What are Hanoi’s food specialities?

Hanoi is very famous for its local, inexpensive food such as Phở (Noodle soup), Bún chả, (grilled pork and noodles), Cha Ca La Vong (an original grilled fish dish), and Xoi xeo (a specialty dish of sticky rice often eaten for breakfast), to name a few. These local treats are not only delicious, but are cooked quite differently than in other cities.  On the street, it’s an experience to just see the locals cook, using their own methods.
