Saigon Street Food and Sightseeing By Scooter

My greatest joy that I can show you is the best local food spots in Saigon. I want to take you to the most popular street stalls and hidden alleyways in the city and show you where the locals love to eat. It focuses on street food dishes that most people outside of Vietnam have never had a chance to experience. I will give you a menu of 8 mouth-watering dishes in 6 different food locations. If there is anything not on the menu that you would like to try, I am happy to accommodate this to satisfy you. I will see the process of making food in every spot and you can even practice right away with street vendor chefs. My main goal of this tour to connect you with Saigon via local street food. This tour is suitable for anyone on a budget, a large appetite, and a small time frame. Therefore, don't skeptical to join us in this One Of A Kind this experience.
See you soon :)

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

1: Bo Lat Lot - (the beef wrapped in betel leaf)
These little grilled beef parcels are a strong contender for our favorite dish in the whole of Vietnam. They’re simply beef with garlic and shallots wrapped in betel leaf and grilled on a stick over charcoal. They may not look like much but they are so delicious it’s difficult to put into words. Typically they are served with Vietnamese rice paper, vermicelli noodles, and greens and are to be dipped in fish sauce.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

2: Bánh Khot ( a little crispy pancake)
Sometimes found in the same restaurants (and stalls) as Bánh xèo, Bánh Khot are very small pancakes made from the same ingredients as Bánh xèo – rice flour, water and turmeric with the addition of coconut milk. Topped with shrimp, onions and more coconut milk, they are bitesize, delicious and once again, served with greens and a spicy fish sauce.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

3: Banh trang nuong (Vietnamese ‘street pizza’)
Originally from the beautiful countryside city of Dalat (one of our favorite places in the country), banh trang nuong, or ‘Vietnamese pizza’ is essentially thick rice paper grilled with varied toppings often including eggs, dried shrimp, pork, herbs, and spices. Found all over the city, this cheap and tasty snack is a perfect light snack or as part of a food tour.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

4: Nước Mía (sugar cane juice)
While this is not really a ‘dish’, it is still absolutely worth a mention here. Sugar cane juice is found all over South East Asia, but we have come across it the most frequently in Vietnam. Often created right in front of your eyes, the juice is created by crushing sugar cane stalks either by hand or mechanically. The delicious drink is served cold, fresh and with added Kumquat juice for a flash of citrus that makes the perfect drink for a hot day.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

5: Banh Canh Ghe ( Crab noodle soup)
Most of the tourists will try "Pho" when they travel to Saigon. Otherwise, have you ever tried the "Banh Canh Ghe"?. The rice noodle of this dish is made from Wheat Flour which is very chewy and thicky, the broth is so delicious you can taste the coconut milk which is very aromatic. Instead of using the bowl, they will put everything in the clay pot to keep it still warm until you finish the meal. There is also a giant crab on the top like the picture below.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

6: Bánh xèo ( Giant crispy pancake)
Bánh xèo quite literally means ‘sizzling pancake’ and is made from rice flour, water, and turmeric. They come filled with a variety of different meats and even shrimp in addition to mung beans and beansprouts. Once again it is eaten with mixed green leaves and herbs, wrapped in rice paper and dipped in a fish sauce usually served with little chunks of chili and garlic. It is really quite delicious and can be found for incredibly cheap across the city.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

7: Seafood & local beers
We have some seafood dishes which are scallops, clams, and grilled prawns. You might eat these dishes before somewhere but I am quite sure that you will never taste the same. Because of the atmosphere, the vibe in the street, the way they cook as well as different sauces combined together to create the amazing seafood street.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

8: Egg Coffe or Coconut Ice Cream.
Have you ever heard the story of Egg Coffee? Back in 1946, that's exactly how Vietnamese egg coffee was introduced to the world. During the French War, there was a serious shortage of milk in Hanoi, so people came up with an idea to use the egg york as a substitute. Joining us on this unique experience as you are in Saigon.
