Let the “102 Saigon District Tour” take on that “lofty” mission.
-
Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings - We begin at Chuoi nep nuong Vo Van Tan in District 3, one of the city’s most unique areas. This vendor, located on a small street corner, has been serving a Vietnamese-Cambodian dish called “Chuoi Nep Nuong” or “Banana Grilled with Sticky Rice” for over forty years. Next, we’ll venture into the heart of District 3 to explore the Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings Area, home to numerous famous Vietnamese street foods that will tantalize your taste buds. Here, you’ll find the original Bun Bo Hue, a unique recipe that takes 8-10 hours to create a rich broth with beef slices, pork sausage, vibrant onion, and spicy coriander. This food stop is run by a local with over 25 years of experience from Hue (central Vietnam). Then, stroll along a street known for its barbecue seafood vendors and head to a local favorite restaurant to taste the best “Bò Lá Lốt” (Beef in Wild Betel Leaves).
-
Ho Thi Ky Flower Market - A street food paradise awaits. Watch “Bánh Xèo” and “Bánh Khọt” being made right before your eyes. Originating from the Mekong Delta in western Vietnam, “Banh Xeo” gets its name from the sizzling sound it makes when cooked on a hot pan. Then, take a stroll and try Bo Nuong Sa– BBQ grilled pork wrapped in lemongrass. Next, savor a traditional Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich from a local vendor before enjoying a refreshing sugar cane drink. Your food adventure continues with a visit to the Khmer market (next to Ho Thi Ky), where you’ll sit like the locals and enjoy Vietnamese pizza (a student favorite). Relax with a Saigon beer (or jasmine tea) and listen to your student guides share their local life stories.
-
Chinatown (Cho Lon) - District 5 - Our final stop is Che Mam Khanh Vy, where you’ll enjoy Vietnamese Sweet Soup. The owner has 45 years of experience selling traditional Che in Saigon. It’s located under an old apartment in District 10, part of Chinatown.
-
