Max McFarlin is not an unfamiliar name in the world travel community. This blogger is from Arkansas, USA.
On his personal channel, Max shared that he “wants to travel around the world, meet wonderful friends and taste all the delicacies along the way”.
With a great passion for travel, especially for street food, Max has made many trips with different cultural experiences, and of course, many great dishes are indispensable.
With Asian countries, this handsome blogger has set foot in Korea, India, Thailand, Laos and even Vietnam.
At the end of last November, Max had the opportunity to visit Hanoi, so it is impossible to ignore a variety of rustic delicacies, from vermicelli, shrimp paste, eel vermicelli and chicken. Before that, this guy enjoyed the fish ball dish.
Vermicelli with shrimp paste and shrimp paste is a familiar dish in the cuisine of northern Vietnam, but so far it has appeared along the length of the country. The dish includes popular ingredients, fresh vermicelli, golden fried tofu, can be served with rice rolls, thinly boiled spring rolls, deep fried heart …
And the “soul” of the dish is the shrimp paste mixed with kumquat (kumquat), chili, and sugar to make attractive foam. If you like, you can add a little hot cooking oil to the top, increasing the fatness. This is the sauce to “reconcile” and connect all seemingly “unrelated” ingredients together.
During this trip, Max went to a popular noodle shop with shrimp paste and shrimp paste located on the sidewalk of Ly Thuong Kiet Street. The shop has been open for sale for about 5 years, usually welcoming guests at noon.
Due to having enjoyed street food in many places, Max proved to adapt to new dishes very quickly. Although for many foreigners, special fish sauce with shrimp paste which is “not easy to eat” because it has a “difficult to smell” smell, but Max still wants to taste it.
He chooses a full set of fresh vermicelli, hot fried beans, deep-fried, boiled ham and lots of herbs.
For Max, the shrimp paste here was so mouth-watering and palatable that he had to order more. At the end of the full meal for about 30,000 VND, the American man was satisfied, he did not forget to introduce everyone to enjoy because the restaurant only sells a few hours at noon.
