I have one Friday evening in Saigon next month - what should I do? |
Travel Info I am cycling 500km from Saigon to Angkor Temples, the first night is in a hotel in District 1, I love live music, food an drink but also need to be fit in the morning to start the cycle!! Any experience that will leave a true impression of the city on me is what I would like. Travel Tips I would go to a Vietnamese street stall, buy some shrimp pancakes (banh xeo), have some Vietnamese pork chop for dinner at a local place, then sit on a street corner watching the world go by drinking 333 beer or maybe even some of the cheap local draft beer served in a plastic bottle for just 20 cents a serve! Others I just got back from Saigon on Sunday - had a fantastic meal at Lemongrass which I THINK was on Dong Koi Street. Best Vietnamese food I've had. There's a pretty roof top bar on top of the Caravelle Hotel which does live music and cocktails, but I only spent three nights there and didn't do any clubbing or anything. I loved Lemongrass though, just gorgeous. If you're not into Vietnamese food though, there's another restaurant nearby called Jaspas which had a varied menu with nice tex-mex. Have fun, it's a great city. district 1 is a happening place-there is a club/pub called allezboo which rocks all nightand the saigon bar which is open 24 hours. it is now ho chi minh city! enjoy your trek-its a good one! If it is a totally unique and delicous meal you are after... try Com Nieu Saigon ( I think my spelling is shocking). Say hello to Madame Ngoc from me and watch out for the flying baked rice patties as they fly across the room. Brilliant night !! U can walk around SaiGon center, there are many great place around here, shops, restaurants, malls, foods.... Get drunk and go to a hostess bar. Definitely will leave u with an impression. Don't drink the water. |
