Ramadan Food Market 2025: Part 2 - The Ultimate Guide! 🕌✨
Get Ready to Feast! (But Only Once a Year!)
- This incredible food market pops up *only once a year* during the Ramadan month! It's happening until the end of March, every Saturday and Sunday. Perfect for a weekend foodie adventure!
- Word's out! HTV (local TV station) filmed it, so expect it to get crowded. Head there earlier to grab the best treats before they sell out! 🔥
Navigating the Deliciousness: Location & Parking 🚗🚶
- Find this culinary paradise nestled around the mosque, starting at alley 157/58 Duong Ba Trac, District 8. The alley is narrow, so ditch the car and walk! You'll thank us later!
- Motorbike Parking Spots: Look for parking at 157/6, 157/16 (5k VND), 157/46, or the car wash opposite Hem Coffee (10k VND).
- Car woes? Grab a Grab – it's the easiest way to arrive!
Breaking Fast... With Flavor! 😋
- It's called Ramadan "fasting," but the food is savory, incredibly tasty, and budget-friendly! Just remember: no pork dishes.
Cash is King! 💰
- Bring small bills (5k, 10k, 20k VND). Not every stall has mobile payment options. Think "countryside charm" – authentic, delicious, and a little old-school!
Timing is Everything! ⏰
- Don't bother showing up early! The market starts setting up around noon, but the sweet spot is between 3 PM and 5:30 PM. After that, vendors pack up to break their fast after sunset. They put their heart and soul into the food, so they can't make endless portions!
Beyond Fried Goodness! 🥥
- Don't believe the hype about everything being fried! There's so much more! Try the steamed bread, chicken salad, beef broth with thính, beef curry, quail curry, steamed buns with beef filling, or fish noodle soup. Anything with coconut milk is guaranteed to be amazing!
- Must-Try Traditional Cakes: bánh bò (honeycomb cake), bánh gan (pig liver cake - different steamed vs. baked), bánh khoai mì (cassava cake), bánh đậu xanh (mung bean cake), xôi vị (savory sticky rice)... at around 10k VND a piece – bargain!
