After an exciting ride, your first stop takes you to a cozy local eatery in District 3, where you’ll savor a bowl of Bún bò Huế—a bold and flavorful dish that stands apart from the more familiar phở.

Your second stop in District 10 introduces you to Chuối nướng—a beloved Vietnamese street dessert known for its irresistible blend of sweet and savory flavors.

Each bite bursts with flavor, especially when wrapped in fresh greens and dipped into a rich, tangy fish sauce. Served with mustard greens, lettuce, Thai basil, purple mint, ambarella leaves, and more — it’s a perfect harmony of textures and tastes. You’ll also get to try BBQ beef wrapped in betel leaves, a smoky and aromatic favorite served with vermicelli, rice paper, green banana, star fruit, and a sweet pineapple fish sauce that ties it all together.
We’ll take a short stroll to the largest and most vibrant flower market in Saigon, where colors and fragrances fill the air.
