      1. Banh Mi (Saigon\u2019s Sandwich)<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n

      Historically linked to Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City<\/a>, you\u2019ll actually be able to find Banh Mi just about wherever you are in Vietnam. This baguette-style sandwich is filled with deliciously fresh ingredients, first made popular during the 19th century under French colonial rule. Pork, pat\u00e9, tofu, fish and more are just some of the choices of filling to be found, typically from street food vendors. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
