HCMC Day 1 Part 3

Step out of Saigon Tourist.. hmmm.. where should we go? opened up the map.. where r we?
Since is already half a day pass, nothing much we can so.. so the best thing is to walk around the city lol..If any of you planning to go HCMC, remember to passby Saigon Tourist Centre to get their local map as i felt that it is more detail compared to those that i have bought or found in the net.
The first location that we passed by is the People's Committee Building and then the Reunification Palace. Both this building is just a Hi-Bye location. Just snap a few pictures then there we go for da next spot.

Then the next attraction is the Ben Thant Market.

This place is famous for its handicrafts, souveniers, bags, snacks, local delicacies, and some says the local food which i nvr tried here. We just scroll around a while and we proceed for our next stop as we know we will be back later for their goods. At least we know whr is it for da moment.


War Remnants Museum is our next stop. This place actually tells da story how brutal US Army in those passed years. We actually spend about 2-3hrs strolling around. This is da first place in this trip whr i made RJ angry when i said she should take a photo with the tiger cage.. her face totally darken. oppss.. said da wrong thing.. haha.. da best is not to get near her after that.. haha..


About 4pm we r out of da museum. actually im quite hungry by then but as da time is still early, y not we visit the Xa Loi Temple which is quite near. There we go, turn left, turn right.. remember to look at the traffic as there are so so so so many motorbikes around and really need to re-learn how to go across a road.. haha.. finally after 20mins of walk..i saw the pagoda coming into view but too bad.. we are too late. The temple is closed by then. What to do.. just snap a few pictures then we proceed for our dinner.

We already knew whr we should go for our dinner. Quan An Ngon is da place whr it is a place which serve a varieties of Vietnamese delicacies. The food is quite nice and we are quite satisfied with wit. Quan An Ngon is located at two places. One at the main street, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and the other is just located behind it at Pasteur street. The ambience of this location is nice and the shop assistant is very friendly.. highly recommended for this shop. During dinner, mouth very itchy, accidentally shoot RJ again.. alamak.. she seems to be quite angry for da moment. =.=" for da rest of da days, i really think b4 i speak.. haha..





Personally i like the garlic fried rice(second from the top) and the deep friend spring roll(fourth from the top). Thumbs upz!
