A guide to your Saigon food tour

It is not overrated to consider Vietnam the world’s kitchen because you will always find your favorite food anywhere you go, especially in Ho Chi Minh City.

Centre Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, is famous for its unique cuisine, which is a strength in tourism aside from the beauty of nature and diversified culture. However, most tourists only hear of some mainstream dishes such as bun cha, pho and banh my. You have a big affection for food? It would be a shortcoming in your Saigon food tour if you miss these below ones that are popular among locals and food adventurers. This post will guide you what and where to eat in Ho Chi Minh City.

1. Summer rolls

Address: 359/1/9A Le Van Sy, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.

Price: $0.5/ roll

Summer roll is loved by many because it is frugal but nutrient. A roll often consists of various kind of vegetables, picked tubers, spicy leaves, meaty ingredients like pork, prawns and sausages.

People like to have summer rolls in hot weather to soothe the heat that they believe to be stuck inside. The slight sour from picked ingredients neutralizes the greasy meat but remain its natural sweet and make you cannot stop pick one more then one more.

Summer rolls cannot be integral if there is not sauce, the soul of the dish. If meat serves as the main ingredients, each kind of it go with a specific kind of sauce. For example, there is a famous stall located at 359/1/9A Le Van Sy, District 3, HCM City that serves summer rolls with 3 main ingredients: prawn and pork roll, sauté pork skin roll, pork ear roll. And 3 types of sauce to match with each of them are peanut sauce, anchovy paste and fish sauce in turn.

The address above is drawing much attention from locals as well as travelers because they sell good food at a low price. Often, reasonable price for one roll is $0.5 down.

2. Huyen’s noodles

Address: 183/3 Tran Ke Xuong, Ward 7, Phu Nhuan Districts, Ho Chi Minh City.

Price: $4.8

Recently, many are curious about the special set of instant noodles sold at 183/3 Tran Ke Xuong, Ward 7, Phu Nhuan Districts, Ho Chi Minh City.

To find out about it, I have visited the address in Mrs. Huyen’s store and got made amazed by the instant noodles sold at unbelievably high price.

But after the first try, I was totally convinced by its quality. Though it costs about $4.8, much higher than a bowl of ordinary one, the noodle deserves the expense. The dish is served with many side dishes such as scalded beef full bowl with green onion, egg, and Vietnamese sausage.

3. Crab Soup

Address: No.345 Nguyen Thuonng Hien Street, Ward 11, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City – Ms. Bụi restaurant.

Price: $17

Crab soup is not something new but at Ms. Bui, they have special huge size servings. The soup has well made texture and natural taste with mushrooms and a huge meaty nipper.

The sauce is also made by a unique recipe that go well with crab meat.

Besides, this restaurant serves squish sticky rice as well and it is the exclusive dish of the restaurant all over Saigon.

4. Grilled beef and snakehead fish in lolot leaf

Address: 321 Vo Van Tan Alley, Ho Chi Minh City

Many locals has recommnded grilled beef and globefish in lolot leaf at Ms. Lieng’s food store located at 321 Vo Van Tan Alley, Ho Chi Minh City.

Beef is rolled into lolot leaves while sneakhead fish is cut into pieces then grilled over charcoal. The dishes are served with fresh vegetables, rice noodles and unripen mango. When eating, all ingredients are wrapped inside lettuce and rice paper, then dipped into spicy fish sauce, which made all in concord to create a composition of flavors.

5. Eel porridge

Address: No. 95, D2 Street, Ward 25, Binh Thanh (Lươn đông xứ Nghệ o Lài)

Eel meat is carefully torn into long strip and put on top of the bowl with some kinds of herb. How comfortable to have a bowl of eel porridge after a long day walking and seeing the grandiose city.

Below are some more addresses to recommend to you on you food tours in Ho Chi Minh City:

Chopped beef grilled with lemongrass at Le Hong Phong Market.

Snail and mussel noodles at Ms. Lan, No. 2/4 Ngo Van So, Ward 13, District 4.

Steamed rice vermicelli with fermented paste soup at 144 Khanh Hoi, District 4.

Hue Mussel rice at 17A Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1.

Vietnam, Hong Kong best places for first Asia experience: Canada tourism site

Vietnam, Hong Kong best places for first Asia experience: Canada tourism site

Vietnam and Hong Kong are where travelers should get their first Asia experiences, says Mapped, a Canadian travel news site.

The site, on digital publication Daily Hive, compliments the two places for retaining their “authentic character.”

It says Hong Kong will offer a more modern experience while Vietnam will provide a more true and authentic taste of the Asian lifestyle.

Vietnam and Hong Kong are both safe destinations and full of friendly and welcoming locals, which make travelers “not want to leave.”

To get the true taste of Vietnamese cuisine, Mapped says food lovers and anyone who is not afraid to give everything a try should visit Dong Xuan Market in Hanoi. The market offers a variety of food from a bowl of pho (a kind of rice noodle served with beef or chicken slices) to something like snail soup.

Visitors are also advised to take a cruise through Ha Long Bay, where globetrotters can see jaw-dropping limestone sceneries and take fairytale-like pictures of the Gulf of Tonkin.

The country is also an action-packed destination where visitors can trek around Sapa to explore the vast golden rice fields, spend time beach bumming or try out the scooter experience.

Vietnam’s rising star in the global tourism firmament over the last decade has been affirmed by its consistent ranking in global top lists by big-name travel and other publications like The Guardian, CNN, Lonely Planet, TripAdvisor, and Rough Guides.

In the first nine months of this year the number of foreign visitors to Vietnam surged by 22.9 percent year-on-year to a record 11.6 million, according to the General Statistics Office.

Last year it received 12.8 million visitors.
