Each morning in Saigon started with a mango strawberry shake from a fabulous french bakery. Outside of France, Vietnam has the best freaking bread (and pastry!)
Our first night we got caught in the rain and slipped into a restaurant that had Hotpot that we've been wanting to try for a while. Due to some questionable service we got pointers from the service across from us...yes put in all the veg now, keep the lid open etc etc. Quite delicious and amazing to think it's hot broth with veg and seafood.
New Years eve was sent at a bit of an high end restaurant...all right at this point considering we've been street fooding it up any sit down restaurant would seem high end, but the prices confirmed it!
But meh you only ring in 2012 once right? So we indulged. Menu was very western (so foreign to us, especially to our stomachs now!) We had lamb wrapped in phyllo on a bed of something green and mashed. We think beans...
I had a burger...now doesn't this seem like the ultimate burger?!
One of the many drinks was called traffic light...for obvious reasons. No no not those reasons, the colours of the drink silly!
On our last night in Vietnam, Michelle and I finally discovered Vietnamese Ice coffee aka Ca she sua da. On our last night!!! Where has this been all my life?! It's a concoction of espresso and condensed milk. Hmm...maybe it's a good thing we only had a fleeting affair with this...
