The experience
The evening opens with a short talk from your guides about the route and how you will hop on and off the scooters. Then you ride into the city, through alleys that come alive after dark, with the lights of the streets around you. Your first bite is bún thịt nướng, rice vermicelli with grilled pork, fresh herbs and spring rolls, dressed in fish sauce, a dish that ranks at the top of the food in the south.
Next, a local chef with more than 20 years of experience shows you how bánh xèo and bánh khọt are made, crispy pancakes and little cupcakes served with a pile of herbs. Further on, a grilled banana with coconut milk and sesame seeds makes a sweet pause, and a cup of fresh peach tea cools you down at Cambodia Market, popular with the young generation.
Later you ride to District 10 for beef stew with Vietnamese bread at a restaurant founded in 1975, then through District 4 to see the nightlife and a view of the city. The night ends on Vĩnh Khánh seafood street, with clams steamed with tom yum soup and barbecued mussels topped with green onion and peanuts, washed down with a cold local beer or a soft drink.
