Gourmet Tips #3 : HCMC

If any of you should happen to be in central Ho Chi Minh City and want to sample good Vietnamese food in a nice, clean environment, check out this place "LEMONGRASS" on Nguyen Thiep Street. That's just off Dong Khoi Street (in District 1), and within 3 minutes walk from the Sheraton Saigon Hotel.



Here's what it looks like inside. Quite cosy.

Many of the dishes are delicious but I would recommend the Pho (either beef or chicken) and the Sampler Dish (I can't remember the name, but here's a picture of my order the previous time I was there).



The prices at this place are very reasonable too.

Happy dining ...
