Hanoi is a popular destination for international travelers, boasting unique natural landscapes, a vibrant culture, and a captivating culinary scene. While there have been isolated incidents of overcharging tourists, the city’s hospitality and authenticity remain intact, as evidenced by a recent encounter on Hang Ma Street in the heart of the Old Quarter.
A foreign visitor’s experience at a local bakery on this street has garnered much praise. Upon inquiring about the prices, the bakery owners provided a detailed English menu, listing various types of sandwiches with different fillings, along with clearly displayed price tags. This simple yet thoughtful gesture ensured a positive dining experience for the foreign guest.
The bakery owners’ attention to detail continued as they carefully asked the customer if he would like chili sauce in his sandwich. This level of consideration left a lasting impression on the foreign visitor.
Netizens applauded the bakery for their honest practices and thoughtful accommodations for foreign guests:
– Not only do they display prices clearly, but they also provide an English menu. This is how it should be in a tourist city!
– Clear pricing and no overcharging.
– I think having set prices like this is the best solution, even for street vendors.
– Polite and transparent with their pricing.
The foreign visitor described the sandwich as “authentic” and gave it a rating of 9/10. He also emphasized that the quality far exceeded the price. This story serves as a valuable lesson for businesses catering to international tourists. A simple English menu and clear pricing can go a long way in leaving a positive impression on both foreign and local customers.
