Ho Chi Minh City - This seafood restaurant with make shift tents only opens at night for dinner and I have been coming here since my very first trip to Saigon. I would think the price here is a bit pricey but the waiters speaks English and the food is fresh; even though it could be consider street corner food.

| Fresh Spring Rolls |
I must have this Vietnamese gastronomic dish - fresh spring rolls.....
 |
| Vietnamese coconut drink |
I thin the pinnacle of coconut fruit drink is the Thai young coconut drink - it is succulent and sweet. But the Vietnamese coconut comes the closet in so far I have tasted across countries.
 |
| Bowl of boiled snails |
This boiled snails are cooked with citronella. Yes, that was stated on the menu but Citronella plant is not edible and it is also called mosquito plant - the scent aparently drives mosquitoes crazy. But Citronella is a close relative of the Lemongrass plant. So, it should be boiled with Lemongrass. Nevertheless, the taste of the snails (or escagoes) are lovely.
 |
| Crabs fried with garlic |
Medium sized mud crabs nicely cooked - average it terms of the crabs dishes I have tasted at least better than the crab I had in Cebu.
 |
| Deep-fried Elephant Fish |
The taste of the elephant fish is flavourless but with the delicious Vietnamese sauces, the dish comes alive. You have to wrapped the fish with basil, lettuce onto the paper wrap into a spring roll and pop it in your mouth. A very fresh and delicious meal....all this for a 991,000 dong bill (SGD 58).
