Xoi Yen Hanoi
Hanoi, Vietnam
The read// why locals go
Xoi Yen sells sticky rice on Nguyen Huu Huan Street, and it is the version of Hanoi breakfast that office workers eat standing up before the day starts. The xoi comes under mung bean paste and fried shallots with whatever protein you point at, packed dense enough to carry you to lunch. It is a shop rather than a restaurant, trading until the rice runs out around midday and then closing regardless of who is still queuing. Vegetarian combinations are available. Portions run around 30,000 VND, which makes it one of the cheapest genuinely good meals in the old quarter.
