Saigon, a city where you can taste Vietnam

Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City is a port city in Vietnam that demonstrates an active life and welcomes new travellers. To understand it and find out how tastes were formed in this place, you can immerse yourself in the study of its history, as well as try local dishes that best describe the mood of the city.

Saigon was heavily influenced by the colonial period when the French came here in the 19th century and, along with architecture and language, passed on their culinary preferences. What exactly is worth the attention of gourmets who will go to this city is reported by The Star.

It is noted that Saigon adapts perfectly and absorbs the experience of others to eventually create something of its own, tasty and unique. This is evidenced by the change in culinary identity after the war and the introduction of new ingredients by the Americans. The resilience of the Vietnamese allowed them to develop their own cuisine, which is why we can see and taste dishes such as bun cha noodles or ca phe sua da iced coffee.

Tourists coming here should definitely try the traditional Pho Hoa Pasteur broth dish and the Nhau Nhau cocktail. In addition, special attention should be paid to the Bánh Mì Kep Tht kebab, which can be tasted at the Anan restaurant with 1 Michelin star.
