Opened as far back as 1958, Hoa Ma Bread is one of the oldest bakeries in Saigon. Initially, the bakery was located at 511 Phan Dinh Phung (now Nguyen Dinh Chieu, District 3) with a small cabinet. But only 2 years later, Hoa Ma bread moved to Cao Thang Street, District 3 and has remained until now. The name Hoa Ma bread is no stranger to Saigon people, along with the pan bread that has created the name of this restaurant. You may not know, but the owner is a Northern couple who migrated to the South. The name Hoa Ma is also taken from the name of a village on the outskirts of Hanoi. Over 60 years of development, Hoa Ma bread is always one of the top delicious dishes in Saigon that you must definitely enjoy. Although it is a very ordinary dish, but thanks to the unique way of processing, it has a special taste, so the restaurant makes many diners fascinated. Not only attracting the people of Saigon to eat, there are many foreign tourists who also want to try this long-standing pan bread. Currently, Hoa Ma shop has been maintained by 3 generations in the family. The price of a piece of pan bread is 52,000 VND, while the ready-to-go sandwich is 34,000 VND. The menu of Hoa Ma bakery is simple and unchanged. The shop serves 2 “all-in-one omelets” with pan-fried ingredients and “burgers” filled with cold meats. Drinks are equally simple, only iced coffee, milk coffee and mineral water, tea… Like a beautiful color painting, Hoa Ma pan bread has a striking combination of golden egg yolk and the eye-catching burnt red-brown color of slices of meat, sausage… Besides, bread is also a factor that makes diners fall in love. Crispy bread, thick inside, fragrant. When eating, dip it with egg yolk to make sure no one can resist. In addition, each meal also comes with extra pickles to serve without being fed up at all! Hoa Ma Bread is open from 6 to 11 hours daily. But a lot of days, the shop closes early because the diners are always crowded, so you may have to go home hungry if you come late.

Every day from 4 pm to 12 pm every day, at Xoi Man restaurant (409 Tran Phu, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City) is always crowded with customers to buy. Surely many people find it strange that around the sticky rice shop are many facilities, funeral services, even funeral homes, making the atmosphere here somewhat murky. Explaining the strange name of the dish, Mr. Luu Bao Minh, the current owner of the sticky rice shop, shared: “In the past, the restaurant was located on the corner of Nguyen Tri Phuong and Tran Phu streets, but since moving here, it is located near the funeral home. , stores that sell coffins, funeral services, and hospitals, so the shop is named like that.” The sticky rice shop is a car with a glass cabinet that looks like a bread cart that is often seen on many streets in Saigon. The pot of sticky rice is mounted on a gas stove placed in the car, the sticky rice is always smoky. Sticky rice is quite flexible, fragrant and fatty. Compared to other restaurants in the city, the address on Tran Phu street is not very prominent in taste, even less choice of side dishes than other places. However, it is not by chance that sticky rice “morgue” attracts gourmets in Saigon. According to the owner, every day people in the family will go to the market and cook by themselves from 10 am. Particularly, sausages are bought from Soc Trang, not from strange places. After buying pork sausage, it is fried and sliced ​​to taste. The shop only sells salty sticky rice, the main ingredients include: sticky rice, sausages and cotton balls. Besides, there is also onion fat and fried onions to create aroma and round taste. Where the onion fat sells, the shop will make it there because it’s ready-made, the fresh onion leaves will turn yellow and lose the characteristic pungent smell. Another plus point is that the shop also sprinkles crushed peanuts, creating a strange taste because salty sticky rice is rarely used by people. Soy sauce added to sticky rice is also mixed according to the traditional recipe. Another interesting thing is the unique way of eating sticky rice. Here, sticky rice will be wrapped in fresh banana leaves into long rolls like Tet cakes. Where customers eat, they tear banana leaves there. Never use a spoon. Explaining this way of eating, the owner said: “Because of the fear that the plastic of the spoon when meeting hot sticky rice will not be good for customers’ health”. Thanks to such a difference, in only 8 to 9 hours, all three pots of “mortar sticky rice” were quickly sold out. According to Mr. Quyen (Mr. Minh’s brother), the motorbike is the main source of income for the whole family. And with the number of customers coming to buy is too large, in order to serve customers in time, the whole family has to take turns selling continuously. With only 10,000 VND, we have in hand a delicious package of “morgue sticky rice”. With each soft, hot sticky rice. The top is covered with a layer of onion fat and heirloom soy sauce. Followed by a thick layer of scrubs, a spoonful of greasy roasted peanuts. Fried onions and pieces of red and pink sausage are placed on top, looking extremely stimulating to the taste buds.
