Reading list · rechecked 2026

Vietnam Blogs and Websites

The original list had more than thirty links. Most of those blogs have stopped, moved or been taken over by spam, so this keeps only the ones we found live in October 2026.

Food

  • Viet World Kitchen is a California-based site of Vietnamese recipes and food writing, and it is still updated.

Life in Vietnam

  • Saigon Nezumi is an expat IT writer’s view of Saigon. The newest posts we saw date from 2021, but the archive still reads well.
  • The Comical Hat is a long-running blog on life in Hanoi.
  • The Final Word is Jon Hoff’s blog; the latest post we found is from 2023.
