Hanoi, Vietnam Part 1

1st Day in Hanoi

Hanoi, what can I say about Hanoi.. When me and May were driven to our hotel, Phudo Hotel, all we could see were many many many paddy fields. And it is kinda cold there, but not cold enough to wear a winter wear.

Our room was really really nice. Just one complain, the beds are really really tough! And the shampoo quality sucks! But other than that, everything was good. The customer service was excellent, the AC was excellent. And they also provide fresh fruits everyday, so May die die also must eat all the fruits! HAHA! When we walk into the room, my eyes immediately went to the other door of the room. So when I open it, it was..

hmm, nothing. And when I turn around... May has conquered the king size bed.. :(
Okay, so off to find stuff to eat. I mean, we're in Vietnam right, so I wanna eat Vietnamese food! But according to May, the things we should eat here are French and Italian cause it's.. known here?? What the.. So okay, fine. We went to this French restaurant called "The Green Tangerine"

The ambiance here is truly amazing. Candlelight dinner, (of course it's not suppose to be romantic for me and.. my sister), trees everywhere, and we were seated outside because inside is a smoking area.. Erm.. isn't it the other way round???

People whom are dining here are mostly foreigners and couples.

Our Appetizer

3 Kings Pleasure (All salmon)

Red Garrupa tartar with tropical fruits and zucchini spaghetti / rau thien vua (not a big fan)

Boneless chicken leg stuffed with vege boiled in vietnamese tea

P.S; By the way, if you haven't notice yet, me and May love to take pictures of what we eat, and I like to post up what we took :D

After dinner, May was raving about how cheap the food was and how delicious her food was (mine was not), but all I could think is, I'm never going to a French Restaurant no more.. Okay, maybe I shouldn't pass judgment on a first time basis thing, but I don't want to risk a 2nd time, eating my tropical fruit dish..

So after dinner, we went back to the Hotel. I wasn't very sure where I was going. All I know is on the way back, there are many stands selling dried squids. By the way, I notice that Vietnamese people love to eat on small little stools (or either that, no choice..)
