A great selection of huge prawns on offer at Ben Thanh market in Saigon. We were fortunate that our hotel was just half a block away, making it a easy to pop into the market for a small (or substantial) snack at one of the stalls when we were feeling peckish.Read more about snackin' in Saigon.
Prawns and shrimp lined up for you to choose at the Ben Thanh market.
Beautiful vegetables on display at a stand at Ben Thanh market. The cooking possibilities with these vegetables and fresh herbs are endless.

Crab on sugar cane (Chao Tom) makes another appearance, at left. But the show-stealer here is the Bo La Lot, or seasoned beef in a leaf. The vendor told us it was betel leaf, though Vietnamese street food experts might argue with that.Anyhow, this grilled dish became one of our favorite snacks inside the Ben Thanh market. The beef was seasoned (nutmeg and fermented fish sauce?) and topped with roasted peanuts and a zippy dipping sauce.Read more about snackin' in Saigon.

Fresh Spring Rolls and Shrimp Cooked on Sugar Cane - HCMC
Being a fan of avocados, Audrey had to try a shake when she saw it on the menu. It was a creamy, tasty and thick, but not quite as refreshing as a mango or pineapple shake. The grilled pork and beef were fantastic. We liked the use of grilled peanuts in HCMC to accent the food.
