Melbourne’s Little Saigon: Why Springvale Feels Like Vietnam 🇻🇳

Springvale is one of the only places in Melbourne that genuinely reminds me of Vietnam 🇻🇳 After spending the last few years travelling around Southeast Asia, I’ve really missed the energy of busy streets, cheap eats, crowded markets, people sitting outside chatting for hours, and places that just feel alive. So in this vlog, I spent a solo day exploring Springvale, often known as Melbourne’s Little Saigon, a community with lots of Vietnamese! Come spend the day with me as I eat one of my favourite Vietnamese dishes bánh cuốn, explore the local food markets and street life, people watch with a sugarcane juice, and get an incredibly cheap haircut and end the day with some dessert! If you enjoy Melbourne food vlogs, Vietnamese food, Asian street food culture, Springvale restaurants, solo travel style videos, check out this video :) #vietnamesefood #melbourne #foodvlog ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi there!
