Vegan rice paper

A street cart on the walking street canal-side, serving Vietnamese rice paper ‘pizza’ – the local name for bánh tráng nướng, a thin crispy rice paper base loaded with toppings and grilled to order. The owner knows the difference between vegetarian and vegan (not as common as you’d hope), so you can actually trust what you’re ordering. Vegan version skips the egg and seafood without fuss.

The setup is simple: a few seats, canal breeze in the evening, and a friendly owner who will remember your face and your order if you come back. There’s also a dog named Mickey, which is reason enough to visit twice.

Prices are firmly in snack territory – 30,000 VND gets you one. It’s a quick bite, not a meal, but it’s the kind of thing you’ll want a second round of.
