ASCON LIVING
English
Street food in Saigon
Eating in Ho Chi Minh City often means a short stop at a stall or a small restaurant, then back to the house when you want a quieter meal.
What people eat
Phở and bánh mì are everyday dishes, and coffee is part of the day for many people. Ben Thanh Market, in the city centre, has food stalls under a roof. Near the house there are restaurants and street food. The free ASCON guide app keeps a food list, including places near the house.
Practical notes
- Choose places that are busy.
- Drink bottled or filtered water.
- The house kitchen has a stove, a rice cooker, a fridge of about 540 litres and a dining table if you want breakfast or a meal at home.
- The guide app opens in your phone browser and needs nothing to install.
