222 228 Lê Thánh Tôn, Phường Bến Thành, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam   It was so good that I almost fell asleep. 2025-01-02 THU The last activity of the day. We came back to  Ben Thanh Market  to visit the massage shop next to  Tung's Restaurant  where we had dinner. Now you can easily find Halal food everywhere, even in Seoul. We've taken basic foot massage for 40 minutes. It was so good that I almost fell asleep. back to Ho Chi Minh (2025.1)

23 Pasteur, Phường Nguyễn Thái Bình, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam   Good Mi quang with local price. Kind staff speaks English. 2025-01-02 THU "Mi Quang is a Vietnamese noodle dish originating from Quang Nam province, characterized by its flavorful broth, turmeric-infused rice noodles, and diverse toppings, including shrimp, pork, chicken, quail eggs, and various fresh herbs. It's a popular dish served during special occasions and family gatherings, known for its unique combination of textures and tastes." Korean fied chicken in Saigon. I was disappointed with  Saigon Square Shopping Mall  and touristic internationlized restaurants here, so walked to a more traditional area. I almost passed this restaurant but came back after recognizing 'Mi Quang' on the sign. I've tried it in Hoi An and it was very interesting, especially the crispy chips in noodle soup. I think I've found a right place. The outdoor tables were all occupied, but our table also had a quite...

(Ho Chi Minh) Saigon Square Shopping Mall ★★★

이미지
77-89 Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa, Phường Bến Thành, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam   expensive but well-airconditioned. 2025-01-02 THU Walk-off meal shopping. There were yet skyscrapers the last time when I was here 7 years ago, but was it such a metrocity like this? Tons of motorcycles remind me that it's still Saigon. We've checked out the Saigon Square shopping mall, but the prices were not attractive. Good to cool down in a well-airconditioned building though. back to Ho Chi Minh (2025.1)

Ben Thanh Market (Chợ Bến Thành) ★★★

Ben Thanh, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam   Big market with interesting items, but too crowded and many tout. 2025-01-02 THU The market itself is big and packed with many shops in small streets like a maze. You can be easily lost. That's my shirt that I've bought from my friend in a flea market! Did he buy it in Vietnam? The front of the market seemed to be a popular photo zone. durian 150k The whole durian so expensive that I wonder how many locals enjoy this fruitish thing. There was no price tag and we just picked up with a strategy to find out how much it is by watching the money being paid by other customers. The kind owner even brought a chair for her to sit down enjoying durian. No kiss for an hour. A home-made alcohol that may turn you into a Superman. Try to find Dieo dien trang if you can. Coffee seemed to one of the best sellers as Vietnamese coffee is famous. And you import pear from Korea? back to Ho Chi Minh (2025.1)

(Ho Chi Minh) Tung's Restaurant ★★★★

230 Lê Thánh Tôn, Phường Bến Thành, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh 700000, Vietnam   Vietnamese food with good service and a bit higher price.  2025-01-02 THU Somehow I already miss Vung Tau. I was disappointed by  Ben Nghe Street Food , and walked further down to south. That's my bank.  Checking out massage prices. I just followed ones with good Google reviews. However I wanted something more local but began to feel that it'd become dangerous if she gets more hungry. Frankly the menu was not interesting, but I came up with the choice of Bun cha that never fails, and Caramelized pork that I've never tried in Vietnamese style. However, I just found out that this restaurant is also based on Chinese food according to Google Maps, so it could be still Chinese cusine. Huda Beer 49k Suddenly 49k felt super expensive for Saigon. For the same price I tried something new. I didn't leave any note, so probably it was not much special. Thit lon kho trung 185k Caramelized pork with egg Bett...
