City Chomp Box: HCMC Edition – Door Creative’s Souvenir Recipe

When asked what represents Ho Chi Minh City, Door Creative was in a lively debate that could rival any street hustle. This question was as complex as the city, bursting with diverse cultures, personalities, and cuisines. After many lively discussions and a couple of bánh mì breaks, we realized the answer was right under our noses – street food. From then on, the City Chomp Box: Ho Chi Minh City Edition was born.

Inspired by Japanese sweet gift boxes and the traditional Vietnamese mess kit, the Chomp Box is a fresh take on the classic souvenir. The packaging design is flight-friendly and perfect for Saigon lovers who want to take a bite out of the city. Packed with popular street foods like gỏi khô bò (green papaya salad with beef jerky), cá viên chiên (fried fish balls), bắp xào (stir-fried corn), and nước mía (sugarcane juice), this box delivers a culinary adventure in every layer. Each snack is carefully selected and packed with love, just waiting to be devoured.

But wait, there’s more! The Chomp Box isn’t just about the food. The packaging, made from eco-friendly materials like bamboo, paper, and sugarcane pulp, is both sturdy and sustainable. The real showstopper? It doubles as a DIY stool, perfect for recreating that authentic sidewalk café experience wherever you are.

Wrapped in Midnight Blue and City Pink, the Chomp Box captures the contrasting hues of Ho Chi Minh City’s nightlife – the calm of the night sky and the electric buzz of neon signs. Topping it all off is an elegant isometric line-art illustration that highlights Saigon’s iconic landmarks, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.

Door Creative’s conceptual project isn’t just another souvenir, it’s an experience, a story, and a slice of Ho Chi Minh City’s vibrant culture, all neatly packed into a stylish, reusable box. With the City Chomp Box, every unboxing is an adventure – a chance to savor the city’s flavors and take home a piece of its soul.

So, what are you waiting for? Say hello to the Chomp Box – the ultimate, tasty memento of Ho Chi Minh City!
