My Favourite Food From Ben Thanh Market
#hiddengems #vianasjourney #awesomepic
#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney #deliciousfood
1) Crispy Vietnamese Pancake (Bánh xèo); savoury fried pancake made of rice flour. Stuffing including prawns and bean sprout. Mine was extra special because mixed with coconut milk which makes it more creamier and smells delicious. This one is my favourite of all.
2) Pho; This one need no introduction, I had it few times while in the city.
3) Chargrilled pork & betel leaves
4) Banh Flan (Vietnamese Creme Caramel - A Silky Egg Pudding)
5) Vietnamese Coconut Coffee - creamy texture and subtle tropical sweetness. But any vietnamese coffee worth trying.
6) Lychee - while I was visiting, lychee is in season and I think it is my favourite fruit from that trip.

Amazing brunch at Soko Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳
#wheretogo
Located in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam, Soko is a trendy restaurant serving brunch and mains. It’s a few streets away from the famous Ben Thanh Market and we decided to head there for late brunch after being out and about the whole morning on vacation.
Soko is very clean and modern, with artsy details throughout the restaurant. In fact, I didn’t even feel like I was in Vietnam. They serve a selection of beverages which taste good, and their variety of croissants are also very popular.
Give this a try if you visit Ho Chi Minh City, well worth a visit!
My rating of this restaurant: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

We Visited Ben Thanh Market in Saigon! 😄
Ben Thanh Market is one of the most popular attractions in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam so when we travelled here, we chose to stay in District 1 to be close to all tourist attractions including Ben Thanh Market. This place is absolutely touristy and as a first-time travellers in Ho Chi Minh we found this place interesting and worth visiting. We ate our dinner here and it wasnt that bad. We actually loved the food. The food price and is almost the same in Bangkok.
Would love to come back with my best friend again! We love the fact that Vietnam is a budget-friendly country. 🤭

Mesmerizing Market
The market is open early morning and stays open well into the evening and it always bustling with life. There seems to be cheaper deals if you go in the morning as they believe making sales early brings good luck!
Many items can be found in the market from clothes, bags, pottery souveniers, local coffee, and there is also food options and drinks too.
Most of the stalls require you to haggle, or bargain. I experienced reducing a price from 450,000 to 100,000VND. The vendors can be a little pushy but overall very friendly.
The building itself is old, large, and a nice setting. With a high roof to keep the sun away. Would recommend a vist #market #hochiminhcity #asiatrip #bargainhunting

Shop till you drop in Ho Chi Minh City's Ben Thanh Market
Ben Thanh Market, also known as Border Green Market, is the largest trade market in Ho Chi Minh City. In the digital economy era, perhaps only overseas can you see such a large market. The indoor high-ceiling space is planned with over 1600 stalls, divided into six major blocks according to product categories. The AB area mainly deals with daily necessities, the CD area mainly deals with personal items and processed food, and the EF area mainly deals with fresh food ingredients.
How to visit: The market is particularly large, so go straight to the block you are interested in shopping. Ben Thanh Market has four main entrances, the south gate is the main entrance, which is the door where a large clock stands in the round square outside the market. The south gate mainly deals with cloth products and dry food, and often the most tourists enter from here. There are many clothes and bags in Area A, especially Vietnamese characteristic clothes are a good choice. When shopping here, you must bargain hard, and you can get a pair of Vietnamese characteristic trousers for 100,000 Vietnamese dong.
Visit experience: As the weather in Ho Chi Minh City is relatively hot, you can shade from the sun when you stroll around here, but there is no air conditioning in the room, and it is also very hot, and the goods are quite the same, except for bargaining hard, there is no need to compare three stores. The leisure time should not exceed 2 hours.
Address: Located in District 1 of downtown Ho Chi Minh City, this is one of the earliest preserved buildings in Saigon, and it is also a landmark building in Ho Chi Minh City.
Business hours: 7:00 - 19:00, no tickets required. However, it is also open at night, but only a part of the night market is open.

Ben Thanh Market - fun shopping
Loads and loads of shopping available at #Benthanh market.
Do note that it can get pretty humid when you’re inside.
REMEMBER: negotiation is key!
Always start with 50% off the quotes price and slowly work your way up.
Great place to stock up on dried fruits and nuts. Natural and yummy!
Within the market, there are also loads of clothes, inspired designer handbags. Cater at least 3 hours to complete the whole market!

⭐️ Shopping @ Ben Thanh Market
#hiddengems
Ben Thanh Market is a tourist favorite, and you can find Vietnamese goods for you to bring back home - coffee, tea, cutleries and many more. 😋 We got ourselves some lotus tea and pandan tea to bring home!
There is also a section where you can have food, but we didn't try that out as we wanted to eat at a nearby brewery.
As per every other touristy markets in the world, you'll come to realize that almost every stall sell the same items. It's really up to your ability to haggle to the price you want! But please don't low-ball the vendors, you wouldn't like it too when the tables are turned.

Night street market
There is always a street market in Ho Chi Minh city and you can always see street vendors on their motorcycles setting up stores. The area around Ben Thanh Market is always available for impromptu selling. Many street vendors also sell their home cooked food at cheap prices. It is much vibrant at night and you really can buy everything you need at the street market. The street market is a busy street and motorcycles are passing by too. So have to be careful and keep to the side of the road. Stay safe! Have fun in Vietnam! #vietnam #traveltheworld

Beautiful fresh flowers at Cho Ben Thanh Market Ho Chi Minh Vietnam#tripblazers Ho Chi Minh Vietnam
From fresh food to clothes and groceries, here is the largest market in Ho Chi Minh City the border market. The north side mainly sells food, and the south side sells clothing and groceries. There is also a nail shop in the corner of selling food. Here, the things in Vietnam are very complete. If you want to buy a hand letter, you can choose to buy it here. However, because there are more tourists, the asking price is very high. You must slash in the dead. The bargaining price is not too embarrassing, or you can buy the price. Things that are too high will blame yourself for not being too low.
In addition, due to the large traffic volume here, people are also mixed. It is recommended to beware of thieves and keep their belongings safe.
