Saigon at Sunset: Street Food and Local Drink Tour

Saigon food tour kicks off with some authentic local appetizers such as chao muc (a dry squid porridge) and xa xui (Cantonese barbecued pork). Learn how Chinese food has been integrated into Vietnamese cuisine as you inhale the spicy flavors of the street stalls and watch local life unfold before your eyes in the heart of Saigon. Your immersion into local life continues as you make your way to the corner of Nguyen Cong Tru and Calmette for a unique street food called banh bo banh tieu, which recalls memories of many Saigonese childhoods. It wouldn’t be a true local experience without enjoying coffee the way Saigonese coffee aficionados do on a daily basis. Head to a popular local hem of Saigon to enjoy a cup. Experience the local style of taking your coffee and feel right at home. Next up is another one of the city’s iconic street food dish: bo bia (Saigonese spring roll) and bo cuon mo chai (barbecued beef meatballs) and fried rice flour cake with egg. These dishes are some of the most popular and preferred dishes by southerners, and what makes them so beloved is that the ingredients are so strikingly simple, yet the tastes and flavors are truly unforgettable. We’ll cap off the tour with, what else, street beer! At this street beer stall, we’ll outfit you with a cold Saigon beer with peanuts and rice crackers and taste some deep-fried tofu with lemongrass or salted egg yolk with green chili.
