This street food outlet in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City was made famous by Anthony Bourdain https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aI0u3eaQgcA in 2008. Renowned for their crispy Vietnamese rice flour crepes, Ban Xeo lived up to its reputation on our visit today. Of course it has now been discovered by tourists but the service and quality of the food has stood up to the test.
The ladies are still out the front cooking up a storm over the wood fire and prices are extremely reasonable. We enjoyed the experience and loved the crunchy crepes filled with shrimps, pork and bean sprouts and served with a delicious fish sauce dip and a mountain of fresh lettuce and herbs.
Get over the fact that it is now firmly on the tourist trail and try it when next in Saigon.
But was Obama there?
Not going to the Pho place Obama made famous…although it did cross our mind! Sx
That made my mouth water
The food here is as good as everyone says! Fresh, light and flavourful. Sxx
