Located on Le Van Linh (Lê Văn Linh) street, Xom Chieu market is like other markets in Saigon, which is an eyesore from the outside, which could be described in some words like grim, grey, and bleak. This market is famous for its combination of Chinese and French architecture. Being one of the oldest markets is Saigon, behind the lovely façade, there is a mecca of the dry goods, from spices to biscuits and a canteen, which alone is also the reason to visit this market. Along the outer edge of the square of this market, there are a lot of food stalls that sell tasty street food dishes, and in the opposite side, there are vegetables and fruit stalls under the concrete slabs of the exteriors of the market. All of them burst with the colors in early sunlight. To sum up, there is a large selection of good for clients to choose from; however, you have to be good at bargaining as the local vendors will offer a high price at first. The food sold here is not only fresh but also inexpensive.

And just a heads up: the market doesn’t open until 3pm.
