What people say

  • An intimate experience in an unexpected location - where the food and ambiance took centre stage, and getting to share the meal with a group of like-minded people was a close second. Despite living in Saigon since 2020, the experience allowed me to explore the hidden depths of Saigon's food culture in a grounded, personal way. I enjoyed it so much, I’ve been twice.

    Debby Wong, Singapore (been twice)

  • The ‘Friendsgiving’ superperclub epitomized what I love about life in Saigon: bringing together people from all over the world for fun, engaging conversations, over a delicious meal.

    David Kolko

  • Jovel has an amazing knowledge of food and the local dining scene, and a local's perspective on the culture, the people, the history, and the current vibe of the city. I wish I could find this kind of tour in every city that I visited! My favourite highlight was all of Jovel's food picks, which gave the full HCMC experience. If I had more time I would have done every single tour offered by Delicious Detours!

    Maria G, Canada

  • Fun, creative and memorable, a very special experience!

    Ascend Vietnam Ventures, Corporate Anniversary Dinner

  • I had the most delicious weekend, starting with a delectable dining experience by inside a farmhouse by Chef Thach Ta. The food was fabulous and highlights modern Vietnamese cuisine!

ABOUT JOVEL CHAN

Jovel has been keeping her finger on the pulse of Vietnam’s fast-evolving food and drink scene since 2020

Since then, she has been discovering and writing all things food and drink on her blog and for international magazines like Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia.

Today, her food tours and experiences bring all the untouched hidden gems, stories, and bars to life as she continues her mission to spotlight Vietnam’s food & drink scene beyond Banh Mi and Pho.
