Blessed Little Travelers

Today mark the last day of our girly weekend trip. We woke up at 8am today, had breakfast and check out at 11am as we wanted to go for a last cuppa Vietnam coffee and lunch before going to the airport. We make our way to a nearby Highland Coffee and I had a iced blended green tea jelly while G chose a cup of authentic Vietnam coffee. It was sooo good as usual. My green tea jelly which is very creamy and flavourful! For lunch, we went to Pho24 as we had not tried Pho (flat noodle soup) yet for this trip. This branch is by far my favourite and their deep fried meat spring rolls are very addictive. G loves it and had second serving! http://www.pho24.com.vn Beef ball noodle soup Deep fried meat spring rolls Chicken Pho By 1pm, we took a cab and left for the airport. Airport is about 30 mins away and the cab fare is about VND100k.  The queue at the check in counter is very long :( had to queue for very long before I manage to check in.  W...

Today is a very relax day for us, we woke up late at around 9am and spend half of the day chit chat-ing over breakfast until close to noon time. Complimentary breakfast by hotel at MOF Restaurant After breakfast, we walked to a nearby family mart to get some food to bring home. After that, we went back the hotel and showered. Finally, we are out of the hotel by 1.30pm.  Initially our plan is to visit the palace but it seems a bit late now and we wanted to go Ben Thanh market again plus we have a reservation at the Sky Bar this evening so we decided to skip the palace.  So, we decided to just snap a shot of the palace from the cab since we won't be visiting it! We went to Ben Thanh Market and I bought a hat and a cap for my boy, a paper chinese style fan for my girl and G bought more dresses and some painting for her house. Some nice painting at Ben Thanh. We kinda run out of cash so we pop by a money exchange to get more Vietnam Dong. We walked aroun...

Morning Saigon! Good morning! We both had a very good sleep and it is wonderful to waking up feeling recharged! First stop today is to my favourite Banh Mi Stall. So, what is so special about this stall? Most of the Banh Mi sold in HCM uses pork meat or sausages as filling and some of them did not even heat up the cooked meat. This stall uses fish paste meat, deep fried, and top with vegetable. Lastly , their own special sauce is added and serves warm to its customer. No publicity whatsoever.  The first time I sample this banh mi is by coincidence and I could not find any blog recommending this stall and I am glad that after searching it on google map, I manage to find the location for this stall. So, after venturing out in the morning, we found this stall!  The banh mi is still very nice and even after 2 years, the price remains the same! Priced at VND 10K (SGD $0.60) , it is still the best banh mi I ever try! Not to be missed if you are visiting Ho Chih Minh...
