Hello! I'm Spring ^^ I want to show you the chill version of Saigon through vegan street food, hidden alleys, and everyday life. This isn't about ticking famous dishes off a list. Everything is authentic Vietnamese comfort food, naturally vegan and made for locals, not tourists. We'll usually try a mix of bánh xèo, bún thịt nướng, chả giò, bò lá lốt, bánh bèo, bánh bột lọc, há cảo, xíu mại, bột chiên, chè, and seasonal fruits (the lineup changes with the vendors). We'll explore hidden alleys, an old apartment block, and maybe a lively local market. I made this tour hoping vegan travelers would make friends. But I suck at marketing, so sometimes the only friend you make is me or one of my team member. Afterwards I'll send you my personal vegan recipes for the dishes. We'll eat a lot... but we'll also walk around 7,000 steps, so we feel less guilty for eating so much. Come hungry!
