Full Description

Start your tour at the meeting point on Bat Su Street, 38, and head to a traditional restaurant specializing in Bun Cha. Hearty dishes with smoked pork on the grill and a flavorful fish sauce broth. Dip the noodles in the broth and enjoy this delicious bite.

Next, enjoy *pho* (noodle soup), which is the most famous dish in Vietnam. But this is a new and different version, which is dry pho mixed with a special sauce. Try the chicken versions and their refreshing taste will blow your mind!

Then, head to a local restaurant to try *Banh Mi*, a special baguette with a variety of fillings and an explosion of flavors. And definitely don't miss a dessert called *Kem Xôi* (glutinous rice with ice cream). Immerse yourself in the sweetness of the ice cream, the sticky texture of the rice, and the crunchy touch of the dried coconut.

After a few dishes, you will be satisfied and satisfied. Take a taxi and go straight to the train tracks. Although the train schedules indicate that they run daily, sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t, so if you are lucky, you may catch one and watch the huge train pass right in front of you.
While you are here, enjoy egg coffees at a cute shop by the track and experience the unique atmosphere.
When you are done with your drinks, take a taxi back to the meeting point where the tour ends.

Please note the following:
- The dishes listed may vary at the discretion of the guide due to factors such as the availability of local restaurants, weather conditions, and schedule. However, the tour will still include a total of five tastings/drinks.
- Depending on the train schedule and other circumstances, we may take you to a different location from Train Street to ensure you can see the train passing. Therefore, transportation on Train Street may vary depending on the schedule of the selected route.
