Vietnamese people enjoying a treat that has been in Hanoi since 1958 Google site: Kem Their website: Kem Trang Tien.
Loved the ice cream, the rice ice cream bar was great, texture and favour was unique. I did not take photos of the ice cream as it just looked like ice cream.
