Firstly, We start at Chuoi nep nuong Vo Van Tan, Located in District 3, one of the city’s most unique districts, this vendor occupies a small street corner where a local family has been preparing a mixed Vietnamese-Cambodian dish called “Chuoi Nep Nuong” or “Banana Grilled with Sticky Rice” for over four decades. Next, We'll walk into the heart of district 3 and explore the old apartments has the name Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings Area which is home to dozens of famous Vietnamese street food that will tempt your stomach. This is where you’ll have original Bun Bo Hue, a unique recipe that takes approximately 8-10 hours to craft a rich broth combined with beef slices, pork sausage, and vibrant onion and spicy coriander. This food-stop is owned by a local with over 25 years experience from Hue (central Vietnam) Then, stroll along a street known for its barbecue seafood vendors and head to a local-favorite restaurant to taste the best “Bò Lá Lốt” (Beef in Wild Betel Leaves)
A street food paradise is here, You will watch ‘Bánh Xèo” and “Bánh Khọt” being made in front of you– Originating from the Mekong Delta in the western part of Vietnam, “Banh Xeo” derives its name from the sizzling sound it makes when cooked on a hot pan.

We booked this motorbike food tour during our honeymoon, and it was one of the best nights of our trip. Riding through the Saigon traffic on the back of the bikes was so much fun, and we felt safe the entire time. Kay and Ryan were fantastic drivers and just genuinely great people to hang out with. They took us to some amazing local spots that we never would have found on our own, and every single dish was incredible. If you're in Ho Chi Minh City, definitely book this tour and ask for Kay and Ryan. Thanks guys for an unforgettable evening!
