Ho Chi Minh City Food By Night, Private Motorbike Tour

体験内容

Hello! I am Vinny, the founder of Street Food Man and also a street food blogger. I have been an English speaking guide for 7 years and Vietnamese street food is my HUGE PASSION ever. I created these tours with the purpose of taking tourists from all over the world to explore Saigon, taste Vietnamese street food off of the beaten path and experience the life of the local people. Take in the sights, sounds, and smells of Saigon as I guide you through the back alleys and hidden street that you otherwise wouldn't find on your own.

Meet your English-speaking guide at 17:30, and climb on the back of a bike to immerse yourself in the crazy traffic. Stop to enjoy some Banh Xeo and Banh Khot (South and Central rice pancakes), and learn how they are made from a chef with over 20 years experiences. Encounter old apartment buildings and go on a short adventure to climb up to the top of some old buildings and see the contrasting architecture between modern and authentic Saigon. You can even visit a local pagoda which was built inside an old apartment by a female monk.

Visit the biggest night flower market and soak up the wonderful bouquets. Take a short walk around the area, and get a special gift from your guide. Go deep into a true maze of local market to have an authentic local experience by grilling banana girdle- cakes. Next, drive to District 5 and pass a street famous for its oil paintings. Stop at a local restaurant to savor some bún chả (grilled pork with noodles, Hanoi style), known as “Obama Noodles” after President Obama and Anthony Bourdain tried them in 2016!

Venture into District 10, where the city’s street food scene really thrives. Excite your taste buds with a heavenly dish of coconut ice cream at a shop established in 1975. Watch as the owner prepares some coconut ice cream right before your eyes. Take a spin around the city for enticing views of the night life, and experience the hustle and bustle of fashion street. Squeeze through narrow alleyways that cars can’t access, and journey along the banks of the Saigon River with a welcoming breeze. 

End your food and motorbike tour in District 4, where you will enjoy a seafood meal of 3 different dishes and an authentic food challenge! (if you are allergic to seafood, it will be replaced by BBQ meat). Try some balut (boiled, fertilized egg) if you dare, and tuck into a nice dessert of flan cake with caramel, coffee and coconut milk. Wash it all down with some special beer, soft drinks, mineral water or homemade Vietnamese rice wine which is made in Street Food Man Vinny's village.

I wish to connect you with Vietnamese young generation, and also create a good job for them. I have chosen and carefully trained excellent guides who are passionate, energetic and have a HUGE PASSION for Vietnamese street food. They like talking with the tourists and possess a lot of enthusiasm in sharing culture, history, food and everything about Vietnam with you. They not only are willing to help you in the tour but also after the tour finishes. As our slogan “come as a guest, leave as a friend” we want to become your friends in Vietnam.
