I’m part of foodies group from Indonesia that plan to visit Saigon in Oct 7-10 , we plan to eat in several places there. It’s me 2nd visit to Saigon, hopefuly you and astronomer could join us in some point.

Our Plan
7 Oct – Arriver from Jakarta, lunch in Bo 7 Mon, some city tour, dinner in Quan 94
8 Oct – Bfast in Pho Hoa Pasteur, city tour, lunch in Ngu Vien, Ice cream in Fanny, dinner in Cha Ca La Vong
9 Oct – Cu CHi tour, plan to grab some Banh Mi, do you know any particular bakery/vendor in Q1 that served best banh mi in town, its 40 of us so i don’t think street banh mi could whip it fast, dinner in Barbeque Garden (last time i visited the town i’m looking for luong son bo tung xeo in Ly Tu Trong, but apparently they moved somewhere) could you nice open air bbq garden

According to another web site it has moved so it is apparently the same place. The Ca Kho To (Hu) was quite good, although less carmelly than most preparations (and than the picture on this blog). So more subtle, but delicious (the fish was very fresh). We also had an excellent rice porridge with eel.

Thanks for inspiring the masses to eat with the locals ;-)

Not only has Ngu Vien risen the prices, it looks as though they’ve invested in a new sign :) I always found the servers here to be most helpful and extremely polite. I used to pop in here pretty much once per week for a take home jobbie. I can’t think of anything on the menu that I ever disliked.

When I look back now, it’s kinda funny that this is literally the first resto noodlegirl and me dropped into when we first moved to Saigon. It was also one of the last. 4 or 5 years. Arrhhh… feeling a bit Saigon homesick.
