Hello, locals know places having "very local foods". Street food is very local foods in Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon), it's more like Vietnamese culture to eat right on the street with a lot of motorbike running by. (^.^)

I think my activity - "Exploring Saigon street foods!" , can help you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine
