Finally, I went to a small shop which looked quite clean and there were lots of choices for food. I chose some eggs, some tiny shrimp paste, some stir fried vegetables, some stir fried spare ribs with sesame and some broth. I actually enjoyed my meal which cost only 20,000Vnd while speaking a few words with an old man from the countryside who drank a whole bottle of rice wine during his meal. He was hilarious with his strange accent and he invited me to drink wine with him, too. Oh my gosh, how can I keep up with him.
If you get lost in the Old Quarter at lunch time, go to 40 Cau Go street, cheap and good. Good luck!

I normally stay at The Time Hotel (6 Cau Go) whenever I am in Hanoi so 40 Cau Go would always be my choice for a quick cheap lunch too. Never had a stomach problem after eating there, but do not venture out to the back. The washing up can really put you off the food!
Streetfood is the most kickass. You've not truly experienced a country unless you've tried their streetfood culture.
6 years ago, i think i buyed around 7000 VND for a lot more food than what you had right there. The cost of living in Ha Noi is just sky rocket faster than in Sai Gon .
Looks delicious!
