The restaurant signboard had English wordings. "Roll Over". That was the description for the food, banh cuon(rolled rice sheet). Banh cuon was a very common Vietnamese breakfast.
In the shop, banh cuon was freshly prepared. It was steamed on the spot.
There were also some side dishes, in case you want a heavier breakfast.
I noticed in Hanoi restaurant, even the owner provided dedicated rubbish bin for each table, there would still be rubbish scattered on the floor. Once, I saw the worker cleaned the floor, but the floor was dirty again before I could finish my meal.
It was weird that they had English signboard but not English menu. I did not understand the menu at that time, but here is the my best guess after searching the net now.
Banh Cuon Nong - rolled rice sheet with minced meat and mushroom
Banh Cuon Thit Ga - rolled rice sheet with chicken meat
Gio Lua - Vietnamese ham
Cha Que - Cinnamon Pate
Lap Xuong - Vietnamese Sausage
Trung Ga - Egg
Thin Dau Ca Cuong - Water Bug(Luckily we did not order this.)
Of course, we ordered Banh Cuon Nong. It came with a bowl of dipping sauce. The rolled rice sheet was very thin and smooth, and it tasted very good with the fish sauce. Perhaps, I should try adding fish sauce to Malaysia chee cheong fun. It should be good. ;)
We also tried out their Cha Que and Gio Luo(?). The square one was Cha Que, but I am not sure if the round one was Gio Luo. But I think it should, because it could not match to any other in the menu. :p
In total, we only spent 26kVND for breakfast.
