This evening get set for a culinary adventure in the heart of Saigon, where the locals go to eat. Meet your guide at your hotel and be transferred to the corner of Nguyen Dinh Chieu alley, well known for its abundance of street food. From here, start your leisurely walk and observe these small pop up restaurants, a nightly feature that all but disappear during the day.

Snack on a scrumptious banh xeo, a savoury crepe, fresh spring rolls and some seafood. Finish things off with a taste of one of the city’s most popular dishes, broken rice. In the past, it was the rejected rice grains that made up this ‘poor man’s rice dish’ however it is now enjoyed by many!
