Tho Xuong is located neatly connecting two other alleys, Ngo Huyen and Au Trieu. The sidewalk space, located right at the beginning of the district’s lane, is filled with simple items such as a small plastic chair that serves as both a chair and a table for guests.
Gourmets in Hanoi’s Old Quarter often tell each other that if you want to eat porridge here, you must go early, usually before 5pm, otherwise the porridge shops here will run out of goods. Rib porridge is a simple rustic dish anywhere and Ngo Huyen is no exception, with just a pot of porridge and a few chairs. A bowl of porridge is not eaten to fill up, but to satisfy hunger. But Hanoi people still come and stop by with the thought of wanting to find the aftertaste of a difficult past.
< p>There are all kinds of diners, but the students are the most numerous. Many people have eaten here since they were in school and to this day they still say that the restaurants here when they were kids are still delicious. Crispy fried regularly and the sales lady is also enthusiastic.
The shop here has two types of porridge: rib porridge and mussel porridge. Smooth, pure white rib porridge that melts sweetly as soon as you put it in your mouth. The rich taste of stewed bones. The porridge must be eaten with crispy fried dough and some meat floss to increase its deliciousness.
Unlike other air-conditioned restaurants, sitting here has its own unique charm. While eating, I watched people walking around in the alleys and on the busy streets. In the cold season, students like to come home from school in the afternoon and invite each other to eat rib porridge. The sales ladies are very friendly, even though the porridge shop is very crowded every afternoon, there aren’t many seats, but they can still arrange for a group of 5-6 students to sit.
