This was probably the happiest trip and most memorable when we visited Asia. At first, I was quite skeptical about whether my family and I could eat Ho Chi Minh City's food. But I was so satisfied that the next day we booked a tour to join the local night food tour by scooters the next day!
I found it on Tripadvisor and read a lot of good comments about Local night food tours by scooters, so I contacted them via WhatsApp's phone number. The tour guide I knew by name was Dzung, sorry I'm not fluent in Vietnamese. He welcomed us enthusiastically at the hotel and began the journey to discover Ho Chi Minh City's cuisine.
My sincere advice when participating in a food tour in Ho Chi Minh City is to have an empty stomach because there are many delicious dishes waiting to be enjoyed. We started with a dish called grilled meat vermicelli. The smell of meat was very fragrant and my tour guide took me to a famous local grilled meat noodle shop. The second dish is a Vietnamese pancake with a crispy outer layer. I find this dish quite similar to crepe but the filling is made from shrimp and meat. This is also the first time I have eaten fish sauce with this dish, it really doesn't feel bad. There are quite a few dishes that I can't remember the names of but I will definitely visit Vietnam again to enjoy more dishes in other cities. In addition to eating and drinking, we also experienced the trip like a true local and also visited the long-standing flower market in Ho Chi Minh City.
Some food that I have eaten:
I highly appreciated this trip, so the next day, we contacted them again to experience the local night walking food tour. The service here is great, the tour guide is friendly and enthusiastic, and my family really enjoy the trip while we staying here.
