Lonely Planet review

This market and its surrounding streets make up one of the city's liveliest areas. Everything that's commonly eaten, worn or used by the Saigonese is available here: vegetables, meats, spices, sweets, tobacco, clothing, household items, hardware and so forth. There's also a healthy selection of souvenir-worthy items.

Ben Thanh Market has the best prices and widest selection of both regular and weasel coffee. Weasel coffee ( ca phe chon ) is part of the signature Trung Nguyen brand. These coffee beans are fed to weasels first, then harvested from their droppings before being sold to you. Brew and enjoy.
