Back to Hanoi

Back in Hanoi today! I didn't arrive until 5am, and watched from my taxi as the morning train rattled through the city.
I didn't end up doing a lot, apart from some shopping in-between meals, snacks and coffee stops. Snacks and desserts were a hit, however both lunch and tea was extremely disappointing. The restaurants I picked had good reviews, and I ordered basic food like Pho or vietnamese pancakes, so I'm not sure what went wrong :(
I did finally get to see egg coffee in the morning, the barista explained as he went along. He whipped up one egg yolk per coffee with the smallest bit of egg whites, caramel syrup, condensed milk and a dash of white rum. It whipped up into a thick glossy mixture, which was poured onto drip coffee, and finished off with cocoa powder. It was so tasty.
I don't know why but I hate packing the night before, I much prefer the morning off, so I set my alarm for 5, for a mid morning flight to Hong Kong!Read more
