Foreign tourists flock to Vietnam’s first banh mi festival
Foreign visitors queued for over 15 minutes on Thursday to enjoy banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) at the country’s first festival to honor the popular street food.
I’ve tried Vietnamese banh mi twice and love it,” she said. “Vietnamese banh mi is the best.”
The festival, which has 120 pavilions set up by restaurants, bakeries and domestic and foreign suppliers, is organized by the Vietnam Tourism Association and the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism at HCMC’s Cultural House in District 1.
The festival will last until Sunday.
