Devoid of flashy gifts or trendy attire, it’s places like Hồ Thị Kỷ Night Market that have become indispensable embellishments when talking about Saigon. Established since 1987, Hồ Thị Kỷ Night Market is often referred to as the “Langbiang Plateau amidst Saigon.” It is the largest wholesale flower market in the city, supplying nearly all types of flowers from Hanoi, the Mekong Delta, and most notably from Dalat. The fresh blooms such as daisies, marigolds, Dalat roses, sunflowers… are so alluring that visitors can’t help but gaze in admiration.

It’s unclear when this place became a culinary haven, with numerous eateries popping up side by side. Here, you can find European-Asian dishes or specialties from any region. Particularly, it attracts a large number of customers because it offers many delicacies that are hard to find elsewhere. The busiest drink stall in the market is Chú Tũn’s peach tea with fruit chunks. Each glass of peach tea here is incredibly cheap, only 10,000 VND, and is brewed to perfection. Although there are many places selling peach tea with fruit chunks in the market, this is the original and most famous spot! The most buzzworthy dish in the Hồ Thị Kỷ market is undoubtedly the crispy chicken meatball skewers with sauce. If you want to buy them, be prepared to queue for… an hour before it’s your turn! The chicken here is boneless, coated in crispy batter, then topped with either spicy Korean-style sauce or creamy sauce according to the customer’s preference.

10. Dinh Cau Night Market

Dinh Cau Night Market is one of the most attractive and popular spots on Phu Quoc Island. Situated in the central area of Dong Duong town, along Vo Thi Sau Street leading to the famous Dinh Cau landmark, it was established and operated since September 2007. However, due to lack of proper investment, especially in waste collection and sewage systems, over time, this market gradually lost its beauty and had an impact on environmental sanitation. So, after nearly 10 years of operation, in November 2016, the People’s Committee of Phu Quoc District (Kien Giang) officially closed down Dinh Cau Night Market, relocating it to a new area nearby, merging with Bach Dang Night Market to form a combined area named Phu Quoc Night Market. However, despite the change, many people still affectionately refer to this bustling night market by its familiar name, Dinh Cau.

Activities at Dinh Cau Night Market usually start from 5 PM, closing at 11 PM, and on special occasions, the market operates until 2-3 AM. Stretching about 400 – 500m with around 100 stalls, although the operating hours are not too long, this market still attracts crowds due to its delicious and unique dishes. The market is divided into two areas: the dining area and the shopping area. And undoubtedly, the dining area is always the busiest with blazing charcoal stoves, fresh seafood, enticing dishes, and irresistible fragrances that captivate tourists.
