Food

Ho Chi Minh city is one of "Top Ten Best Street Food Cities". Vietnamese

cuisine has received some major street cred in recent memory (Anthony

Bourdain's praise comes to mind), and a quick visit to Ho Chi Minh City's

Ben Thanh or Binh Tay Markets explains why.

The street food in Saigon embraces a mix of cultures, primarily the city's

French colonial background with Vietnamese spices and ingredients.

However, since hawker registration and street food health standards

aren't as stringent in Vietnam, travellers should be careful to always

choose popular, crowded stalls with high turnover.
