Leisure Buddy

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.

Safety, helmet and clothing

  • No scooter is involved. You walk between stops and take a taxi or Grab for longer distances.
  • Comfortable clothes and shoes you can walk in. Pavement stools are low, so avoid anything tight or fragile.

  • Drink responsibly if you drink at all; your Buddy is not responsible for your consumption
