HCMC TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ Nha Hang Ngon Restaurant

Our other favorite place to eat is Nha Hang Ngon (another recommendation of Chie of The Nomad’s Black Book). It’s where tourists can enjoy street food without worrying about a bum tummy. According to what we’ve heard is that they gather up the best street food vendors in HCMC in one roof. Some people say that the sanitized version is not as good as the actual street food versions…but it tasted pretty darn good to me! We at here twice in one weekend. My salivary glands are in overdrive again just thinking about it hehe!

HCMC TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ Shopping for paintings

Posted on Aug 10, 2012 in HCMC Shopping | 0 comments

For cheap paintings in HCMC Vietnam, head on over to Tran Phu street in District 5. I read somewhere that this is where the locals buy their art and I wasn’t disappointed. The prices were less than half the price of the paintings we liked in Dong Khoi, so it was worth riding a cab over to this part of town. We walked someway down the street checking out many art galleries, but ended up going back to the first store we entered because it had the best selection, good quality and low prices.
