We’ll head over to District 3 to try Chuối Nếp Nướng—a humble yet spectacular street delicacy proudly ranked among the world’s top 10 street foods. This dish consists of ripe, sweet bananas wrapped in a layer of sticky rice, grilled over charcoal until the outside is perfectly crispy. It is then smothered in a rich, creamy, and slightly savory coconut milk sauce, topped with tapioca pearls and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

    This is a must do experience!!! Harry and Peter showed us an AMAZING time in Ho Chi Minh City. It was the last day on our holiday in Vietnam and we were feeling tired and sad. Harry and Peter brought amazing energy to the evening and they showed us some truly astounding locations and food that we would NEVER have found ourselves. We are so grateful for their time, knowledge and friendship. THANK YOU!
