Gidday. I have been to Hanoi many times and we love it! We have also done the Halong bay cruises a few times. and while they are great.... we always have the same problem... The food is western mish mash Shiite! I am hoping to reserve a large vessel for our 50th Birthday. We will book out the entire boat. I am wondering if anyone can help with the following:-
A) Can you recommend a boat with good VIETNAMESE food, we love Quan An non type food or better and we love street Bun Cha!
B) A number of boat companies have said I can hire the boat and bring my own chef. Can anyone recommend a chef that would do this?
If its anything like HK, we dont book the tourist stuff off the i-web... so I thought you guys would be in the know....
Thx so much for your time...
happy to help with HK info! Or house swap!!!
Cheerio!
