Ready to eat your way through the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. Experience the soul of Saigon through its world-famous food on an evening food tasting tour alongside a local guide. Visit places favoured by locals and enjoy the most iconic (and delicious) southern Vietnamese street food dishes. Explore markets and street stalls and see the city come to life as the sun goes down.
Your small group Saigon food tour starts with some authentic local starters such as Hu Tieu Bo Kho (Beef stew with noodles) and xa xiu (Cantonese barbecued pork), while your guide fills you in on how Chinese food has been integrated into Vietnamese cuisine.
Since it wouldn’t be a true local experience without enjoying coffee the way locals do, the next stop is a popular local spot for excellent Saigonese coffee.
Next up on our Saigon food adventure is another one of the city’s iconic street food dishes: bo cuon mo chai (barbecued beef meatballs). These dishes are some of the most popular and preferred dishes by southerners, and you can find them everywhere, from street stalls to fancy restaurants. What makes them so beloved is that the ingredients are so strikingly simple, yet the tastes and flavours are truly unforgettable (we promise).
We’ll cap off our Saigon street food 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. This is a great chance to mingle with locals – not a bad way to end the evening is it! But our culinary journey requires a final, sweet note. We will make one last stop at a famed local stall specialising in flan cake (also called crème caramel). This isn't just one dessert—it’s an entire universe of vibrant flavours! It’s the ultimate cooling and comforting finale to our Saigon food adventure.
We’ve reached the end, but your local guide is happy to provide tips for exploring the area further or assist you in getting a taxi back to your accommodation.
