Before traveling to Vietnam I would like to make a list of some cheep street food or some basic dishes that are must-try in HCMC, including some street snacks and small bites (e.g. like a "fried banana" or "mu-ping" would be for Bangkok).
Once in HCMC life will get hectic, so I want to be prepared to hit the ground running. Could you help me to put some of the street food on my list and share your experiences? It would also help if you could advise me on the expected price, so I don't get cheated on too much.
