#Saigon City of #Vietnam has been ranked fourth among 50 best cities for #streetfood, according to a latest survey by CEOWorld.
Turns out the list was ranked based on votes from travelers who are also food lovers. According to the US’s business magazine, 92,000 business travelers and 1,400 corporate travel agents from over 86 countries and territories took part in the survey.
The survey measures the cities on four parameters: number of street food vendors, affordability, number of street food experiences, and food hygiene.
In the list, Singapore was ranked first, followed by Bangkok of Thailand and Hong Kong (China).
Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam was in the fourth while Mumbai of India was in the fifth place.
Vietnamese cuisine has become better known in the world over the last couple of years, with international chefs and prestigious food magazines praising several national dishes.
CNN last Wednesday named Vietnam’s pho noodle soup and fresh summer rolls among the world’s 50 best dishes.
Earlier this year, the cable TV channel made five recommendations for a food tour in Hanoi to foreign tourists and international reporters covering the Trump-Kim summit where the U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un found ways to advance peace on the Korean peninsula.
Vietnamese ranked among the world’s 15 favorite cuisines in a survey released earlier this year by YouGov, a British online market research company.
Some of the dishes found on street corners here have made it to all corners of the world, like banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich which has been listed in the top 20 street foods in the world by Fodor’s Travel, a U.S travel site. – VNA

Message from the editor.....
Please help to support BangkokJack News through these troubled times... Poor government reaction to the COVID virus has left many, including some who rely upon us, in very difficult positions.
And still we try to deliver the REAL news to you on a daily basis. But this all comes at a cost and as tourism has dried up and with expats going home whenever they can, income streams and ad revenue is also drying up.
And this is why we appeal to our tens of thousands of readers to help out however you can - to keep us independent and opinionated.
Just Bt100 per month makes all the difference and will keep some of us in noodle soup for a day.
Alternatively please click on the advert each time you read a story and that will boost our ad revenue, at no cost to yourself.
Thank you so much to those who already do support us. It means a lot to everyone.
