Some Vietnam food we eat

Well, being in Vietnam for 2 weeks, no doubt I have tasted food from 5 star to street food....Well, here come the list of food we tasted...sorry that there is no evidence by way of photograph since most of the time I am dining with some GMs, managers and so on.....sometime it was also unsave to bring camera around to hawker centre because lots of children will be standing beside begging for food!! poor kids..


Street food: Stalls in Ben Thanh Market....we have that everynight for our dinner..

Fastfood : Lotteria

Vietnamese food : Pho 24, Pho 2000 (refer previous post on pho 2000), broken rice

5 stars : Palace (on the way to my phuoc - picture below) and Yeebo (chinese food, in HCMC - sorry no photo..dine with GM)

Breakfast : Lousy hotel breakfast (chicken feet), Vietnamese sandwish - with roasted pork, chilli and lotsa vege, just like subway

If there is something i can recommend in HCMC beside their famous Pho and Grill Pork would be Yeebo Restaurant....During my last meal before we headed home, we were treated with a steamboat gala at Yeebo. The soup of the steamboat consists of chinese water creshnut, snow pear, chinese white cabbage and 2 huge pig bone. Once the soup is boiled, the waitress will remove the bone and cut off meat from the bone and serve it as a side dish. The ingredient for the steamboat is so fresh that the prawn is still jumping when we put it into the boiling broil....Yummy...href="http://yeebo.com.vn/">Yeebo Restaurant

Hong Kee Dim Sum in Damansara Jaya( Near Atria Mall)

I always favour Jin Xuan Dim Sum until Nicholas insist on going to Hong Kee, saying that Hong Kee is much cheaper. Well, this I could not deny, but still I favour Jin Xuan, cos they dim sum seems to be fresher and I personally think that it taste better.
this is a plate of fried 'lobak gou' that icould get in any stall in pasar.
the chicken legs did much better...just a bit too skinny for my taste.
siu long pau was nothing special
the pau was hard(apparently kept in storage for quite awhile and not heated well enough too'
'wu kok was also a big disappointment


The food are either not warm enough, not well heated enough or just plain.Its' always said that foods get from good to bad when a restaurant gets famous. Maybe i am just a bit too late...
