Banana Fritters, Nghi Tam, Hanoi

My Mum lives in Hanoi. How cool is that?

We are staying with her in Nghi Tam, giving us opportunity to explore other parts of this great city than just the Old Quarter. So yesterday we trekked out to Truc Bach Lake, though we didn’t get terribly far before we hit fritter-ville and had to stop and sample some deep-fried treats.

A crispy, hot banana fritter each, wrapped in a little square of newspaper, like I hear fish and chips used to be. Delicious, but best to stop at just one, i think.

Also on offer were what looked like corn fritters, and something else, stick like with a slice of banana in the midst.

    mmm
    banana fritters;
    In these photographs,
    all the smell and all the sizzle merge with the essence of this street.
    You’re food-eye-lishously gifted

    [...] gloves and scarfs even on mild days, freezing on the back of a motorbike, days of constant drizzle, banana fritters, hot pot (lau) and warm sweet soup [...]
