Ultimate Saigon Shopping Guide (Ben Thanh Market, Saigon Square, and More)

Get the ultimate guide to souvenir shopping in Saigon! From Ben Thanh Market to hidden gems, discover unique souvenirs and gifts in Vietnam's vibrant city. Explore Maison Marou, Ninh Khuong Dong, Antique Street, and more for the perfect memento of your trip.
Historic Ben Thanh Market is a must visit! Filled with everything you can ever imagine. Saigon Square is full of designer replicas (and has air conditioning!). Bep Me is the perfect lunch break right by the markets! This Michelin Bib restaurant has INCREDIBLE banh xeo and coconut fried rice! For dessert (and delicious dessert souvenirs) we head to Saigon's very own chocolate factory. Maison Marou has incredible chocolate! The bars and chocolate drink are the perfect souvenir!!! We visit Antique Street for a walk through historic souvenirs, before heading to Saigon Kitsch, a cute boutique with fixed prices. Ninh Khuong Dong for unique hand embroidered gifts, and of course Starbucks for a classic coffee mug. Our last stop is Mockingbird Cafe in the "other" cafe apartments where we buy Vietnamese coffee to take home!

Welcome to madventure, we're MADison and iVEN (okay it is spelled Ivan, but pronounced like VENture) a husband and wife living the adventure we have been dreaming of, despite the fact that it makes us sound completely mad. For us that looks like traveling full time and starting our own businesses.
For Madison, a former reality TV producer, the dream is the madventure community, connecting people through travel, experiencing new cultures, and trying the best foods from carts, stands and restaurants all over the world. She hopes to encourage others to follow their maddest most adventurous dreams, whatever they may be! For Ivan, a former NASA engineer, it is creating an engineering product that will change the world! Travel and food are two of our biggest passions, so on this channel we will be traveling the world, and staying awhile to experience what life is actually like living other places. We're excited to have you on board for the delicious, culture filled, madventurous times that will ensue! Let's madventure! xoxo
