Ho Chi Minh City

Your local student street food guide, who is passionate about Vietnamese street food, will pick you up at your hotel, apartment, or Airbnb by taxi. You will leave the tourist area behind and start your food adventure in a street food paradise. You will taste “Banh Xeo” and “Banh Khot”, which are rice pancakes from the Central and South of Vietnam, with lots of fresh Vietnamese vegetables. You will stroll along a street known for its barbecue seafood vendors. Then, you will head to a local-favorite restaurant to taste the best “bo la lot” (beef in wild betel leaves) and “Hue beef soup” (or Bun Thit nuong), which is an 8-hour slow-cooked soup from Hue. You will continue your immersion in mouth-watering food as you head to the alleys of food in the heart of the street food district. You will sample a tasty “Bo La Lot”, which is pan-grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves. It is cooked by a local chef with over 17 years of experience.
