The ốc béo story

Quán Ốc Béo Hà Nội on Ban Co — the ốc béo story, recorded entry by entry.

Entry The name

Ốc béo

'Ốc béo' means plump, meaty snails — the name says exactly what the house serves: Hanoi-style ốc, steaming hot, on the sidewalk.

Entry The sidewalk

Open-air, for real

The house sits right on the Ban Co sidewalk — tables along the curb, traffic rolling past, pure Hanoi street energy.

Entry The steamer

Steam rising

The snails arrive steaming hot — eaten while the steam still rises, the way it should be.

Plastic stools, sidewalk tables, steaming ốc — Hanoi as it should be, in the middle of Saigon.Quán Ốc Béo Hà Nội
