If you only have room for one food tour in Saigon, make it the one that covers the classics. This ride strings together the dishes locals grow up on with some of the city’s most photogenic corners.

You start with cơm tấm, broken rice, the everyday plate made from fractured rice grains and topped with grilled pork. From there you ride to an old apartment block, Saigon’s biggest flower market, a bánh mì stop, a café that still makes coffee the old way, a busy fashion street and Thien Hau Temple in Chinatown.
