The experience
Hold tight, because the ride is part of the fun. Your scooter weaves through four districts toward food stalls and hidden corners you would never find on your own. The first bowl is Hu Tieu Nam Vang, a noodle soup in the Phnom Penh style with pork, shrimp and quail eggs, and the cooks make it right in front of you. Next comes banh xeo, a Vietnamese pancake with grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf. You wrap, roll and dip it yourself, just like a local.
The route then takes you into an old apartment in District 3, the oldest one, a look at the alley life that hides behind Saigon's streets. Coffee comes at Communism House, a retro café where a mini Cu Chi tunnel experience gives you a small taste of underground history.
Sugar cane juice is waiting in the Hồ Thị Kỷ flower market, Saigon's biggest flower and street food market, where you walk through the crowd with a cold cup in hand. The finish is sweet: Vietnamese flan or shaved ice, local desserts in many flavors.
