The series, entitled Street Food, was produced by the creators of the hugely popular Netflix series Chef’s Table, and one of the nine episodes on the streaming platform focuses on street food in Ho Chi Minh City, according to the website www.eater.com.

The show will focus on the life stories of the street food hawkers of Asia, with episodes set in Japan, Thailand, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Viet Nam.

In a trailer for the series that was released on 11 April, street food hawkers from across the continent are shown cooking up various local dishes and sharing their inspiring stories of overcoming the hardships inherent with making a living on the street.

The Vietnamese episode reportedly focuses on two chefs, one who sells snails and another who cooks ‘pho’ (noodle soup). The episode will also take a look at ‘com tam’ (broken rice) and the Vietnamese sandwich ‘banh mi’.
