Night falls across Saigon and the city changes gear: neon reflects on wet pavement, motorbikes thread like shoelaces through alleys, and the scent of lemongrass and caramelized sugar rides the warm air. On a four-hour scooter tour led by a local student, riders move through Districts 1, 3, 4 and 10, stopping at hawker stalls, markets and apartment rooftops to sample bun bo hue, banh mi, grilled oysters and flan.
