Ho Chi Minh City Unveils New Street Food Zone

Image
At the end of August 2017, Ho Chi Minh City opened the country’s first legal street food area on Nguyen Van Chiem Street in District 1. Since its opening, this street has quickly become a popular culinary destination for city residents and tourists. Sticky rice, fried noodles, dumplings, milk tea, and various other main dishes and snacks are sold at lower prices compared to restaurants. Saigonese people often add lots of vegetables and herbs, especially when eating watery dishes like noodles or Pho. Many street food dishes also include protein to balance the meal. The pilot implementation of this business model on Nguyen Van Chiem Street has provided stability for households, eliminating the need for roadside selling. This model not only ensures security and order but also enhances the urban beauty. Nguyen Van Chiem Street and Bach Tung Diep Park are part of the “Pilot Food Area for Temporary Business” project proposed by District 1 to the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City

Bank worker creates Ho Chi Minh City’s largest hydroponic farm

Image
Tuan was impressed by his experience working on land appraisal for the bank, which made him realize the challenges that farmers often face due to unfavorable weather conditions. In addition, with the shrinking land area for farming in Ho Chi Minh City every year, there is a clear need for an agricultural model that can yield high-quality products and high yields. These situations motivated Tuan to research farming and establish his own hydroponic vegetable farm, which can produce up to five times more than traditional growing methods. “After leaving my stable job and income to pursue farming, I faced great pressure from my family, but my passion drove me to ignore their concerns,” Tuan shared. Since hydroponic farming is a relatively new venture that requires significant initial investments, Tuan used his entire savings and secured additional funding from the bank. He also successfully convinced others to join his endeavors. So far, Tuan has invested over VND12 billion (US$488,600
