With its warm sun and cool breezes, autumn is the best time to visit Vietnam’s capital.
Autumn doesn’t have a fixed schedule, but the senses alert you to her arrival when you can smell sweet milk flowers and see venders selling golden apples on the streets. |
Most Vietnamese people don’t actually eat golden apples, they just buy them to enjoy their pleasant smell. |
Dracontomelum mixed with salt, sugar and chili is one of Hanoi’s autumn snacks that everyone should try on a visit to the city. |
The picture of autumn in Hanoi would be incomplete if there wasn’t ‘com’, sticky green rice. This kind of premature rice is wrapped in lotus leaves to give it a faint yet pleasant aroma. |
Hanoians also eat ‘com’ with ripe bananas. The sweetness of the bananas mingled with the sticky ‘com’ seems like an odd mix, but it’s actually a perfect combination. |
