Kick off your food tour of Ho Chi Minh City with a short walk from the Saigon Opera House to the Old Market with your guide. En route, glimpse Vietnam’s past as its French Colonial buildings transport you back in time.
At the Old Market, find dozens of street vendors selling mouthwatering favorites like fresh spring rolls, green papaya salad and Vietnamese steamed rice cakes, to name a few. Inhale the spicy scents and sample authentic local appetizers as you watch life unfold in the heart of the city.
Afterward, follow your guide to Mong Bridge for a unique river view at sunset. Then indulge in what might be the most famous of Saigonese street food: banh mi. Eat up this classic baguette sandwich filled with savory flavors — it doesn’t get much better than this.
Next, head to a popular haunt to enjoy coffee the way local aficionados do. Just don’t be misled by the modest façade; it hides a gourmet coffee haven within. Follow up with another one of the city’s iconic street-food dishes: com tam, or broken rice. This dish is usually served with grilled pork and accompanied by greens and pickled vegetables. Although the ingredients are simple, the taste is unforgettable.
After a trip to Ben Thanh Night Market to pick up a Vietnamese che (a sweet soup-pudding-beverage hybrid dessert that’s popular with locals), end your evening tour with a cold Saigonese beer at another street stall.
