Ben Thanh Market
is a huge covered market in central HCMC, and a must-see place.
Coffee
It is one of the best places to buy
coffee, but do try the stalls inside before buying, as the outside stalls are
more expensive.Also if you are buying a reasonable quantity you can usually
get a couple of free coffee filters. Vietnamese coffee is really delicious, I'm
surprised it is not more widely available in the West.
Apart from coffee,
you can get almost anything in the market or the shops surrounding it. You will
have to bargain, unless the prices are written on the goods, but that is all
part of the experience. And afterwards you can have a bowl of delicious
noodles. |
