On a cold winter day, Andreev was taken by his friend, Phuong Dung, to a famous snail street stall in Hanoi Old Quarter, downtown Hanoi. As the duo entered the small, yet crowded stall, pull up a plastic stool and took their seat, Phuong showed the Russian young man how to use the small stick to pull the snail’s flesh out of its shell.

“It’s big”, Andreev said as he staring excitedly at a snail. He then used the small stick to pull the flesh out, dipped it into the dipping sauce and took a big bite.

“It tastes more delicious than it looks. It’s super flavorful and fragrant, I really like it. There’s chili, lemongrass, pepper, so yummy!”, he said while finishing the rest of the bowl.

“You can’t believe what I’ve just tried. It’s such an unforgettable experience”, he was quoted by VNE. “Boiled snails, it’s something pleasantly spicy and sweet, with the delicate taste of salt. Perfect blend of flavors”.

In this street, it’s more about the snails with coconut sauce than one specific restaurant. I personally love snails with sauces than simply boiled or steamed and I really enjoyed both tamarind and coconut sauce dishes here.
