First stop: We will visit a coconut juice stall to enjoy a refreshing coconut juice infused with pineapple or tangy kumquat jam as we get to know the other guests and tour guides.
Then we head to the 2nd stop to try papaya salad, originally offered in our tour since 2018. It includes long strands of thinly cut green papaya, roasted peanuts, black beef jerky, a wonderful addition of sliced Vietnamese coriander, and finally a handful of extra crispy fritters and fried shrimp crackers on the very top. *fresh, yummy, and must-try

*sometimes, the owner doesn’t allow many bikes at the same time due to traffic, so we may buy it and bring it to the 4th stop
Nothing beats Saigon Bo Kho (our 4sth stop): Southern-style beef stew with glass noodles, slow-cooked with whole shallots (naturally sweet), carrots, and herbs in a rich, flavorful broth *loved by Mark Wiens (exclusively offered on this tour)
Ho Thi Ky is the largest wholesale flower market, located in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, supplying flowers to the city and some provinces in the south of Vietnam.
At this market, we will try Khmer-style grilled beef, Vietnamese pizza, and Saigon beer. We learn how to cheer like a Vietnamese
Also, would you ever guess which Bánh Mì locals eat every day? Yes, we will show you the authentic one (not Huynh Hoa or any expensive version) after visiting this market.
As we mentioned, there will be a lot of food to come on this tour, so we hope you still have some room for Bánh Xèo in Chinatown, which is 3 km away from Ho Thi Ky Market (District 10).
Bánh Xèo is a savory Vietnamese crepe, bright yellow and crispy, filled with shrimp, pork, and vegetables, and served with sweet chili sauce and pickled sweet sauce for dipping.
Afterward, we will visit an old apartment in District 10 for Chè, a traditional Vietnamese sweet soup, or creamy flan.
