Pho bo - Beef noodles soup
To start the journey, we'll take you to a local restaurant in District 1, where you can have Pho bo - Vietnam’s iconic beef noodle soup that has captured the hearts of food lovers around the globe.
While you might have tried Pho back home, tasting an authentic Saigonese style bowl right on the sidewalk is an absolute game - changer! Compared to its subtle, delicate Northern cousin, Saigon's Pho Bo is famously bold, slightly sweet, and packed with an explosion of fresh herbs.
Broth Ingredients: Charred ginger & shallots, toasted cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, roasted coriander seeds, simmered slowly with beef marrow bones.
Other Ingredients: Tender beef brisket, rare beef slices, chewy beef meatballs, topped with green onions, fresh basil, saw-tooth herb, crunchy bean sprouts, and a swirl of house-made hoisin and hot chili sauce.

Chuoi nep nuong - a world-renowned street food star you can't miss in Saigon!
This mouthwatering treat features warm grilled banana wrapped in crispy sticky rice, generously topped with velvety coconut milk sauce and crunchy sesame seeds. Sweet, smoky, and irresistibly creamy - it’s easy to see why foodies worldwide fell in love with it!
Ingredients: Sweet bananas, sticky rice, rich coconut sauce, tapioca, toasted sesame seeds.
Vintage Apartments
Uncover the raw, authentic pulse of Saigon!
Escape the city shine and get lost in the maze-like corridors of the vintage apartments. From sizzling street-food markets below to retro architecture above, this is where time stands still. This is also a cardio excercise to digest your previous meal!
Flower Market
Next, step into a sensory paradise: a vibrant, aromatic flower market and a bustling Cambodian quarter. Immerse yourself in the rich local culture and feast on an irresistible array of authentic street eats!
Banh phong - Handcrafted crispy wafers
A beloved local delicacy made from cloud-like whipped egg whites, delicately crisp and flavored with your choice of aromatic sesame, warm ginger, or sweet banana.

Ice-cold sugarcane juice infused with a splash of fresh kumquat.
Naturally sweet, delightfully citrusy, and hands-down the most popular thirst-quencher in Ho Chi Minh City!

Fresh Summer Rolls with Peanut Sauce
A refreshing bite of juicy shrimp, pork, fresh herbs, and lettuce wrapped in soft rice paper — served with rich, creamy peanut sauce.
Banh flan or Che - Flan cake or Sweet soup
Must-try local desserts: silky caramel flan or rich Vietnamese sweet soup - two iconic sweet treats of the city!
Banh mi - Vietnamese baguette
Saigon’s Signature Bánh Mì - Vietnam’s #1 world-famous street food.
A crispy, airy baguette packed with savory pork cold cuts, rich savory pate, creamy egg mayonnaise, crunchy pickled daikon & carrots, fresh cucumber, cilantro, and a touch of fresh chili. Yummy!!!
