The experience
The jeep is open to the air, so the city arrives all at once: motorbikes weaving through the streets after working hours, and a thousand lights as you cross the central districts. The first stop is broken rice, soft grains under grilled pork, egg and pickled vegetables, with a sweet-savory fish sauce spooned over. Your guide tells you how the dish became so popular in Vietnam while you eat.
Next come bánh xèo and bánh khọt, golden, fragrant pancakes and small cupcakes filled with shrimp, pork and bean sprouts, with a big plate of herbs alongside. A local chef with over 20 years of experience shows you how they are made. Then you hop back on the jeep for a beef stew with Vietnamese bread at a local restaurant in District 10 that has served it since 1975.
After the food, you wander small alleys and hidden corners and pass the largest wholesale flower market in the city. At Cambodia Market, a favorite of younger Saigonese, you unwind with Vietnamese pizza and a scoop of coconut or avocado ice cream. Last, the jeep crosses the Thu Thiem tunnel and the Ba Son bridge into District 2, ending at a rooftop bar beside the river, where a cocktail sits in front of a spectacular view of Landmark 81, the highest building in sight.
