Eating in Hanoi

Hanoi is famous with the old town (phố cổ) which is near Hoàn Kiếm lake. Along with the name "old town", everything here seems to be "old". Hanoi was 1000 years old in 2010. Houses in the old town are tiny. Even the hotels are small, too. The buildings are allowed to have 5 floors only. People said that in some areas, they couldn´t see the light during the daytime.
