Tuesday Travels#34 Vietnam's Street Food

If the Filipinos like their street food grilled, fried or barbecued, the Vietnamese like their street food with soup, lots of veggies, and with noodles and bread.



While they have the usual dry and crunchy snack foods, which by the way are quite tasty and cheap, the ones that could fill the tummy are the soupy type.

The Saigon Central post office is located at downtown Ho Chi Minh City, just walking distance from Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, the city's main church. The post office building was constructed when Vietnam was part of French Indochina in the early 20th century. It has a Gothic architectural style. It was designed and constructed by the famous architect Gustave Eiffel, the same designer who did the Eiffel Tower of France.
