"Phở" - rice noodle soup with beef or chicken, is considered Vietnam’s national dish and it’s eaten every where on the street.  Families guard their Pho Broths closely but Hidden Hanoi will show you all our secret ingredients as well as simplify the recipe and method so that you can recreate it at home for you family and friends.

Coffee has been introduced to Vietnam in early 1900 by the French. Then slowly it becomes a very popular drink here. Coffee with egg sound a little bit weird but actually it has amazing flavor. It is not a drink but become a cool desert as well. The legend of the Egg coffee started in 1946 after the Second World War finished with a problem of getting imported fresh milk in Vietnam. So a bartender who made coffee at that time invented a new way of drinking coffee with what we have a lot here: Egg and sugar. So you now then could be able to witness the beauty of “Vietnamese Latte” with its special texture and flavor.
