Saigon Resturant No. 1: MAXIMs
------

one thing i asked obee is that i really wanted to eat good vietnamese cuisine, there she goes explaing that there's northern cuisine, hue (central vietnam), and southern cuisine, since am no food connoisseur, i just wanted to eat really good food, no matter where it came from.

MAXIM's is a restaurant in dong khoi street, just right next to obee's office. she said that it was an old theater that was converted to a restauarant, therefore very good ambiance and the place was just fantastic.

the price is quite on the high side, but the food was very good. in fact, its my aunt's favorite restaurant out of the whole trip.


fried spring rolls - meals wont be complete without it.


garlic sauteed beef with pho noodle.


fried tofu - i like this kind of tofu. they just have a lot of sauces on the table, 1 viand, 1 sauce.


pork in claypot.


coconut juice.

total, we paid like 700,000VND for this meal, but it was well worth it.

hi angel, dong khoi is a pretty nice area, they have italian brands there, plus GUCCI, sa corner naman VUITTON. its like a fashion street of some sort, and am sure it would look familiar sayo.

see you there sometime! enjoy!

SM? well, goodluck! the malls there kasi are korean owned ata. so i think SM would be a good mix.

did you hear the news that saigon or vietnam will declare bankrupcy in the next few days? well, from the news.
