One of the joys of travel is savoring the cuisine of another country, whether it’s because you already love it or because you want to try something new. In Southeast Asia, I came away with a new appreciation of Vietnamese and Cambodian dishes on two outstanding food tours. With the help of knowledgeable guides, I was taken where few tourists tread: street food stands, tiny restaurants in narrow alleys and night markets bustling with families out to enjoy local favorites.

We went on two food tours while in Hanoi, but it was the second one that left a lasting impression.
