Ho Chi Minh in 5 days 🇻🇳

Here’s a rough list or guide for your next trip to Ho Chi Minh! Sharing some things that you might find interesting!

♥︎ Slide 2 - Dinner date place 🤍

Mặn Mòi - Tao Đàn ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great ambience, great food had a wonderful experience here! Not many choices but great modern Vietnamese cuisine to try!

♥︎ Slide 3 - Coffee + cafes ☕️

Katinat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Their avocado drinks are amazing! They are almost everywhere in ho chi minh and their interior is very nice! Also it’s a pretty nice place to work from 💻

OKKIO Caffe - Tự Do ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice place, you have to go inside an alleyway to get to the cafe. They do sell their own coffee brand (i feel it’s very nice to bring back) also great place to work, they have plugs and wifi!

Highlands Coffee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great coffee! And i’m not a coffee drinker 👀 they also have a lot of branches around the city!

♥︎ Slide 4 - Street food 🍜🥖

Honestly don’t be afraid of their street food 🥖 my first banh mi was across my hotel room it was $1 and it tasted amazing! Also tried a random pho place and it was good too!

♥︎ Slide 5 - More foods!

Bánh Mì Huynh Hoa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great banh mi i have no complains, the filling was super generous and i shared 1 banh mi with my friend. It was slightly overhyped but still great!

📍4ps Pizza

Nothing special tbh, they have very great service. The pizza was good but nothing amazing. But do try their squid ink risotto! It’s a nice place to try if you want other things than Vietnamese cuisine!

Bún Thịt Nướng Chị Tuyền ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s a dry vermicelli place, i feel it’s pretty good! The spring roll is amazing! The price was pretty affordable too! This is something you should try!

♥︎ Slide 6 - Book Street 📖

Ho Chi Minh City Book Street

Nice place to go during the night, they do sell english books and Vietnamese books. But what caught my attention was the souvenirs! I got a handmade book, postcards, bookmarks & other things here! Worth the visit!

♥︎ Slide 7 - Workshop 🎨

Tòong Teng Mosaic - Café & Workshop

I did this mosaic workshop and it was very fun! Prices starts from ~$9. I’ve also created a detailed guide for this experience here! 👇🏼

Bestudio Quận 10

Booked a nail appointment a day before from their instagram. The staff were very accommodating and friendly! They were very gentle and precise when they’re doing my mani and what’s crazy is my total damage was ~$27 with cuticle care + hard gel + cateye 🙈 more details info here 👇🏼
