The sudden heavy rain did not deter diners. On the contrary, many people were delighted to enjoy street food in an old-fashioned setting. |

Street food dishes cost only from 5,000 - 30,000 VND/dish. Diners can enjoy them freely. |
According to the organizers, Saigon street food is considered a custom, habit and spiritual culture of Saigon people. With a unique combination of regional and international cultures, Saigon cuisine past and present is always attractive. The culinary space has become a place for everyone to exchange with the flow of old Saigon.
The festival is inspired by the quintessence of Vietnamese cuisine with 5 flavors: the innocent taste of “childhood”, the fresh taste of “youth”, the challenging taste of “stumbling”, the mature taste of “maturity”, and finally the profound taste of “life”. These five flavors represent the stages of growth and development of the city’s children, intertwined to create fascinating stories.
