Traditional Sweet Dishes
Che
Che vendors in Ho Chi Minh City layer colorful beans, jellies, and fruits so the dessert looks like an edible mosaic, and street cups are as much a visual treat as a sweet one.
Banh flan
Banh flan arrived with the French but Vietnamese cooks brighten it with sweetened condensed milk and sometimes a dusting of instant coffee, creating a silky, deeply sweet custard enjoyed across the city.
Banh chuoi
Banh chuoi is often steamed or baked in banana leaves, which gives the cake a warm, caramelized banana aroma and a sticky, comforting texture that makes it a beloved snack.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Pho
Pho in Ho Chi Minh City is eaten at any hour, not just breakfast, and vendors simmer bones for hours until the broth becomes intensely fragrant, drawing crowds day and night.
Banh mi
Banh mi marries a crisp French baguette with pickled vegetables, cilantro, chilies, and savory fillings like pate or grilled pork, turning colonial ingredients into Vietnam's iconic street sandwich.
Com tam
Com tam was born from broken rice once considered inferior, and today it is Saigon's working-class comfort dish, piled with grilled pork, a fried egg, pickles, and fish sauce.
Traditional Beverages
Ca phe sua da
Ca phe sua da is made with strong Robusta brewed through a small phin filter, then sweetened with condensed milk and poured over ice, creating a potent, creamy pick-me-up for busy city life.
Tra da
Tra da is simple iced green tea served widely in Saigon, often complimentary at eateries, and locals use it as a refreshing, slightly bitter palate cleanser between rich or spicy bites.
Sugarcane juice
Fresh sugarcane juice is pressed at street stalls, sometimes brightened with lime or kumquat, and watching vendors feed long stalks into the rollers is part of the sugary, theatrical experience.

Visited in July, daily downpours made walking a slog, the War Remnants Museum was heavy but worth a visit if you like history.
Use Grab for rides, always set the exact pickup point on a main road and check the driver plate, it saves time and avoids confusion.
Way more scooters than I expected, crossing felt scary at first, locals are friendly and the coffee culture is a highlight.
Withdraw larger sums to avoid ATM fees, split cash into small bills for markets and carry exact change for motorbike taxis.
Eat at market food stalls around lunchtime, walk two blocks off the main market to find the same dishes for half the price.
Getting there
Train stations
Reunification Express (Hanoi–Saigon); regional southern services
