food and durian
it is so very funny, that i was scrolling scrolling mindlessly down a forum page looking for the word typhoon then i stopped at this message:I've just arrived in Ho Chi Minh. :-)
Can anyone recommend some eating places within walking distance from Notre Dame Cathedral?
Ta!
maybe its the word eating coupled with Notre Dame that made me stop, but seconds later, i saw the poster's name. s/he was timtams.
well, more importantly, the answers:
1. Make sure you go to Quan An Ngon rest near ReUnification Palace ( 138D Nam Ky Khoi Nghia) - we had best meal of trip there in Oct 2006 usually jammed with vietnemese eating there too which is a really good sign!
2.There's also Au Parc, just round the corner at 23 Han Thuyen, small deli come brasserie, one of my lunchtime staples

3. Yeap, Ngon Res. (138D Nam Ky Khoi Nghia)is rather a nice place to try Vietnamese dishes.
Besides, "Bun Ta" is a good replacement if you cannot find a seat at "Ngon"
:-). It's just next door to Ngon Res.
Dishes are not as various as Ngon's but the decoration is nice and Wifi is available.
ok im i/c of food ok.
but i do have a bad feeling about the waters. very early, when liqi said she wanted to row down mekong, i felt a chill. now the Durian hits, doesnt help tt its such a Singaporean reference.
