What to expect:
Experience Ho Chi Minh City at night and taste the best street food. Meet your local guides in the evening and join thousands of other motorbikes as you ride through the colorful city streets. Explore notable neighborhoods, including district 3 where the locals live and learn all about Ho Chi Minh City.
Stop to enjoy some "Bánh Xèo" and "Bánh Khọt" (South and Central rice pancakes), and learn how they are made from a chef with over 20 years experience. Climb up to the top of old buildings and see the contrasting architecture between the modern and the traditional. You can even visit a local pagoda which was built inside an old apartment by a female monk.
Explore the biggest night flower market and street food paradise then soak up the wonderful bouquets. Take a short walk around the area and immerse yourself into the flow of Vietnamese cuisine dating back thousand of years and get a special gift from your guide. Go deep into a true maze of local market to taste an authentic food which is Banana Girdle Cake and "Bánh Tráng Nướng" Vietnamese Pizza grilled on charcoal fire.
Next, drive to the heart of District 10 and stop at a local 2nd-generation restaurant since 1975 to savor the best Vietnamese Beef Stew "Bò Kho" in the clay pot. Bò Kho is packed with tender, fall-apart braised chunks of beef loaded with herbs, aromatics and a delicious broth that go perfectly with Vietnamese baguette!
Venture into district 5, where the city’s street food scene really thrives. Reward your taste buds with a heavenly dish of coconut ice cream at local shop. Watch as the owner prepares some coconut ice cream right before your eyes. Take a spin around the city for enticing views of the night life, and experience the hustle and bustle of fashion street. Squeeze through narrow alleyways that cars can’t access, and journey along the banks of the Saigon River with a welcoming breeze.
End your motorbike street food experience in district 4, where you will enjoy a seafood meal of 3 different dishes (if you are allergic to seafood, it will be replaced by BBQ meat). Tuck into a nice dessert of flan cake with caramel, coffee and coconut milk. Wash it all down with local beer or soft drinks, mineral water and especially homemade Forest Banana Sticky Rice Wine which is brewed in the clay pot by Street Food Man Vinny. Banana was picked from huge banana trees in the depth of giant forest in the North West of Vietnam. Rice wine was distilled in the most traditional way in Vinny's village where is far away from the city.
