Ramadan Food Market Update: A Saigon Halal Foodie Adventure! 🌃
We're halfway through Ramadan, and the Saigon Muslim community's food market is buzzing! This year, it's bigger and better than ever, with more people indulging and vendors offering exciting new dishes.
Must-Try Delights:
- Beef Sausage (Lap Xuong Bo) & Tung Lo Mo: This year, grab freshly grilled sausages made from 100% beef using traditional methods. And the grilled chicken and beef skewers marinated in fragrant curry? Irresistible! 🤤
- Beef Curry (Cari Bo): Usually only available from stall 157A1/20, this year there are more vendors offering this flavorful dish, with portions ranging from 70-100.
- Beef Porridge (Chao Bo): You won't find this sold in the market; the mosque distributes it for free after prayers. Just bring your bowl to the back gate of the mosque and enjoy!
- Beef & Veggie Banh Bao: Steamed buns filled with ground beef, veggies, vermicelli, and quail eggs (15k VND). This year, they've added a salted egg yolk option (+5k VND)! Amazing value! 👍
- Baked and Steamed Banh Gan: Two cooking methods, two distinct flavors! At just 10k VND a slice, try both!
- Palm Sugar Water (Nuoc Thot Not): Small bottle (10k VND), large bottle (35k VND). Super sweet and refreshing! Squeeze in some lime and add ice for the perfect drink. My friend said the fresh palm fruit costs 100k VND outside, but here you can get it for just 40k VND!
- Don't forget to visit stall 157A1/20! She cooks up incredible, budget-friendly dishes: Beef curry (50k VND), Thinh soup (50k VND) – a huge portion, and Singaporean-style Laksa with rich coconut milk (30k VND). New this year: delicious fish cakes (30k VND for ~300g).
- Crispy & Soft Banh Xep: Both are 10k VND. I always go to the stall next door to try fresh-fried delicious cakes. This year, they have new additions: fragrant milk tea with charcoal cocoa (12k VND), and pumpkin sweet soup.
