The Tan Dinh Market is best known for its down-home Vietnamese food. A number of vendors and food stalls in the market's food section offer dishes freshly made to order, including Vietnamese pancakes (banh xeo), fresh spring rolls (goi cuon), Hue cakes (banh beo), and Vietnamese noodle soup (pho).
Reboard your coach for a drive to the Ben Nghe Street Food Center. Your guide will walk you through various street-food stalls, and you will have the opportunity to taste the food.
Ngon Restaurant offers an extensive menu of high-quality street foods gathered from all over Vietnam. The concept is to bring together many different street vendors under one roof for a wide array of classic Vietnamese dishes showcasing the flair, independence and simplicity of street fare. A light Vietnamese lunch is served here.
Café Vot brews its java in the traditional way. Enjoy a cup of coffee on a sidewalk populated by tiny plastic stools.
Grab a cup of joe at the Saigon Retro Concept Café. Located in a small valley, this eclectically furnished café exudes a laid-back vibe and cool, retro feel. Coffee here is not just a drink, but a social aspect of life.
Head downtown to Ho Chi Minh City's Dong Khoi Street — one of the city's busiest streets and formerly known as Rue Catinat. It is still a fascinating place. Try your hand at bargaining for porcelain figurines, cinnamon boxes and other souvenirs. You'll have time on your own to shop for souvenirs before rejoining the motorcoach for the drive back to the pier.
