Hey Everyone! I am writing this post from Vietnam. I have been in Ho Chi Minh City (better known as Saigon) for about two weeks now and have really enjoyed exploring the city, and of course trying their local foods. The city is insanely lively and vibrant. And there are millions of mopeds zipping around everywhere, it's quite a sight to see. The restaurant I am sharing with you today is called Secret Garden. It was recommended to us by the owner of our Air BnB. It is located down a small alley, and up about four flights of stairs. It seemed very random to us at first but the trek was definitely worth it for the ambience. And there are motivational posters for you along the way (see below). Once you get up there, you walk through the kitchen into a wonderful garden with views of the city. The food is smaller portions, and the menu has English translations and a lot of pictures to help guide your selection. Vietnamese has been surprisingly hard to pick up, but I tried to include the local Vietnamese names of the foods here. I wouldn't say this is the best Vietnamese food I've had so far, but it is definitely a great choice. I have a lot of other posts in the works, and will try to keep a steady stream coming your way. Enjoy.
