🔥 Phá Lấu – the legendary street food of Saigon! 🥖🍲 Beef offal slow-cooked till tender in creamy coconut milk, soaked with the aroma of five-spice. Every bite is soft, juicy, and packed with bold flavors. Pair it with crispy baguette or hot instant noodles for the perfect combo. It’s street food but feels so gourmet at heart. Affordable, flavorful, and totally addictive. Saigon streets just wouldn’t be the same without Phá Lấu. One bowl is enough to turn a rainy day into pure comfort.

Lotte Mart Lê Đại Hành is not just for shopping – the foodcourt here is a total foodie heaven! 🍜🍔 From Vietnamese comfort food to Korean bites and even some Western snacks, everything looks super tasty, Insta-worthy, and the best part? It’s really affordable. Perfect spot to hang out, eat good, and chill right in the heart of Saigon. ✨

Crab Tapioca Noodles (Bánh Canh Cua) in Saigon is seriously a must-try! Especially at Thu Vân on Tạ Quang Bửu, District 8 – you get a huge bowl full of toppings for just 40k VND (~$1.5). Such a steal!

The broth is thick, glossy, super fragrant with crab, and has that eye-catching reddish-orange color (yep, that’s from annatto oil mixed with crab roe). It’s rich, flavorful, and so comforting.

The noodles? Soft, chewy, soaking up all that savory goodness. And the toppings are insane: fresh sweet crab meat, chunks of ghẹ (swimming crab), slices of juicy BBQ pork, quail eggs, pork leg, lean pork… all packed in one bowl.

What makes it fun is the extras – silky pork blood cubes, and especially the quẩy (Chinese fried dough sticks). You get both crunchy quẩy (super crispy bite) and soft quẩy (soaked in broth, chewy and flavorful). Some bowls even come with straw mushrooms for that extra umami kick.

Top it all off with scallions, black pepper, maybe a slice of chili, and boom – you’ve got a colorful masterpiece: green, red, white, brown, pink all in one bowl.

And all of this? Just 40k. Full topping. No joke. A bowl at Thu Vân is not just filling, it’s pure happiness in Saigon style 🦀✨

🌸 “Unusual Look, Unforgettable Bite – Sushi That Fills You Up!” 🤩🥳😝

This sushi stands out with its unique outer layer of savory fish cake. On top, it’s dressed in a colorful mix of green peas, sweet corn, and juicy diced mango. Each bite blends the natural sweetness of corn and mango with the tender richness of fish cake. Pickled pink ginger on the side refreshes the palate, balancing the flavors perfectly. Not only delicious, but this sushi also leaves you satisfyingly full, making it truly unforgettable.

🌸 “Marukame Udon – A Bowl of Japanese Noodles, Customized Your Way!” 🌸

At Marukame Udon, the broth instantly captivates—light yet deeply flavorful, made from premium Japanese anchovies. The udon noodles are smooth, springy, and perfectly chewy. What I love most is the freedom to mix and match toppings my way. From crispy vegetable tempura to savory fish cakes with green peas, every choice adds its own charm. Seaweed, sesame, scallions, cilantro, and chili bring color and freshness. Each bowl becomes a delicious, nourishing creation that leaves me full yet light. And with the staff’s warmth and enthusiasm, it’s a place I’ll always want to return to.

BigC/GO! Sesame Roast Chicken – One Bite, Forever Remembered!

The sesame roast chicken at BigC/GO! is truly a dish worth trying. The chicken meat is firm, juicy, and crispy, never mushy. Its glossy sesame sauce coats every piece, striking the perfect balance of savory and sweet, soaking deep into the meat while the toasted sesame adds a nutty aroma that lingers. The sauce is plentiful yet light, shiny but not greasy, delivering a bold, full-bodied flavor in every bite. One portion comes at a very reasonable price, enough for two people to enjoy a hearty meal that’s both economical and satisfying. This is the kind of flavor you’ll remember long after the very first taste.

Country life on the outskirts of the city is just like this: making the most of whatever ingredients you have to create a brand-new, delicious dish. This one is a fusion born from four spontaneous ideas: the signature cabbage-filled okonomiyaki of Japan, the small round pancakes of Central Vietnam, the rich, crispy, coconut- and turmeric-scented flavors of Mekong-style bánh xèo, and the crunchy fried beans—like mung beans and black beans—found in Sóc Trăng’s bánh cóng. Add to that the playful use of traditional spices and vegetables such as purple onion, corn, and tomatoes, combined in a creative way reminiscent of Mexican tacos. Altogether, it becomes a dish bursting with flavors, making for an unforgettable dinner. Tasty and inventive, turning simple joy into something refined and lasting.

7-Level Spicy Noodles – not just a dish, but a fiery challenge. In a steaming hot pot, chewy noodles soak up a blazing red broth so spicy that just one breath makes your tongue tingle. Toppings come in all kinds: crunchy purple cabbage, fish balls and sausages, tender beef slices, fresh seafood, or rich, flavorful fish. Each bowl is a different combination, but there’s one thing they all share… extreme spiciness. You eat while blowing on every bite, fighting both the heat and the spice – it burns your stomach, sets your whole body on fire, hurts and excites at the same time. This isn’t something to eat too often, but it’s definitely worth trying at least once in your life – to experience a true explosion of flavors. 🌶🔥

Bun Dau Mam Tom at Hem Dau – A Taste of Authentic Hanoi Right in Saigon 🥰

At Hem Dau, the signature bun dau mam tom always impresses diners with its generous portions and authentic Northern flavor. The platter includes fresh vermicelli noodles cut into bite-sized squares, crispy fried tofu with a soft inside, thinly sliced boiled pork, and grilled pork sausage with cartilage. To make it even more delightful, there’s a wide variety of sides such as fried fermented pork (nem chua ran), crispy shrimp rolls (cha ram tom dat), green rice patties (cha com), crab cakes (cha cua), and shrimp cakes (cha tom). The highlight is, of course, the bowl of fermented shrimp paste (mam tom) – rich, savory, and perfectly balanced when mixed with lime juice and chili. Served with fresh herbs like Vietnamese balm, fish mint, and assorted greens, plus refreshing cucumber slices, the combination brings out a harmony of flavors – salty, savory, crispy, and aromatic – making it a truly unforgettable dining experience.

Is it a street food or a salad alone? Find out with Jelly! 😎

Papaya salad in Southern Vietnam is a refreshing street food dish loved by locals and tourists alike. It is made from thinly shredded green papaya, giving a crisp and juicy texture. The salad is usually mixed with herbs, roasted peanuts, and crispy prawn crackers. A sweet, sour, and slightly spicy fish sauce dressing ties all the flavors together. Sometimes, it is served with dried beef or seafood for extra richness. This vibrant salad reflects the balance of flavors that defines Southern Vietnamese cuisine.

Phan Rang bánh căn is a famous rustic dish from Ninh Thuận province, usually baked in small clay molds to create lovely round cakes.

Singapore Frog Porridge – Signature Dish and Best Places to Eat in Saigon. Where to try.., ? 🇻🇳

Singapore frog porridge is a famous dish that combines tender frog legs with flavorful clay pot sauce and smooth white porridge. The frog is usually cooked with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a touch of chili, creating a rich and aromatic flavor. The porridge is plain but creamy, serving as the perfect base to balance the strong taste of the clay pot frog. Diners can either pour the sauce over the porridge or eat them separately, depending on their preference. This dish is not only delicious but also comforting, especially on rainy nights.
