A street barbecue with a lot of atmosphere. In the hot weather, the small charcoal stove was sizzling as the meat was grilled, and the fan was blowing. The only thing that could relieve the stuffiness was ice beer. The environment was a bit poor, but the hygiene was okay, the atmosphere was lively enough, and it was a store worth experiencing.
We ordered octopus, chicken wings, beef, shrimp, and 3 cups of coke, totaling 704,000, about 205 RMB. The taste was OK. For a coastal city, seafood was not a big surprise. It was a bit hot in the open air with only a few fans. Everyone must check the quantity of drinks and dishes.

Highlights:
Popular local, and internet-famous, authentic Vietnamese breakfast eatery
Verified user reviews
One of the oldest French bakeries in Saigon, with a history of more than 60 years.
Their bread retains the most traditional flavor. The bread is really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, not the kind of French bread that is hard to chew and hard. Many people come to this store not only to taste the famous Banh Mi, but also to recall the taste of old Saigon.
Their bread ingredients are just a few, and it tastes better when you sit there to eat, especially the fried egg with some sausages, ham, etc. With the hot sauce and the kimchi they attached, you can really eat two pieces of bread. A portion of two eggs + mixed sausages, ham and meat slices also costs more than 50,000 yuan, but there is a long queue for breakfast early in the morning.
Banh Mi Hoa Ma is a restaurant that deserves full praise. It has a bilingual menu in Chinese and English, so ordering is not difficult at all, and the food tastes pretty good.

The refinery This restaurant has great food!
It's easy to find, especially convenient to ride the yellow bike! The rose latte is delicious! As for the cake, it's OK! Hehe, but there are a lot of old-fashioned collections downstairs in this store (I don't really understand), which is super suitable for taking pictures📷!
This French restaurant is well-known among Western tourists, so English communication is not a problem for the waiters in the restaurant. In fact, this restaurant is famous for its brunch. The environment is very good and the tableware is exquisite.

Blank Lounge Landmark is very cost-effective. Although the average cost per person is slightly higher, it is definitely worth the money, especially when you enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food at high altitude, your mood will become particularly good!
As the highest sky lounge in Vietnam, Blank Lounge Landmark offers exquisite cocktails and snacks. Their signature cocktails are especially recommended for their unique taste!

Vietnamese sandwiches are often lined up, and the ingredients are very rich, with some cheese, beef, fried fragrant cubes and sausages. I specially took a picture of the price list and business hours for your reference.
Although there is no dine-in service in the store, the basic hygiene is clean.
I personally think the portion is very sufficient and the taste is good. I strongly recommend the Vietnamese baguette sandwich and pork sausage.
But I think the crystal braised pork and steak are just okay, not too amazing.
There were still many people queuing up at night. 35,000 yuan each (about 10 yuan), with a lot of ingredients, such as ham, pork floss, cucumber, onion, etc., and butter and chicken liver pate (I know it's fat). The bread was baked very crispy and the taste was very rich. The only bad thing was that the chili was too spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, you must tell them not to put chili! I originally thought that I could save it for breakfast tomorrow, but I finished it in less than ten minutes and now I am full and satisfied.

Vietnamese pancakes are really crispy and delicious! Mango salad with fries is also very good. When you don't know how to match the wraps, the staff will come to explain.
As a restaurant with a rating of 4.9, the dishes are not only delicious, but also almost the same as the pictures, which will definitely not disappoint you!

Fat Mom Kitchen is hidden in the alley next to the Penang Market. It provides food from all over North, Central and South Vietnam. All food is fresh and healthy, without MSG. The dining environment is very clean and comfortable, with a pastoral style that is very characteristic of the Vietnamese countryside. There are a variety of specialties here, and the key is that every dish is delicious. For example, the coconut fried rice actually has crispy coconut meat in it, which is really delicious. The shrimp cake vermicelli (Vietnamese pizza) is fragrant and crispy, and you can't stop eating it! The cold banana flower salad is very refreshing and suitable as an appetizer. The simple Vietnamese spring rolls are crispy and delicious, which is very amazing. Every dish is of such a high standard.
