Handicrafts in Saigon

Vietnamese handicrafts are detailed and one-of-a-kind. Lacquerware and coconut dinnerware are particularly popular in Vietnam. Bowls, plates, spoons, and chopsticks make wonderful gifts and decor! Fabric compositions with pathwork and threatwork embroidery are also available. If you favor wood, the handcrafted wooden boats and sculptures that are frequently sold at markets may appeal to you.

Paintings in Saigon.

Many art galleries in Ho Chi Minh City showcase the most talented local painters. Visit the "painting street" for replicas of famous works of art or original paintings by lesser-known painters. There is not one, but two streets crammed with art galleries! Painting stores in District 5 attract more locals than those in District 1.

Dried food in Saigon

Dried food is another item that you can take home with you. Dried foods come in a variety of flavors, ranging from salty to spicy to sweet. Dried squid, dried beef, and a variety of dried fruits such as jackfruit, coconut, and banana are arguably the most popular in Ho Chi Minh City. However, you should be aware that bringing animal-related products back to your home country may be prohibited.

These foods are sold under a variety of brand names. When you're in a supermarket or market, you'll see a lot of these. The majority of them are good, but shop owners can help you choose the ideal one. At Ben Thanh Market, another spot where you may find wonderful snacks or cuisine to eat, Dried food is frequently sold in bulk rather than pre-packaged, in contrast to what is sold in supermarkets. You can buy in grams and have the sellers measure and pack everything later. This is a great suggestion for a one-of-a-kind present because it allows you to sample Vietnamese cuisine.

Antiques in Saigon

Just outside Ben Thanh market, try antiques street (also known as Le Cong Kieu street).

Money, stamps, military relics, ivory or bone figures, and other items are among the items on display.
