Private Ho Chi Minh City Food Tour

A food tour provides a unique cultural experience, as you’ll learn about the history, traditions, and stories behind each dish. It’s a chance to immerse yourself in the vibrant culinary scene of the city and discover new flavors that will leave a lasting impression.

After the first day of exploring the sights and shopping of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Francine and her friends embarked on a journey with AN Tours Vietnam to explore the culinary of Saigon.

The tour started with “Bun thit nuong” – a popular dish that consists of grilled pork served over a bed of vermicelli noodles. The grilled pork is marinated in a flavorful mixture of fish sauce, garlic, sugar, and other spices, which gives it a delicious smoky and slightly sweet taste. The dish is typically garnished with fresh herbs like mint and cilantro, as well as pickled carrots and daikon radish for added texture and tanginess.
