My last visit was 2007. After 12 years later, it has changed so much that I could recognize very few things only. The hotel I stayed last time and its vicinity.
Bun Cha Ha Noi

It was first time for me to taste Banh Duc Nong. Soft and tender. A local friend took me here and no tourists at all. It means the price was also very local. We ordered 3 dishes including Banh Duc Nong, Bun Cha, it was a bit too much but I could not leave anything because those were, all very delicious.
Hang Duong Market

I love to visit local market whenever I travel. Here, I went for monkey island but I can tell, you should not miss this local sea food market to have lunch or dinner. So good price with various seafood. Needless to say, it tastes super nice. They cook at the shop and serve for you, if you sit any table in the hall.
