These dishes are some of the most popular and preferred dishes by southerners, and you can find them everywhere, from street stalls to fancy restaurants. What makes them so beloved is that the ingredients are so strikingly simple, yet the tastes and flavours are truly unforgettable (we promise).

At this street beer stall we’ll outfit you with a cold Saigon beer with peanut and rice cracker and taste some deep fried tofu with lemongrass or salted egg yolk with green chili salted.

Loved this street food tour through Saigon with Nancy. Excellent English, so knowledgeable and extra compassionate to the young travellers on our tour who were out on their own for the first time and were a bit anxious. Food was amazing, absolutely a must do.
