Street-side Vietnamese Food and Local Drinking Culture
Sit on the small plastic stools where the city really eats. Your Buddy orders in Vietnamese, explains each dish and keeps the evening relaxed and local.
Eat where the city eats, on low pavement stools, with a Buddy who orders and explains each dish. The stops are your Buddy's choice on the day, built around what you feel like eating. Drinking is optional and never pushed. You pay for the food and drinks as you go, in cash.
