Street Food: (nameless) bánh tráng cuốn





Favored
Delicious, convenient
Rice paper, eggs, vegetables
A rare pork-free example of a common street food.
a nameless banh trang cuon cart


"Banh trang cuon" means "rice paper rolls."
The contents vary from shop to shop, but this place is my favorite.

Conveniently located on the corner of Snack Street and Waffle Street, across from Com Tam 68.
They open around 2:30 PM.

Street Food: (nameless) bún thịt nướng




Enticing
Cheap, delicious
Grilled pork, grilled "nem" sausage, sandwiches
It smelled so good that we had to stop when we drove past.
a nameless bun thit nuong cart


("bun thit nuong" is grilled pork on a bed of noodles)

Location is approximate.  The cart is on the south side of the river.

Groceries (Vegetarian): Thiện Từ Tâm



Legitimate
Varied, suitable
Instant meals, ingredients, snacks
This is where you buy vegetarian food that ISN'T just fake meat.
Thien Tu Tam


This is another (rare) example of a business Google knows about.

Soup: Mai Súp Cua



Exceptional
Delicious, healthy
Just sup cua!
One of the top five best soup places I have ever eaten.
Mai Sup Cua



Note: She opens around 3:00 PM, but she often sells out by 7:00 PM.

This is a street cart on the east side of CMT8, a little bit north of a roundabout.
