Highlights

Ho Chi Minh City - Your local student street food guide, who is passionate about Vietnamese street food, will pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or Airbnb by taxi. You will leave the tourist area behind and start your food adventure in a street food paradise.

You will taste “Banh Xeo” and “Banh Khot”, which are rice pancakes from the Central and South of Vietnam, with lots of fresh Vietnamese vegetables. You will stroll along a street known for its barbecue seafood vendors. Then, you will head to a local-favorite restaurant to taste the best “bo la lot” (beef in wild betel leaves) and “Hue beef soup” (or Bun Thit nuong), which is an 8-hour slow-cooked soup from Hue.

You will continue your immersion in mouth-watering food as you head to the alleys of food in the heart of the street food district. You will sample a tasty “Bo La Lot”, which is pan-grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves. It is cooked by a local chef with over 17 years of experience.

Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings - Next up on your food adventure is Banh Mi, which is Saigon Baguette. You will experience the perfect fusion of 4 delicious flavors just after the first bite. You will walk into the heart of District 3 and discover the old apartments called Nguyen Thien Thuat. This area is home to dozens of famous Vietnamese street food that will tempt your stomach.

On the corner of Seafood alley, you will sit like the locals and munch on Vietnamese pizza, which is the best in town. You will have local drinks with Saigon special beer, sugar cane juice, or mineral water.

To cap off your Saigon street food walking tour, you will enjoy an amazing dessert at the night flower market. You can choose Vietnamese sweet soup (chè) or flan cake with caramel and coffee. Your local guide will take a taxi to take you back to your accommodation.

Ho Thi Ky Flower Market - Ho Thi Ky is the largest flower market in Ho Chi Minh City, supplies flowers to the city and some provinces in the South of Vietnam. Founded in the 1980s, this is a rare place that upholds the characteristic of the old Saigon.

Way to experience HMC - We weren’t at all confident with being part of the crazy traffic after our first day in the Minh but riding with our hosts Mei and Phu was a breeze. It is an experience I would recommend to anyone able bodied. We enjoyed lots of different foods in a variety of locations and even got the chance to cook some of it! I have now ridden in taxis and buses too but the back of the scooter was the best for taking in the sights and sounds. Highly enjoyable and Mei is a delight to communicate with.
