SAIGON RESTO 3: GOOD MORNING VIETNAM
------

this restaurant have a funny name.. i remember 'good morning baltimore' tuloy from HAIRSPRAY. i asked obee to bring us to an italian restaurant since am craving for pasta and i kind of dont want to eat spring rolls for that night. i've been eating spring rolls thrice a day for 2 days, so imagine my delight when i saw and tasted italian.

i'm sure there are much better italian places around manila, or maybe singapore, and if this is the best italian resturant in vietnam, then i suggest for you to go and try it, just dont expect it to impress you and come back for more. the menu had tons of entree, variety kung variety. the place was nostalgic, its like your stuck in the province with all wooden furnitures around. no white lights, its warm yellow to orange kind of effect, good for intimate moments, i guess. we saw dustin nguyen, a vietnamese actor in hollywood who was dining with friends on the other table. i guess its because of the upcoming miss U pageat to be held in vietnam.


appetizer, calamari. i thought it would be fried to perfection with mayonnaise, but yea it turned out to be something like this. in case your wondering whats in the middle - its cabbage salad.


any meal especially, pizza is perfect with coke light.


half bacon, half pepperoni pizza, i was with my aunt and they are not so adventurous when it comes to food, so we went for the basic flavors.


seafood marinara was one of the better versions i had, i dont like the thick slop of tomato sauce in marinara, so this was just perfect. it was light, and the seafood was great.


mushroom tagliatte - this is cream based, i wish i could have ordered penne gorgonzola with blue cheese. i love that pasta, but we traded for this. i don't like it, the mushroom was bitter.

total bill was around 450,000VND, but obee had 200,000VND voucher, so we paid roughly 300,000VND na lang. it was cheap, maybe because of the location, it was situated in backpackers area, where i guess a lot of caucasians would be in, hence, its location.
