By Plane (Airlines, Jetstar, Vietjet Air)
From Ha Noi city:

c, Soft Sweet Potatoes (Khoai Dẻo)
Another my favourite food in this place is Soft Sweet Potatoes (Khoai Dẻo). They are made from the Red Sweet Potatoes in Quảng Bình Province.
After boiling, people here dry it under the sun for 10 to 12 times, the flexibility of the potatoes is resulted from the number of dry times. Local people here also called it “Sâm đất” due to its shapes.
* At Dong Hoi market, you can find them.
d,Vietnamese Crepes Quang Hoa (Bánh Xèo Quảng Hòa)
we have to say about Vietnamese Crepes Quang Hoa (Bánh Xèo Quảng Hòa). The crepe is made from red rice (raw rice or gạo lức) and quite simple to cook but need to have all its side dishes: snakehead fish, musa balbisiana (a type of wild bananas), vegetables, dry pancake and fish sauce. The vegetables must have bean sprouts and sesame.
The dish is best served when it is just cooked so do not order too many at once, you can ask for more later to fully enjoy the dish. and see how it is one of our Best Vietnamese Food.
* Cho Ga – Nam Ly market (the local market) near the train station, this food is very cheap and delicious
