Sample Vietnamese cuisne in Ho Chi Minh City with this evening culinary tour!
You'll meet your guide at the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts in the early evening, and start your tour by sampling local dishes such as chao muc (squid rice porridge) and xa xiu (Cantonese-style barbecued pork). You'll also learn how Chinese food has been integrated into Vietnamese cuisine.
You'll continue your tour at the intersection of Nguyen Cong Tru and Calmette streets where you'll try a unique dish called bo banh tieu, a kind of sesame fritter. You'll also learn more about Calmette and Yersin, two of Pasteur's students who helped establish a health system in Vietnam.
On the way to your next stop, you'll pass an old Chinese "community" house that pays tribute to Chinese immigration to Ho Chi Minh City. Then you'll enjoy a local-style Vietnamese coffee and discover another famous Vietnamese street-food dish, bo cuon mo chai (grilled beef dumplings).
Your culinary tour will end at a street beer stall, where you can enjoy a local beer with Vietnamese snacks. The perfect way to mingle with the locals!
