    After an exhilarating scooter ride through Saigon’s lively streets, we’ll make our first stop at a charming local restaurant in District 3. Here, you’ll savor Bún Bò Huế, a flavorful Vietnamese beef noodle soup known for its rich broth, fragrant lemongrass, and distinctive spicy kick. Unlike the more widely known Phở, this Central Vietnamese specialty offers a bold and unforgettable taste of Vietnam’s diverse culinary heritage.

    This beloved Central Vietnamese noodle soup is crafted with a fragrant broth infused with lemongrass, beef bones, pineapple, and fermented shrimp paste, creating a delicious blend of savory richness, gentle sweetness, and spicy warmth. Each bowl is generously topped with flavorful crab sausage, tender beef brisket, fresh spring onions, and thinly sliced onions. Every spoonful delivers a harmonious mix of bold aromas and authentic Vietnamese flavors, making it a delightful introduction to the country’s diverse culinary traditions.
  3. Ho Thi Ky Flower Market
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    Next, we’ll enjoy a leisurely walk through one of Saigon’s most lively flower markets, where vibrant blooms, colorful stalls, and enticing aromas create a truly local atmosphere. Here, you’ll sample Vietnamese fresh spring rolls, made with delicate rice paper, succulent shrimp, tender pork, and crunchy fresh herbs and vegetables, all paired with a creamy, savory peanut dipping sauce.

    For another delicious treat, try grilled oysters with black pepper sauce, freshly prepared with a smoky aroma and a satisfying peppery kick. Depending on the food stalls available, you may also get to enjoy baked eggs in small cups, topped with your choice of tasty ingredients.

    Please note: Food selections may vary depending on seasonal availability and the local vendors operating on the day of your tour.

    Bánh Xèo – Vietnamese Crispy Sizzling Pancake

    Bánh Xèo is a beloved Vietnamese street food named after the sizzling sound the rice flour batter makes when it hits a hot pan. This golden, crispy pancake is made with turmeric-infused rice flour batter and typically filled with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, and sometimes mung beans. Cut into pieces, wrap it in fresh lettuce and aromatic herbs, then dip it into traditional Vietnamese fish sauce for a delicious combination of crunch, freshness, and savory flavors.

    Bánh Khọt – Mini Vietnamese Savory Pancakes

    Bánh Khọt are small, round, crispy pancakes popular in southern Vietnam, especially in the coastal city of Vũng Tàu. Made from rice flour batter and cooked in special small molds, they usually feature a juicy shrimp on top, with a golden, crunchy crust and a soft, slightly creamy center.
