My
family
and
friends,
a
group
of
seven,
embarked
on
an
unforgettable
night
food
tour
in
Ho
Chi
Minh
City
with
Steven
and
the
Sticky
Rice
Gang,
and
it
was
an
experience
that
surpassed
all
expectations.
Riding
together
on
scooters
through
the
bustling
streets
added
an
extra
thrill
to
our
adventure.
From
the
moment
we
were
greeted
by
the
warm
smiles
of
the
gang,
including
the
incredibly
knowledgeable
and
witty
Steven,
we
knew
we
were
in
for
an
exceptional
evening.
What
struck
us
most
was
the
amiable
nature
of
every
member
of
the
Sticky
Rice
Gang.
Their
friendliness
and
eagerness
to
share
their
love
for
the
city
and
its
cuisine
made
the
entire
journey
feel
like
we
were
exploring
the
city
with
old
friends.
Steven's
jokes
not
only
kept
us
entertained
but
also
created
an
atmosphere
that
added
to
the
joy
of
the
evening.
The
culinary
escapade
was
nothing
short
of
spectacular,
encompassing
a
delightful
array
of
Vietnamese
delicacies.
From
the
robust
and
aromatic
Bun
Bo
Hue
to
the
unique
and
flavorful
Chuoi
Nep
Nuong
(BBQ
sticky
rice
with
green
banana
and
coconut
milk),
each
dish
was
a
revelation
in
taste
and
texture.
We
savored
the
Bang
Trang
Nuong—a
harmonious
combination
of
rice
paper,
pork,
dried
fish,
spring
onions,
and
egg
mayonnaise—and
relished
the
Bo
Bia,
indulging
in
the
betel
leaf
wrapped
beef
BBQ,
known
as
Bo
La
Lot.
The
Trung
Cut
Chen
Nuong
Hau,
featuring
oyster
and
quail
egg,
was
a
flavorful
delight,
while
the
deep-fried
spring
rolls
offered
a
crispy
and
satisfying
bite.
Among
the
memorable
highlights
were
the
Loh
Bac
crackers,
the
delightful
Sweet
Potato
Balloon,
and
the
refreshing
Sugar
Cane
Juice
(Nước
Mía).
And
of
course,
no
culinary
journey
through
Vietnam
would
be
complete
without
the
iconic
Banh
Mi
and
the
heavenly
Crème
Caramel
(Banh
Flan)
paired
perfectly
with
iced
coffee.
Beyond
the
gastronomic
delights,
we
were
also
taken
to
the
enchanting
night
flower
market,
adding
an
extra
layer
of
magic
to
our
Ho
Chi
Minh
City
experience.
By
the
end
of
the
tour,
our
bellies
were
pleasantly
full,
and
we
couldn't
help
but
feel
like
happy
Buddhas,
content
and
utterly
satisfied
with
the
abundance
of
delicious
food,
warm
company,
the
added
thrill
of
riding
together
on
scooters,
and
the
enchantment
of
the
flower
market.
In
summary,
the
experience
with
Steven
and
the
Sticky
Rice
Gang
was
not
just
a
food
tour;
it
was
a
journey
filled
with
laughter,
friendship,
an
authentic
taste
of
Ho
Chi
Minh
City's
culinary
treasures,
and
an
immersion
into
its
bustling
night
culture—all
while
zooming
around
on
scooters!
We
departed
with
full
hearts,
grateful
for
the
wonderful
memories
created
during
this
exceptional
adventure.
We
wholeheartedly
recommend
this
tour
to
anyone
seeking
a
truly
immersive
and
delightful
experience
in
this
vibrant
city.
