and it is the most famous Bahn Mi spot in Hanoi We'll be fine if i put my arm
out like that i would have touched it that is insane my phone is under the train right now
good morning from Hanoi Vietnam we are up at about 6 00 a.m this morning to come for
a walk around the lake it seems the culture has continued of getting up really early and doing
exercise by water it kind of looks like on the weekends here it turns into a
more official thing though because there's like cones out and people
look like they're running in a marathon so there's definitely more to the story
so the lake was way more fun than we thought it was going to be first of
all the lake's just beautiful there's this awesome pagoda in the middle so that's just
beautiful by itself but we're definitely here during like a fun run or something so
we got to see the runners all start it was intense but now we've come to this
awesome place we came here the day we got into Hanoi and it's called the note cafe
everyone gets a little post-it note and you can put it on the wall and the place is absolutely
covered the air conditioning the lights the fans it's all covered in post-it notes
so we're gonna write one and put it somewhere and if you see it send us a photo of it
i may divide a few viewers here but if you like mint flavored things
when you come here mint choc drink is for you
that was delicious we strategically only got an iced chocolate though
because there is a special coffee that we want to try that actually started here in Hanoi and
it should be just on the other side of the lake we have tried it before but this one's different
the reason that we're getting another egg coffee in Hanoi is because this is where
they all started so in 1947 there was a man who worked at a hotel when there was a milk shortage
and he got it all creative and he ended up whisking his egg yolks putting it with sugar
and using it as a milk replacement people ended up loving it so he opened his own little shop and
then his kids carried on this legacy and opened their shops and this is one of those shops here
so different to the one that we've already had i know that the rule now is
you mix it together and it makes just a really delicious creamy coffee
but i'm really looking forward to this one because it's the OG the original recipe
that is the best egg coffee we've had for sure i feel bad destroying
the picture that's on here but i have to try it
that's awesome did you get like an egg aftertaste i really like it
that egg coffee was amazing so much better than the first time we tried it even though the first
time was pretty good it was a bit weird like you go in through these dingy steps and you walk up
what looks to be like an abandoned building but trust me go to the top it's worth it
so we are making our way through the crazy busy streets of Hanoi
to go from one famous thing the egg coffee to the next if you look up things to do in
Hanoi this is the number one thing that comes up it's gonna be a little bit scary
we have come to one of the most famous spots in Hanoi train street we're gonna try and find
a cafe or something along the train line and wait for one to go by and i'm kind of scared
already because how do you know that one's coming i knew it was tight but it's tighter than expected
like really tight like worrisomely tight we'll be fine
that was crazy it's louder than you think it's going to be even though you think it's
going to be loud that was really cool it was so much closer than i thought it would
be like if i put my arm out like that i would have touched it that is insane
my phone is under the train right now
loved it it is like a tourist hot spot but for a good reason you have to come here you
have to see it one of the locals that runs the shop that we stayed at was like yeah put your
phone underneath the train so now we have this amazing shot of the train literally going over
my phone gives me anxiety looking at the shot it was so stressful but it's like an adrenaline rush
like i feel all amped up now now i think we are going to go to our third famous thing for the day
yeah yeah and go and grab a Bahn Mi from the most recommended Bahn Mi place in Hanoi
well deserved after this yeah i feel sweaty
Banh Mi
25 and it is the most famous Bahn Mi spot in Hanoi across the road is the original
location and you can go there if you're getting take away but if you want to sit
in and enjoy it in the restaurant you've got to come across the road which is where we are now
you can get a regular Bahn Mi which is what Jordan has
or you can get i don't know what this is called but it's essentially a deconstructed Bahn Mi
look how much bread i've got you get three whole things of bread in the basket and then you've
got all your delicious bits to put in on the side in this gorgeous gold pan i'm so excited
Bahn Mi 25 was bloody amazing would highly recommend if you ever get the chance to come
to Hanoi we're finishing the day off with some ice cream back at the lake then we're
both pretty tired from being up at 6 a.m and we have to do it again tomorrow so i think
we're gonna go back to the hotel yeah back to the hotel rest up tomorrow we get to check out Sapa
and i have a pretty girlfriend
KFC 11 herbs and spices, do i need coffee?
