Rolls hold a special place at the Vietnamese table, wrapped in tradition and passed down through generations. Beyond the well known spring roll lies a whole world of savory, herb packed variations that most visitors never get to taste, and this ride sets out to uncover them. Climb aboard a 1970s Vespa for a rustic, flavour filled journey that begins with a century old Chinese Vietnamese specialty roll, its filling of cured meat and fresh vegetables wrapped by your own hands and dipped in a signature house sauce. The ride continues to a beloved steamed rice roll kitchen, where four different homemade dipping sauces bring out entirely different sides of the same dish, before venturing deeper into Saigon’s lively back alleys for one more roll variation, layered with grilled meats and a generous handful of fresh herbs. The evening closes on a quieter note, at the home of one of Saigon’s oldest Chinese Vietnamese families, over a warm cup of tea, a nostalgic childhood treat, and stories passed down through generations. A delicious, hands on dive into a side of Vietnamese food culture most people never see.
