Snail noodles

Thai seafood noodle soup
The seafood noodle bowl looks very `delicious` with red shrimp, thick squid rings, golden fried fish, green onions, green celery and the saffron color of spicy and sour sauce. When eating, diners will clearly feel the flavor.
This is a new dish that appeared in Hanoi but is mentioned a lot because of its attractiveness and affordable price.
Grilled octopus
The octopus here is pre-marinated with spices, onions, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, sesame, pepper… Diners just need to grill it on a charcoal stove and they will immediately have a golden-colored grilled dish, emitting an inviting aroma.
The most interesting thing is on a cold fall night, sitting at a sidewalk restaurant, hanging out with friends, hanging out next to the grill to slowly feel the chewy, crispy, sweet taste of the dish.
