Saigon Series - Town House 50

3 nights in Saigon at Town House 50

Chic decor, friendly staff and good sized rooms. 

 3 days of really good Vietnamese ice coffee for breakfast. Two of us could not eat the pork sausages so they offered 2 eggs instead.

 Hotel is on a road lined with 2-3 Star hotels and small bars/cafes. Also really easy access to taxis.

Hotel is 2 minutes cab ride or 15 minutes walk from Ben Thanh Market.

Saigon Series - Halal Pho!

Chicken Pho

Dry version

 

Sitting on tiny chairs and eating off a low table at an alley next to the mosque was an adventure itself. There were motorcycles passing by as we ate but that did not stop us from finishing the really good food. The ladies mending the store were warm and friendly.

We came back a second time at noon the following day. 4 big bowls of pho, drinks and fritters costs us only about $5 each.
