Fermented spring roll – Tam Thuong alley, Hang Bong Street
Tam Thuong is a small alley lied on Hang Bong street but it symbolizes Hanoi Old Quarter. It is too small that two motorbikes slide hard and there is no house in this alley with modern appearance, all are old and small.
Every afternoon, a team of teenagers welcome customers with polite greetings: “Enjoy fermented spring roll ladies and gentlemen” and lead customers to the street food shop they want.
Fermented spring rolls are quite good taste with medium fried and crispy rolls. This kind of spring roll is dipped with chutnee together with green mango, yam bean or cucumber.

Goc Da shop has been standing at Ly Quoc Su street for 20 years. It’s name itself answer where it is; the shop stands back to an old banyan. Beside traditional pillow cake, the shop orders Banh ran (a deep-fried glutinous rice ball), Banh bao (steamed pork bun), crab spring rolls for customers’ satisfaction.
