Visit Ho Chi Minh for the Food!

Banh Mi Huynh Hoa is a famous banh mi shop. It was my first banh mi ever and it was good!! I liked that they separate the veggies when you order allowing me to customize it. Café Apartments' The Letter Café - there were no other people so we were able to take all the photos that we want. The interiors were so pretty. The drinks were also good. It was also my first time trying Vietnamese coffee. Second café we visited in Cafe Apartments was the Good Day Café. We were again lured by the entrance and pretty bohemian interior photos. Here we tried some unique drinks and a slice of cake. A street food we found between book street and the post office is Banh Trang Nuong or grilled rice paper tacos. This was so good! Egg, pork, cheese, and some sauce as filling makes up this delicious street food. Secret garden is a beautiful rooftop restaurant hidden in an alley, near some of the tourist spots. You have to climb a tiring amount of stairs as there’s no lift to reach the restaurant. The restaurant was packed! Everything that we ordered was good! The ambiance and décor was great. The lights gave off a whimsical feeling while dining. Would go back to this restaurant again! We had pho in Ben Tanh Market after shopping for souvenirs. We just went to the first shop that we saw and we did not regret it. The pho tasted very good. We paired it with green mango shake. The famous coconut coffee from Cong Caphe we tried near Tan Dinh Church was also one of my favorites. It’s a blended ice drink perfect for the hot weather outside. We made a reservation for Blank Lounge in Landmark81. We bought cocktails to cap off our second day. The experience was thrilling as we were seated alfresco on the 75th level of the building! Our last meal before going back to Singapore was in Saigon Center at Som Thai. Food was good. So far everything we ate in this trip were all tasty, no complaints. Maison Marou is a must visit for chocolate lovers. We bought souvenirs from here and took a break for a bit. Other food we tried that was not included here are: the breakfast and afternoon tea by the hotel, McDonalds, & Saigon Oi Café. Featured in the photos are: 1-2. Coconut coffee from Cong Caphe 3-5.
