Well, you'll probably need tips on how to shop like a local when visiting the market here.
In contrast to the market, whatever you wish to buy is offered for sale at the right market price when you walk into a small shop that was launched from a local home. This is the neighborhood family-run grocery shop, where everything is priced fairly and there are no bargains like in the market. This is also the place where the childhood of most Vietnamese people was born, from childhood toys or food.
Be a Saigonese for half a day
From now on, you will be experiencing real local life, with street vendors roaming, bikers riding just next to you, and an open-space living room at a very up-close distance. You also can catch a closer sight of how urban people live, how they make their lives with small businesses at home and get lost in the endless maze of small alleys and dead-ends. Expect to see beauty salons, coffee shops, grocery stores, or family living scenes as you pass by houses along the roads.
Sample specific & mouthwatering street foods
Tasting street foods is the most wonderful and authentic way to “sample” the cultural beauty of a country. And at these Saigon hidden alleys, you will find a variety of delicious street cuisines in front of you.
When it comes to Vietnamese street food, it is definitely impossible to ignore grilled rice paper and mixed rice paper, a dish very familiar to young Vietnamese. Rice paper, made from white rice, is a tasty speciality that you should try right away if you get the chance. It is paired with eggs, pork, sausages, scallions, and other flavors. Of course, you can find it on the Saigon walking tour with us.
