About this experience
This is more than a food tour — it’s a hands-on cultural journey into Hanoi’s Subsidy Era (1976–1986), told through food, stories, and immersive spaces. Instead of just tasting dishes, guests actively roll spring rolls, brew iconic Vietnamese coffee, and enjoy simple subsidy-era snacks that reflect a time of scarcity and creativity.
What makes this experience truly special is the use of exclusive mini tram cars, each curated as a moving mini-museum with different layers of Hanoi’s past
Beyond the trams, the tour connects food with real local life through visits to Tran Quoc Pagoda, local markets, and the Truc Bach area, offering insight into how people lived, worshipped, and found resilience during challenging times.

- Taste 1920-style Phở, spring rolls, and classic Subsidy-Era snacks.
