If the pace of life in Saigon during the holidays passes slowly and poetically, then on work days, you will see a bustling atmosphere covering the streets.
1. Bread
In Saigon, banh mi appears everywhere, from alleys to main streets.
It only takes about 5 minutes for the seller to prepare a loaf of bread for you.
Quality bread loaf with lots of pate, pork sausage, meat, topped with cilantro, cucumber and sauce.
2. Sticky rice of all kinds
If compared in terms of popularity, it is difficult for sticky rice to prevail over bread.
With prices ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 VND for a package of sweet sticky rice and 10,000 to 15,000 VND for a box of salty sticky rice, many people choose to eat sticky rice for their breakfast.
Usually at carts selling bread, salty sticky rice is also sold.
3. Dumplings
There are usually two types of dumplings: filled and unfilled, with prices ranging from 8,000 VND to 15,000 VND.
Usually, dumplings are bought and eaten hot, because when cooled, the crust will become hard, losing its delicious taste.
4. Banh gio
If you only need to eat one dumpling to be full, then you need to eat two dumplings to ensure your energy.
That image is no longer there, but the hot spring rolls still retain the same flavor as ever.
To ensure energy for breakfast, a person should eat about 2 spring rolls like this to be full.
5. Wet cake – rice roll
Saigon people do not require sophistication in eating, perhaps that is why popular `fast food` has become so popular.
