Having written virtually all the marvellous nutrient nosotros ate whilst inward Hanoi here's some other post service from my married adult man virtually the nutrient nosotros ate inward Ho Chi Minh City on our whistle halt visit. You tin follow him on Twitter at @asksirstamford
After our really slowly arrival on Fri nighttime (much after than planned) too a morning time of exploring, for Sabbatum tiffin nosotros visited Nha Hang Ngon. This is some other branch of the chain nosotros visited on our get-go nighttime inward Hanoi. It was 1 time to a greater extent than a serial of hawker type stalls serving a multifariousness of local dishes, dissimilar from Hanoi though G miles to the north, amongst the dishes typically beingness spicier than their northern cousins. We chose fresh restrain rolls (called salad rolls hither inward the south), differing from the northern version inward that the peanut sauce had chili inward it. We also had a dried beef too light-green papaya salad which was fresh too a piddling spiced. The possessor of this weblog chose chicken skewers, whilst I ordered the chili squid, served amongst a piddling love apple tree salad. The eating theater is inward District One, close the Reunification Palace, the Ho Chi Minh Museum too the War Museum (I'm afraid I'm non inward the slightest flake interested inward the country of war thus visited none of that). We had made our agency to tiffin after visiting the rooftop bar of the manful mortal monarch Hotel, amongst its kitsch dancing elephants. This was the site of the Americans Five O’clock Follies, where country of war fourth dimension propaganda was disseminated inward the 1960s too 1970s too from where the terminal defeated American helicopter left from. Before that we'd been to the observation Saigon skydeck of the Bitexco Financial Tower that gave us a bird’s oculus sentiment of the metropolis from on high.

For dinner nosotros decided to endeavor a eating theater that was recommended / mentioned inward the Lonely Planet conduct too also had reasonable Trip Advisor reviews, although the 1 maxim it was total of ‘merchant bankers’ also did pose us off slightly. The house was called the Temple Club (so named every bit it was reverse a Hindu temple), downward a side route inward District One too was 1 time to a greater extent than located inward a quondam colonial villa. The upstairs dining room was exquisitely decorated amongst spiritual artefact's, such every bit fresco's, wooden plaques too statues of the Buddha etc., which complimented the extensive menu, all menus inward Vietnam seemed to last enormous amongst far also much choice. We guild a tasting platter to start too a pair of primary dishes too a bottle of Chilean wine. The Temple Platter contained 4 fundamental elements, including fresh too fried restrain rolls (again), rolled beef too a salad roll. The highlight of the repast was the caramel pork hotpot, which was pork covered inward sickly sweetness sauce which was accompanied amongst exceptional fried rice (with pocket-size prawns) too a chili chicken dish. All the nutrient was dandy too the atmosphere lovely. The nighttime was rounded off amongst a Saigon Beer inward our hotel bar.

The side yesteryear side day, after a rather warm morning time wander only about the Botanical too Zoological Gardens (it was hot too the animals were caged inward appalling conditions) nosotros decided over java to get got upwards some other recommendation (from our friend who writes the dandy blog, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 British Girl Abroad) too become to Cuc Gach Quan restaurant. This is also allegedly inward District One yesteryear taxi but it was inward the dorsum of beyond too would never last flora without local help. The eating theater is downward a backstreet, 1 time to a greater extent than inward what was termed every bit a French villa too 1 time to a greater extent than had an overly extensive card (described every bit what a local household unit of measurement would typically eat). With assist from the splendid waiter nosotros chose a reveal of dishes too had to assure him that I was really very hungry every bit nosotros ordered many dishes (he likely idea that I was a big fatty pig).
As green nosotros had fresh too fried restrain rolls, too 1 time to a greater extent than these were really good. I beloved the contrast 1 gets from the fresh ones against the compaction of the fried example. Alongside this nosotros had a bacon too lemongrass pocket-size dish, which was deep fried lardons of pork inward a spicy chili too lemongrass dressing, a chicken, chili tabular array salt dish amongst boiled chicken bones amongst associated flesh to last dipped inward a salt, chili too lime mixture amongst a component of fried rice too Vietnamese sauteed vegetables. Being a greedy glutton I also ordered a fish hotpot, which was deliciously spicy but a piddling fiddly amongst the bones, it did nevertheless compliment the rice perfectly. The eating theater was splendid too upwards at that spot amongst the best nosotros went to all week, I’d sure enough recommend it too may provide side yesteryear side fourth dimension I move to Saigon for work.

The calendar week was rounded off amongst a pint or 2 inward a branch of Brotzeit, higher upwards the Hard Rock Cafe, too side yesteryear side to the Intercontinental Hotel, this is a dandy hotel to remain at having stayed at that spot previously for work. As is the 1 nosotros selected for our brief stay, the Sofitel Saigon Plaza.
Both Hanoi too Ho Chi Minh City offered a huge multifariousness of dissimilar too delicious dishes. We did non get got anything disappointing, but too thus I never actually expected us to either. I can't hold off to return!
