okay so i admit i definitely enjoy eating on the street more than i do inmost restaurants in hanoi for two reason:
1: most sit down vietnam(ese) restaurants have way too much neon lighting and terrible service
2: it's an either overpriced western style restaurant or poor interpretation of one, more on that later
is that four reasons? eating on the street gets me everything i want, great service, inexpensive but delicious food, and cheap beer, booze, green tea...
anyway, this post is decicated to bun cha lady, the story is that she has been on this corner for like 30 plus years, bangin out the bun cha. i've had bun cha at a few places after being initiated to it last summer and her pork is definitely the best, the sticks she marinites and roasts the pork on have years and years of whatever goodness she treats them with and has minimal fat (another rarity) most of the time. plus she adds just the right amount of chiles to give her fish sauce a noticeable yet subtle spicy tang. only bad thing is bun cha is only for lunch.
