Description

You will be picked up from your hotel by a Travelmates guide around 6 pm and start off with a short  ride to the street food paradise. Your first stop is at Ban Co market area where you will taste some Banh Xeo and Banh Khot - a Vietnamese pancake served with many herbs and vegetables.  

Proceed to a seafood dinner with plenty of choices of snails, shrimps, crabs, etc. at a local authentic bistro of snails & seafood. There, you will be served the most popular street foods of Saigonese and enjoy a bottle of local beer the way that the locals do. You might also be challenged to eat some local food that you have never thought of for a good fun time.

After finishing your dish, take a walk through the old condominium, where you can see locals selling their home-cooked food. 

Your next stop is at a night flower market, where you will see tons of flowers from different regions of Vietnam. Here you will have a chance to have your third dish with Vietnamese pancakes. The taste of crunchy pancakes served with rice paper and vegetables in the bustling market environment will fill up your stomach in a delicious way.

Travel to the other side of the market for the last but certainly not the least interesting stop of sweet dessert. The last stop will blow your mind with hundreds of deserts, from pumpkin flans, coconut puddings, ice-creams and much more. You will be free to choose anything you may want to try. If you are curious about the taste and smell of durian, this is also a perfect chance for you to try it. It is worth the effort.

Around 9 pm, you will be transferred back to your hotel where the tour ends.
