    Vietnam is a great place to eat cheap, good local food. You could survive on a bowl of Po with a nice cold beer and still get a balance of nutrients! Not to mention the people watching is great, although you are also on show! Take Courtney's advice and drink lots of beer - he says it helps to kill anything that maybe a little dodgy.

    Any of the po noodle dishes and the PRAWNS are spicy, lick your fingers good!

    This noodle place is a bit off the tourist tracks, and here i had the most lovely vietnamese beef pho (noodles)! Vietnamese food is in many ways similar to Chinese, but less oily and more fresh herbs. We had some beef pho, with condiments and coconut juice straight from the nut. Wonderful! Sorry, since I was invited here I was not allowed to pay, so no idea what it cost but probably dirt cheap compared to Europe.

    Noodles!

    Eat & Drink like the locals: Street Food at Ben Thanh Market

  • Every evening street restaurants spring up outside Ben Thanh Market. Starting at 5pm they erect tent tops and start heating the grills and woks. In no time the streets are alive with the aroma of fresh Viet cooking. We ordered more than the four of us could eat for under $6.00 US. Everything from Pho to grilled ribs is available. Don't be afraid to enjoy yourself. I am a renal transplant patient and must be very careful about food yet I felt perfectly safe eating here. And it's a welcome refuge from the chaos in the streets!

    I liked the crispy fried noodles with beef.
