Dive into the sensory riot of My Tho Central Market with a local food expert — taste bánh mì, hủ tiếu My Tho noodle soup, fresh-pressed sugarcane juice, and tropical fruits you won't find on any menu back home. The Delta on a plate.
What to expect
Begin at My Tho's bustling riverside market at 8 am, when vendors are at their liveliest and the haul of freshwater fish, exotic herbs and tropical fruits is at its peak. Your food-specialist guide navigates you through the market's maze to a decades-old hủ tiếu stall — My Tho's signature pork-and-seafood noodle soup, famous across Vietnam — then onward for sweet lotus-seed pudding and freshly pressed sugarcane juice. The tour concludes with a hands-on lesson in wrapping Vietnamese rice-paper rolls at a local home kitchen before a short walk back to the pier.
Good to know
Market is free to enter; all tastings covered in the tour price. Wear comfortable walking shoes — the market floor can be wet. Advise your guide of dietary restrictions at booking. Tour runs approximately 3 hours; ideal for a half-day port call or as a morning warm-up before an afternoon river excursion.
