About
Korte feiten: Step inside and your nose fills with sizzling street-food aromas and the sharp tang of tropical fruit, while stalls overflow with vivid silks and handcrafted lanterns. Narrow aisles hide unexpected bargains, with locals still arriving early to snag the freshest seafood and haggling that can shave prices by up to half.
Hoogtepunten: Walk under the low corrugated roof and you'll find vendors who still weigh produce on brass scales that clang as sellers call prices in a sing-song cadence, the air thick with the sweet-sour perfume of pickled papaya and the smoky salt of grilled squid. At midday a narrow stairwell becomes a ritual queue where five grandmother-run stalls ladle steaming bowls of bún riêu and bánh bèo, their savory broth and shrimp paste pulling in office workers and regulars who chat like neighbors.
Insider tips
- Wear lightweight clothes and closed-toe shoes, aisles can be narrow and floors sometimes wet.
- Photograph the market arch and colorful stacked textiles for strong shots, avoid blocking aisles while shooting.
- Skip stalls with no prices or no local customers, busy vendors usually sell fresher food.
- Start haggling around 40-50% of the first price and carry small VND notes so vendors can give exact change.
