Sua Bap/Sua ngo – everyone can find the most nourishing food in a Vietnamese kitchen or food stall in Saigon’s street. Wise and true. Some of the dishes I love the most come from my mother. This drink is very versatile. If you want to make it completely dairy-free, simply add more almonds, or substitute the milk with rice milk.

If you would like to try it, you can find it easily on the street of Saigon or you can go with us to be a local with Scooter Saigon Sightseeing & Local Street food Tour.
