Experience an exciting adventure with a local chef to uncover the culinary secret of Saigon. Explore the vibrant metropolis on a motorbike and take breaks to engage with locals at market, slurp noodles at busy street stalls and witness the city’s rich gastronomic traditions.
Today’s tour begins at 08:30. Commence the secret Saigon street food tour early in the morning with a chef who will lead the way to some of the city’s most loved culinary corners. Climb on a motorbike and immerse in the local foodie culture at Cho Vuon Chuoi. The market, which translates to “Banana Garden Market”, is brimming with vendors who sell an array of items. Discover the various types of produce that are available, observe the exotic live seafood, and witness the locals bargaining for the freshest ingredients of the day. Pause to taste a few of the snacks offered at the market such as banh khot, a crispy Vietnamese pancake.
Climb back on the motorbike and zip through the backstreets to a flower market. From there, the gastronomic adventure continues with a plate of banh cuon nong. Enjoy the delicate flavours of this snack, which features rice noodles stuffed with minced pork, mushrooms and herbs, served alongside a tangy dipping sauce.
Next, pay a visit to a Cao Dai temple. After that, it’s time for the final, yet may just be the best stop. Savour a steaming bowl of Bun Bo Hue, a Hue-style beef noodle dish while learning the secrets behind its preparation.
With a newfound appreciation of the local cuisine, return to the hotel around midday where the tour ends. (L)
