Then, take a walk around the street food heaven in District 10 to taste 4#shredded pork crispy rice and 5#fried bao buns. At the next stop, immerse yourself in the biggest flower market of Saigon and try the best 6#Vietnamese pizza, 7#grilled crackers, and challenge yourself with 8#snails stuffed with pork.
Next, venture into the oldest apartment area to enjoy sugarcane juice and 9#Hue beef noodle soup before stopping for fantastic 10#Banh mi.
