Every meal under $3. Every ride on the back of a scooter. Saigon is sensory overload in the best way.
Restaurant
Pho Hoa Pasteur
260C Pasteur, Phường, Xuân Hòa, Hồ Chí Minh 70000, Vietnam
The pho that locals fight about. Thin broth, raw beef that cooks in the bowl. Add chili and move on.
Restaurant
Banh Mi Huynh Hoa
26 Lê Thị Riêng, Phường Phạm Ngũ Lão, Bến Thành, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam
The queue wraps around the block for a reason. Stuffed with pate, cold cuts, pickled daikon. Under $2.
Activity
Ben Thanh Market
Ben Thanh, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
Touristy but the food stalls in the back are still solid. Broken rice with pork chop is the play.
Cafe
The Café Apartments
D1, 42 Nguyễn Huệ, Street, Sài Gòn, Hồ Chí Minh 700000, Vietnam
Old apartment block converted into stacked cafes. Pick a floor, any floor. The 3rd floor one has the best egg coffee.
Neighborhood
Bui Vien Walking Street
Bùi Viện, Phường Phạm Ngũ Lão, Bến Thành, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam
Pure chaos at night. Plastic chairs, $1 beers, live music everywhere. Go once for the experience.
