Photo: A $2.50 Saigon Street Food Dinner For Two

This is a typical local dinner I have in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A 5 course meal for ₫30,000 ($1.25 USD) per person – includes a drink.

Traditional Vietnamese cooking is greatly admired for its fresh ingredients, minimal use of dairy and oil, complementary textures, and reliance on herbs and vegetables. With the balance between fresh herbs and meats and a selective use of spices to reach a fine taste, Vietnamese food is considered one of the healthiest cuisines worldwide.
