#hiddengems #vianasjourney #awesomepic #familytrips2024 #vianasjourney #deliciousfood 1) Crispy Vietnamese Pancake (Bánh xèo); savoury fried pancake made of rice flour. Stuffing including prawns and bean sprout. Mine was extra special because mixed with coconut milk which makes it more creamier and smells delicious. This one is my favourite of all. 2) Pho; This one need no introduction, I had it few times while in the city. 3) Chargrilled pork & betel leaves 4) Banh Flan (Vietnamese Creme Caramel - A Silky Egg Pudding) 5) Vietnamese Coconut Coffee - creamy texture and subtle tropical sweetness. But any vietnamese coffee worth trying. 6) Lychee - while I was visiting, lychee is in season and I think it is my favourite fruit from that trip.

#wheretogo Located in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam, Soko is a trendy restaurant serving brunch and mains. It’s a few streets away from the famous Ben Thanh Market and we decided to head there for late brunch after being out and about the whole morning on vacation. Soko is very clean and modern, with artsy details throughout the restaurant. In fact, I didn’t even feel like I was in Vietnam. They serve a selection of beverages which taste good, and their variety of croissants are also very popular. Give this a try if you visit Ho Chi Minh City, well worth a visit! My rating of this restaurant: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

The market is open early morning and stays open well into the evening and it always bustling with life. There seems to be cheaper deals if you go in the morning as they believe making sales early brings good luck! Many items can be found in the market from clothes, bags, pottery souveniers, local coffee, and there is also food options and drinks too. Most of the stalls require you to haggle, or bargain. I experienced reducing a price from 450,000 to 100,000VND. The vendors can be a little pushy but overall very friendly. The building itself is old, large, and a nice setting. With a high roof to keep the sun away. Would recommend a vist #market #hochiminhcity #asiatrip #bargainhunting

The seller will offer you ridiculous prices, that means you have to bargain hard. Most of the items they sell are the same between one to another seller. But some sellers near the entrance of West gate offer a fixed price. I definitely do not recommend the food area inside this market , they will stop you and force you to buy a meal at their shop and you know what, the food we got was totally different from the one we ordered. (You can get some good food at the food court near the Independence palace ) There's a money changers inside this market, they gave us a good deal 😁. Beware of pick pockets!!

Just came back from Vietnam, and it was really great value for money. There weren't many people when we went during the National Day holiday. Round-trip flights were CNY 2,600, and you could stay in a super luxury hotel for CNY 500–600. You could eat your fill for CNY 10+ per person, and CNY 100+ would be a luxury meal. We entered from Ho Chi Minh City and left from Hanoi, traveling from south to north. We spent 9D8N in 6 cities. My itinerary was very tight. If you want to travel in depth, you can skip a few cities. I will share the route with you in the second picture: Day 1 Arrive in Ho Chi Minh City, have a local specialty for dinner, enjoy the night view, and rest to prepare for the trip.

The mountain road is rugged and easy to get carsick. We had a seafood feast at Thanh Suong 2 in Nha Trang, which was very fresh. Then we went to the night market and took a walk on the beach, which was very pleasant. Day 5 Nha Trang city walk: Hon Chong Promontory—Po Nagar Cham Towers—Nha Trang Cathedral—An Thoi—Ola Cafe—Nha Trang Night Market Take a night bus from Nha Trang to Da Nang, about 10 hours.

Then we went to Hoi An Ancient Town to stroll around, visit ancient temples and guild halls, taste coffee, and enjoy the beautiful night view of the ancient town with a Nanyang style. Because it was the weekend, we saw the Dragon Bridge spitting fire when we returned to Da Nang. We were very lucky. Day 8 Ride a bike to Hai Van Pass. We rented an electric motorcycle. The Hai Van Pass is known as one of the 50 cycling routes you must visit in your life, and it is indeed very beautiful. We took a direct flight to Hanoi in the evening.

The snack stalls in Bincheng Market are not very prominent in taste, but they are authentic enough. Vietnamese spring rolls are crispy and crispy, Vietnamese cha siu is smooth and tender, and sticky meat is savory and refreshing. Authentic Vietnamese street snacks are! Shopping remember to kill price comparison (from 30% off kill), otherwise it will be very disadvantageous.

#hiddengems Ben Thanh Market is a tourist favorite, and you can find Vietnamese goods for you to bring back home - coffee, tea, cutleries and many more. 😋 We got ourselves some lotus tea and pandan tea to bring home! There is also a section where you can have food, but we didn't try that out as we wanted to eat at a nearby brewery. As per every other touristy markets in the world, you'll come to realize that almost every stall sell the same items. It's really up to your ability to haggle to the price you want! But please don't low-ball the vendors, you wouldn't like it too when the tables are turned. Rating (out of 5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
