Besides the stars of Vietnamese cuisine like broken rice, banh mi, and pho, Muslim delicacies can also be a highlight of your Vietnam travel. In recent years, as the fast growth of tourism and Islamic tourists coming from Malaysia and Indonesia, more and more Halal restaurants have been opened in Ho Chi Minh City. Most halal food and halal shops can be found on Nguyen An Ninh Street in District 1.
Before we start, here’s some information for those who may need it: In Islamic rules, Halal means “permission” which says that all the food a Muslim consumes must be aligned with what is written in the Quran. The most important rules are no pork and no heavy alcohol drink (low-alcohol drink is not unlawful).
