Nice food besides Bến Thành Market

Location: Besides Bến Thành Market
Operation: The stall owner will only setup the stall during evening time, about 5pm.

This place actually is one of the tourist spots in Ho Chih Minh City. Many tourist will come over here for dinner, due to the local foods offered over here. It has lot of stalls selling local foods from north to south as well as seafood.

Besides food, there is also some stalls selling clothes, bags, shoes and souvenir around the corner.

1. Tilapia fish + vegetables
The fish is totally fresh, as I discovered when they start to grill the fish. It still moving. As when you order this dish, be expected to wait for about half an hour, as this is one of the signature dish around this area. Once the fish is served, it should be eat together with the vegetable. One has to roll the fish meat together with the vegetable in a soft, thin paper-like crepe. Once you roll it like 'popiah', one need to dip it to fish sauce before put into mouth. If you tried the fish meat just like that, it is very tasty due to the freshness of the fish.

2. Steamed prawn
When the prawn is served, actually it is cooked. However, it still need to be steamed for a while in front of us. What make me amazed what the waitress will peels off the shell from the prawn for us. This really helps us a lot, fully concentrate to enjoying the food.
