Vietnam - Food lovers dream

Vietnamese food does not disappoint; It’s always delicious and beautiful. Pat described the eating experience as Disneyland for foodies. One of my favorite experiences in Hanoi was a cooking class in which we were the only 2 students. It involved a trip to the market to buy materials, hands on cooking, and eating it all afterwards. 
Since we are both big coffee drinkers we were delighted to discover that the coffee, especially in the north, is fantastic. It’s strong and smooth and Vietnamese coffee is often served with sweetened condensed milk, which especially good iced. We sampled Egg Coffee, a local specialty, which is made with whipped egg yolks, condensed milk, and rice wine. It’s very rich and almost like eating mousse, but with strong coffee on the bottom.
During our tour we also had a chance to see how rice wine, noodles, coconut candy, and smoked sticky rice are make by visiting some local homes who have those cottage industries.
