Incredible Vegan Food Tour With Spring — Must-Do in HCMC! 😀 - Edit
We went on this food tour with Spring and had such an amazing time exploring Ho Chi Minh City. She didn’t just show us where to eat — she shared so much insight about local culture, daily life, and Vietnamese traditions that it felt like a full cultural experience, not just a food tour. I highly, highly recommend doing this when visiting HCMC.
Read moreWe started at a hidden local gem where we tried a taro spring roll, curry, and a herbal tea — all amazing and delicious. Next, we stopped for a bánh mì sandwich, which was really good.
After that, Spring took us to try several local fruits, including rose apple, persimmons, different varieties of lychee, and a custard apple. My favorite was definitely the custard apple — it was incredibly sweet and flavorful. I’ve never had one like that in the US, where they’re usually not sweet at all.
Then Spring introduced us to an accidentally vegan dessert: a fried rice ball with banana inside topped with coconut milk. It reminded me of a fun twist on mango sticky rice (my favorite dessert), and I would’ve never known it was vegan without her.
Afterward, we headed to a different spot where Spring made me a fresh spring roll using various herbs I had never tried before — such unique and interesting flavors. Then we crossed the street to a vegan Chinese restaurant and ended the tour with dumplings.
We unfortunately had to head to the airport because our flight was coming up, but the time we had was absolutely worth it. We also met some great people on the tour, which made it even more fun.
Overall: amazing food, amazing host, amazing experience. Don’t miss this tour.

Unique and Delicious - Edit
What an awesome foodie experience this tour is!
Read moreSpring had us weave our way through a maze of backstreets and along vibrant mainstreets, through two districts sharing with us hidden little gems and streetside food stalls.
As a tourist these are venues that only locals and seasoned visitors would know. At times we were the only foreigners among groups of friendly locals, so we really got to experience Vietnamese culture and local vegan-friendly cuisine.
Spring was a friendly and welcoming tour guide, both approachable and knowledgeable. I'd definitely recommend this foodie tour to anyway, whether you're vegan / vego / plantbased or not.
