Although initial hesitance lingered in the air due to the lack of bustling crowds, my decision to venture forth proved rewarding. What awaited me at the alley’s end was nothing short of a seafood banquet that encapsulated the quintessential Saigon street food experience.
As I traversed the shadowy passage, an array of street food stalls materialized, proudly showcasing an assortment of seafood offerings. This tableau epitomized the heart and soul of Saigon’s vibrant street food scene.
Oc Loan shone as just one luminary among these culinary treasures in a constellation of street food stalls. Its positive acclaim on Google Maps attracted my attention, and I soon found myself immersed in a culinary adventure. The aroma of grilling snails and clams over charcoal danced through the air, an appetizing symphony.
