Think you know fish sauce? Think again. This is Saigon’s first-ever craft fish sauce tasting, and it’s nothing like you’d expect. You’ll dive into the bold, fermented world of Vietnam’s most iconic (and misunderstood) condiment, with a guided flavor journey through four different fish sauces, each paired with surprising snacks that bring out their unique personalities. Think mango, spring roll, cheese, and even ice cream (yes, really). It’s funky, umami-rich, and a total game-changer for food lovers.Unlike any standard tasting or street food tour, this experience digs deep into the craft and culture behind fish sauce—led by a warm, food-mad local host in an intimate setting. You’ll taste small-batch sauces made using wild-caught anchovies and fermented the slow, traditional way. One even comes from an experimental series that includes smoked and pepper-infused versions. This is more than just a tasting—it's a fresh lens into Vietnamese cuisine, heritage, and innovation.Perfect for bold, curious foodies who live for discovering strange-but-delicious flavours. If you're the kind of person who gets excited by blue cheese, craft spirits, or anything a bit weird and wonderfully smelly—this fish sauce tasting will hit the spot.What to ExpectGuided tasting of 4 artisanal fish sauces, including experimental varieties like smoked and pepper-infused versionsEach fish sauce is paired with a themed tasting snack—from classic spring rolls to unusual pairings cheese and ice creamExplore the differences between mass-produced vs. premium fish sauce through blind tastingsHosted by a friendly local food expert passionate about Vietnam’s modern and traditional food sceneLearn the cultural and historical significance of fish sauce while sampling it in new, exciting ways
