Best Halal Food Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City: Ben Thanh Market, Saigon Muslim Street and Cham Food Stalls
Reposted from the web
Summary: This Ho Chi Minh City halal food guide follows Ben Thanh Market and the nearby Muslim street in Saigon, showing halal restaurants, Malay and Cham food, lemon noodles, a Cham stall owner, market scenes, and the Muslim food life around the city center.
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. This is the largest and most developed city in Vietnam. There is a clear development gap between the capital Hanoi and here.
One of the landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City is the Ben Thanh Market (Picture 1). Photos of the market when it was first completed are still posted outside the market. Looking around, the location here is excellent, with popular attractions such as Ho Chi Minh City Hall, Independence Palace, and Grand Theater not far away (Picture 4).
The market is bustling with tourists from all over the world. The products inside are also dazzling, ranging from souvenirs to clothes and bags, and all kinds of small commodities. Everyone who saw it was dazzled. The merchants inside are packed one after another, so densely packed that they all enthusiastically attract passing travelers.
If you don’t want to buy, you can refuse politely, and they won’t pester you for nothing. They want business, but they have boundaries and know how to exercise restraint. I like this very much. And there are also various snack stalls here, which are colorfully decorated.
After going out, there is a street dedicated to halal restaurants. Not only that, there are also prayer clothing stores, travel agencies for Muslim tourists, etc.
During the two or three days I was in Ho Chi Minh, I basically ate here. The food here is very characteristic of Southeast Asia, including coconut milk (Picture 12), grilled fish with rice (Picture 13). I ordered a beef pho, and the lady boss brought a side dish, which had a faint fishy smell when I chewed it.
Halfway through eating the noodles, I squeezed some lemon juice into it, which not only increased the flavor, but also smelled more like lemon.
There is a Cham man named Maieryan who sets up a food stall at the door, and the stove is on the back seat of his motorcycle. After a brief chat with the stall owner, she knew that I was going to Tay Ninh Province (there is also Tay Ninh in Vietnam, but theirs is Tay Ninh Province, not far to the west of Ho Chi Minh) and told me that she also had relatives living there.
