This trip to Ho Chi Minh City is a complete discovery of Vietnamese food! From classic sticky rice and authentic home-cooked meals to hidden snail dishes and cafes, Ho Chi Minh City is truly Vietnam’s food paradise! 🥢 Xôi Gà Number One – Vietnamese sticky rice you can’t miss (Picture 1) 📍 Xôi Gà Number One (Chính Gốc) **Recommended must-eat:** Sticky rice with shredded chicken (Xôi Gà) This small shop specializing in Vietnamese sticky rice is recognized by locals as No.1! The glutinous rice is chewy and sweet, paired with shredded chicken, fried onions, quail eggs, and Vietnamese barbecued pork. Every bite is full of fragrance, salty and slightly sweet, super delicious! 📌 Tips: Remember to pair it with mung bean water (Nước Đậu Xanh), which is refreshing and relieves greasiness! 🍜 Béo Ơi Quán – Vietnamese home cooking + snail dishes 🐚 (Pictures 2 and 3) 📍 Béo Ơi Quán **Recommended must-eats:** Tomato beef soup rice noodles (Bún Bò Cà Chua), snail dishes (Ốc hấp sả), betel nut flower salad (Gỏi Bắp Chuối) This restaurant is a home cooking restaurant loved by locals. The rich tomato beef soup rice noodles completely overturned my impression of Vietnamese rice noodles. The soup base is sour and sweet with a bit of beef flavor, and paired with fried shallots, it tastes warm and satisfying! The most special thing here is the snail dish, which is steamed with lemongrass and lemon leaves. It has no fishy smell but is full of fragrance. It is paired with a special Vietnamese sauce and tastes fresh, sweet and chewy! 📌 Tips: When eating snails, remember to pair them with rice noodles and lettuce, and dip them in some sauce for a richer taste! 🍲 Bếp Mẹ Ỉn – Vietnamese mother’s home-cooked taste (Picture 4) 📍 Bếp Mẹ Ỉn – Lê Thánh Tôn **Recommended must-eats:** Vietnamese pancake (Bánh Xèo), lemongrass spare ribs (Sườn Nướng Sả) This store is full of Vietnamese nostalgia, even the tableware is very retro! The pancake skin is super crispy, filled with shrimp, bean sprouts and pork, rolled with lettuce and herbs, and dipped in fish sauce. It has a crispy and non-greasy texture. The lemongrass spare ribs are also a must-try. The ribs are grilled until slightly charred, and have a light lemongrass flavor. Paired with rice or rice noodles, it goes really well with rice! 📌 Tips: The plating in this store is perfect for taking photos, and you’ll get full marks for checking in! 📸 ☕ Hidden Vietnamese Cafe – Retro atmosphere! 📍 Cafe Apartment hidden cafe (Pictures 5 and 6) **Recommended must-try:** Vietnamese egg coffee (Cà Phê Trứng), caramel brulee coffee The cafe hidden in Cafe Apartment has a unique decoration, perfect for a leisurely coffee time! The egg coffee is rich and smooth, and tastes like liquid tiramisu, sweet but not greasy. There is also caramel brulee coffee, which has a layer of burnt caramel with a crispy burnt aroma, and is delicious when paired with espresso! 📌 Tips: Sitting on the balcony, you can enjoy the street view of Ho Chi Minh City while drinking coffee, which is super comfortable! 🎯 Ho Chi Minh City = Food Paradise! This food exploration in Ho Chi Minh City really subverted my imagination of Vietnamese cuisine! There is not only pho, but also rich home-cooked dishes, special snail dishes and unique coffee culture.
