Why take this tour?
When you book our Secret Food Tour: Saigon you'll taste succulent local dishes from traditional soups, the signature Ho Chi Minh City sandwich, to Com Tam, an old Vietnamese farmers dish, literally “broken rice".
We’ll kick off your adventure at one of Saigon’s most iconic street food markets. Here, you’ll dive into the art of making Bánh Xèo Xin Chào - crispy Vietnamese pancakes filled with beef, fresh herbs, and delicate rice paper. Not only will you savor them, but you’ll also master the technique of Rolling them like a local!
Next, it’s time to embrace southern vietnamese flavors with a rare and unique treat: Hairy Ark Clams, prepared Ho Chi Minh City-style with a very generous dash of Black Pepper.
Pull up a tiny stool, as the locals do, and join us at a friendly street vendor for a bite of the legendary Bánh Mì—Vietnam’s beloved sandwich. To wash it down, we’ll sample three refreshing herbal juices, each packed with health benefits and bursting with local flavors.
Before diving deeper into the culinary wonders, take a moment to admire the elegant Notre-Dame Cathedral, wander through the lively Book Street, and be captivated by the dreamlike architecture of the Central Post Office.
Vietnam’s cocoa trees, paired with French culinary finesse, mean one thing: chocolate indulgence is a must.
And after a bit of a walk, for something heartier, we’ll try a nourishing soup made with beef, tendons, and coconut milk - a truly unforgettable dish.
As we stroll down one of Saigon’s coolest pedestrian streets, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, we’ll stop to savor Cơm Tấm, the traditional broken rice dish served with succulent pork.
No food tour in Ho Chi Minh City would be complete without coffee.
Our journey ends on a high note with salted coffee, a delightful twist on a classic brew, served in one of the city’s most fascinating and vibrant spots.
As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.
