The hot bowl of Pho was filled with not only beef, but also a lot of flavourful diced spring onions and onions. Although it was not as tasty as Kam Lai's, and the ingredients were not as rich, the flavour and human touch of the stall was definitely worth it. Apart from that, you can also try different Vietnamese specialities, such as the thin-skinned and stuffed Vietnamese rice paper rolls, which are rolled with refreshing shrimps, rice vermicelli, and aromatic leaves, which tastes refreshingly delicious. There is also a wide variety of flavourful grilled seafood, prawns, hamachi, tamago and kebabs, all of which can be eaten here.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Vietnamese baguettes for street snacks<\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191113_185305_49082555813_m-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-120813\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191113_185305_49082555813_m-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191113_185305_49082555813_m-1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191113_185305_49082555813_m-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Away from the Hamachi City Market, the neighbourhood is full of specialties.

The flavour of this baguette is quite good, unlike the usual ones, it is made with more wicked braised fat pork instead of za-mei, which adds more fat flavour to moisten the whole baguette, together with the crispy and sweet and sour pickled vegetables, fragrant coriander and shredded spring onion, which makes the baguette tasty without being too greasy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Other Specialities<\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151101_49082559463_m-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-120825\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151101_49082559463_m-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151101_49082559463_m-1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151101_49082559463_m-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-120809 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_152228_49083283177_m-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_152228_49083283177_m-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_150856_49083282667_m-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_150856_49083282667_m-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151013_49083282757_m-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151013_49083282757_m-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_150917_49083078441_m-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_150917_49083078441_m-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151405_49082559498_m-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151405_49082559498_m-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151336_49082559458_m-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191114_151336_49082559458_m-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Two blocks away from the hotel is the popular Ho Chi Minh City Museum.

However, we should also remind you that street scams are very common in the area, and if you are not careful, you may be tricked. For example, you may be forced to add a \"high-priced\" shoe cushion, or you may be asked to pay almost HK$50 or HK$60 for a coconut green, so be sure to ask for a good price first, and patronise them only if you feel that it's reasonable. As long as you are careful, you will have a happy and enjoyable trip.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">-Grand Silverland Hotel &amp; Spa<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Address: 125 L\u00fd T\u1ef1 Tr\u1ecdng, Ph\u01b0\u1eddng B\u1ebfn Th\u00e0nh, Qu\u1eadn 1, H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh, Vietnam<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Telephone: +84 28 3829 3888<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">-Ch\u1ee3 B\u1ebfn Th\u00e0nh, City Market, Penang<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Address: Ch\u1ee3i, L\u00ea L\u1ee3i, Ph\u01b0\u1eddng B\u1ebfn Th\u00e0nh, Qu\u1eadn 1, H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh 700000 Vietnam<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 07:00-19:00<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Telephone: +84 28 3829 9274<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">-Ho Chi Minh City Museum<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Address: 65 L\u00fd T\u1ef1 Tr\u1ecdng, B\u1ebfn Ngh\u00e9, Qu\u1eadn 1, H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh, Vietnam<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 08:00-17:00<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Tel: +84 28 3829 9741<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">-War Remnants Museum<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Address: 28 V\u00f5 V\u0103n T\u1ea7n, Ph\u01b0\u1eddng 6, Qu\u1eadn 3, H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh 700000 Vietnam<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Opening hours: Monday to Sunday: 07:30-18:00<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Telephone: +84 28 3930 5587<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u7f8e\u98df\u53c8\u591a\u53c8\u5e73\u5b9c\u7684\u8d8a\u5357\u662f\u6211\u4e00\u76f4\u60f3\u53bb\u7684\u5730\u65b9\uff0c\u8fd1\u5e74\u53ef\u4ee5\u5728\u7db2\u4e0a\u8fa6\u7406\u7c3d\u8b49\u4e5f\u65b9\u4fbf\u4e86\u8a31\u591a\uff0c\u6240\u4ee5\u6700\u8fd1\u5c31\u5b89\u6392\u4e86\u4e00\u8d9f\u77ed\u77ed\u7684\u65c5\u7a0b\uff0c\u5230 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":120844,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_citadela_custom_class":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-travel-tips","category-vietnam-ho-chi-minh-city"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120809"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":990069,"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120809\/revisions\/990069"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jonathansin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
