Here's a chance for us folks on Expat-Blog to share with others our favorite places to eat. Could be anything from a streetside eatery selling local delicacies to 5 star dining in the heart of D1. If you happen to have the address, great - if not, don't worry. It'd be great if you include a tidbit of info on the place mentioning what you like best about them.
I work at my company M-Fri morning in Binh Duong and live in D1 from Fri-Mon morning. I eat out EVERY single meal while I'm down here so I'm always looking for new places - I eat out so often that I don't even have plates or cookware at my apartment!
I'll kick things off with just a couple of my favorites
Pho Hoa - Pasteur Street D3. I always get the Pho Tai and ask for extra fat - possibly my favorite pho in the city. It's always busy
Quan An Ngon - There's 2, one on Pasteur in D1 and the other on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia. People say there the same, but I disagree. I personally like the one on Nam Ky better. There's a broader selection of food and I think they do it up a little better there.
Theres a great little place off of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai in D1 that sells great Pho and Bo Kho with Banh Mi. I go there a lot of the mornings.
Also, I am a sucker for Com Suon Nuong (Grilled pork chop with Rice) and So Diep Nuong Mo Hanh (Grilled scallops in the shell with a little bit of fat and green onions). I am constantly wandering the streets of Saigon in search of those 2 delicacies..
Those are just a few.. Now your turn..
