Just visited a new halal restaurant in Saigon today. Banana Leaf @Saigon is owned by the former owner of Halal@Saigon offering Malaysian, Singaporean and Vietnamese halal cuisines.

After being harassed by Evelyn for sending her to a construction site and not Pinky’s a couple months, I finally found one near where I live in District 1.

Several Pinky’s have shut down in the last year but new ones have replaced them. They are more “mom and daughter” shops anymore. Prices are good but you will need to scream for service.
Sorry, forgot to get the address to this one. (more…)

I visited Cuc Gach Cafe, a popular Vietnamese restaurant, last Sunday with my friend. It serves traditional Vietnamese food. The catch, it serves a different menu each day. Customers just arrive, sit down, and then the waiter will bring some food shortly after. I really enjoyed what they brought to us Sunday evening. (more…)
