We took a taxi about 45 minutes to the outskirt of Hanoi. This area has many restaurants serving snake meat.
Entrance to the restaurant, which is reached through some narrow streets and alleys.
A view of the courtyard of the bustling restaurant.
Members of the staff preparing the snakes for cooking.
We had a 12-course meal but not all were snake dishes. Here are 3 snake dishes, cooked in different ways. It came to about 250,000 dongs each, or about $12.50.
One of the dishes, which includes the skin. It's kind of chewy.
A dish of snake hearts, which no one ate.
Thank God.
Hi Meng! Wow...what a different kind of cuisine. The dish with the skin was a little gnarly looking not to mention the hearts. How are you doing? I hope you are well. Is your daughter still visiting? These are great pictures and stories. You should write for a travel guide. Miss you. Take care. Dianna
