“A lovely and tasteful tour around the old city center of Hoi'an. I was the only one that took the tour for the evening. So had a one on one with my guide Ngoc. She showed me around several spots and ate about 10 different kinf of dishes. The food was great however there were some bizarre things to eat, like the boiled embryo duck egg, even so worth on trying if you like or dare. The white Rose dumpling restaurant was also a treat to be there, seeing all the ladies in dresses preparing the dumplings together on a big table. Very nice and tasty. Thanks for the food…”
