Hanoi oldest shops
|
One of those things to do in Hanoi is to find suitable souvenirs to take back home, down here is list of Hanoi oldest shop that you may want to fill up your luggage by their products.
Hanoi celebrated its 1000-year-old anniversary 5 years ago yet its ancient sprit is still hover in many shops that has existed in this city for decades. Let’s take a look:
Tan My embroidery:
This is known as Hanoi oldest embroidery
shop that produced embroidered goods. From pillow cases, clothes, linens,
table cloths and pyjamas, you'll find everything you need to outfit you and
your home. Celebrated for three generations for its high-quality work, Tan My
is a familiar place of the local for beautiful hand-embroidered fabrics. Grow
out of the very difficult years of war in Vietnam with handkerchiefs which were
embroidered messages from loved ones for soldiers to carry with them throughout
the war. All of Tan My product is manually made with highly skilled. Tan My has
specific team who work exclusively for them to ensure that the highest,
elaboration quality will be maintained.
Address:
·
66 Hang Gai strt, Hoan Kiem dist, Hanoi Old
Quarter.
Note:
·
The price of Tan My designed products may be
high but I don’t think it could be a problem with such elaboration embroidered
goods that they provide. Otherwise many fake stores have intimated Tan My
product but theirs could never compare to the real authentic one, please notice
and be a wise customer.

Dong Xuan market:
The oldes market in Hanoi, the street it
located was named under the name of this famous market. In the old time, this
was one of the most crowded market that everything could be found in this
place, yet it’s still busy now a day but this is regarded as the market for
bulker only. It was built under the French colonel with a very French architecture.
In 1994 Dong Xuan market got into the worst conflagration that ever occurred in
Hanoi so far, then it was rebuilt as what you’ve seen today. With 3 floor sell
everything that could be sold, but the quality is never be the same as the old
glory day, I recommend this as a place to visit not to buy goods, because you
could probably receive a “tourist price” only if you go with a well-experienced
locals, then it’s ok.

Pho Bat Dan:
As I’ve probably recommended this place in
my earlier post: What to do in Hanoi Part 3: Hanoi eating,
they make real good Hanoian Pho that hardly anywhere could compare or imitate
its flavor. The soup with its very own flavor along with nicely cooked beef
will certainly wake all your taste buds, this is the reason why you have to
queue up to get just a bowl of Pho. Pho Bat Dan is fully filled with customers
everyday even the way it’s served is inconvenient. They usually out of Pho at
10am so please come early. Not only in the morning, but also at night this
small shop is still crowded, they have to put extra plastic tables in the
pavement to serve all Pho-eaters. The price of one bowl is 40 000 dong, more
expensive than others shop but still very reasonable for such a good bowl of
Pho.
Address:
·
49 Bat Dan strt, Hoan Kiem dist, Hanoi Old
Quarter.

Just be patient haha :)

Coffee:
If you search “Hanoi Oldest coffee shop”,
the result come out would probably is Lam Coffee in Nguyen Huu Huan strt, but
if you looking for roasted coffee to buy back home this is so not the place.
The oldest coffee roaster in Hanoi belonged to Mrs. Huong Mai, who is the
founder of Huongmai Café. Huongmai café originally located in Hang Buom
street, where is also her house. Mrs. Huong Mai only roasted coffee in small
amount just enough to sell for the locals but it doesn’t mean that her
reputation couldn’t spread out all over the place. Following Mrs. Huong Mai
roasting method, her son developed her small shop into a protected monopoly
brand. After 3 decades, Huongmai Café has never failed to
please any choosey customer. With its famous Weasel
Legend Coffee and many other type of Vietnamese coffee like Traditional
Vietnamese Coffee for example, this brand is loved not only by the locals
but also the tourist who have a chance to try Huongmai coffee. Along with
coffee, Huongmai café also offer Vietnamese tea like Jasmine, Snow Shan
(tea that was produced in the highland of Vietnam and also looked like it was
mixed with snow), Oolong, Lotus Green Tea … With 3 official locations, you will
find a truly taste of Vietnamese famous beverage, carefully, freshly and daily
packed.
