(Ho Chi Minh) Ben Nghe Street Food ★★★

134 Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa, Bến Nghé, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam Food court rather than street food. Good to have various choices but not cost-effective. 2025-01-02 THU Hunting for the first meal in Saigon. After checkin in ÊMM Hotel Saigon , we went out for meal. It turned out that our hotel is very next block from Soul Live Project , the venue of Saigon Swing Festival. Locals were celebrating the new year with traditional costumes in the Independence Palace . The name 'street food' sounded interesting, but it didn't look as I expected, because it was more like a food court. Also the price was ridiculous cosidering the local prices. 12 grilled oysters were only 139k in Hàu Nướng Oyster Box . A bit fun to look around but it only took a few minutes. Decide fast and move to the next target. back to Ho Chi Minh (2025.1)
