Revisit to Ho Chi Minh Vietnam, Nov 2013 (Part 2)

War Remnants museum, is a place to understand how Vietnamese peoples went through during Vietnam war.

 

Photo of " napalm girl ", you can read more here..

 

Reunification Palace

During our visit, there was a Canon's photography exhibition, many awesome photos were display here..

Frankly, nothing much to see inside here actually..

 

The green surrounding outside has better view 

 

I just wonder how they manage these electric wires..

 

Ben Thanh market 

 

The main purpose to visit Ben Thanh market was to get some "Fu' and "Hi" chops, you can get these type of chop at the stall where they selling all kind of bakery items..

 

I feel this shop given more reasonable price if compare to others ...

 

Revisit to Ashima - mushroom hot pot, you may check my old post here

Ashima

35A Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Dist 1, HCMC.

Tel: 848 3824 1966

Every time I told my daughter and mother how good was this mushroom hotpot, and told them one day I will bring them to try out..This time I keep my promise, bring them to try out..

We went to the old place, but realized that they have actually shifted to somewhere else. Luckily we found their new place..



Many types of mushroom to choose from..

We still prefer to order beef slices to go with mushroom hotpot. My kids and mother were really enjoyed this hotpot. But my husband and I feel the taste somehow not that good anymore..

Anyway, if you have never tasted mushroom hotpot before (I haven't see this type of restaurant here), this is still a place to try out..

 

Captured this photo when we were on the way to try out Banh Xeo..normal to see this type of scene in Ho Chi Minhwith many peoples on motorcycle..

 

Banh Xeo 46A

46A D Dinh Cong Trang | District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam



 

 

A Banh Xeo place that made famous by Anthony Bourdain (No reservation) , you can watch the video here..

 

Learnt a tip from here, pour out the excess batter so you can have thin and crispy Banh Xeo..

 

Dipping sauce and veggie to go with Banh Xeo

 

Ya, their Banh Xeo was really crispy but a bit oily. If I look at my Banh Xeo, i think I have added too much of turmeric powder as its look too yellow. 

 

 

We also ordered this deep fried soft shell crabs

 

and authentic Vietnamese coffee..

 

I went to this wet market, but sorry i couldn't recall the name..

 

French bread is so common here, even you can find it at wet market..

 

I bought pumpkin flowers from here, to make stuffed pumpkin flowers 

 

My mother bought this Thien Ly Xao Bo (Thousand miles flowers)

At the end of the street at this market, turned left and you can find two shops selling bakery ingredients (located at the 1st floor), where you can get the chops here too..at fixed and reasonable price..

Phuong Ha at 58 Ham Nghi St., District 1

- A new discovery of eating place after saw Esther's review..

This restaurant also made famous by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt when they brought their adopted children back to Vietnam as to let them get to know their country where they were born.



kitchen area..

their old collections..

 

A very thick menu , like a book..

Use kangkong stem (water morning-glory) as a straw, something very new to me. very interesting ^_^

Anyway, the price for a fruit juices like this is almost equal to a plate of dish..rather expensive!! 

 

Everything we ordered were very delicious. I will be back to this restaurant if i will re-visit HCM again..

 

When my mother saw all these broken bowls and plates that they used., she said "Choy Choy, for Chinese only beggar use broken bowls", LOL..I told her that this is new fashion ,hehehe..

End of my update..Thanks for dropping by..
