Street Food in Ho Chi Minh City: A Local’s Guide to the Best Cheap Eats

A culinary remnant of the French colonial era, the banh mi is a baguette sandwich with a Vietnamese twist. The crispy and fluffy baguette is slathered with pate and mayonnaise before getting stuffed with meat - usually pork - cucumbers, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, jalapeños, and chilli sauce.   This is a street food staple in Ho Chi Minh City. And while it is a common breakfast item, banh mi can be enjoyed at any time of day.    Where to try it: Banh mi street food vendors are ubiquitous in Saigon. However, if you've only got 24 hours in Ho Chi Minh City and want to try one of the city's best, Banh Mi Huynh Hoa in District 1 is known for its meaty, overstuffed banh mi sandwiches. It's not the cheapest, but it's worth it if you come hungry.   Address: 26 Le Thi Rieng, Phuong Pham Ngu Lao, Quan 1
