WATCH: Breakfast in the World's Biggest Chinatown
Phở, coffee, donuts, Hồ Chí Minh's house & a cafe only accessible via a colonial-era apartment
In this one, I take you for breakfast to a consistently top notch phở joint in the pulsating heart of Saigon's "Chinatown" after which I wash it down with an iced coffee and a donut...yes, a donut, at a cute little mom & pop coffee shop where you'd least expect it.
I walk it all off by visiting a national historic monument (hint hint: Hồ Chí Minh lived here), trundle by lantern and knick knack shops before wrapping up my little adventure with a cool drink in a French colonial-era apartment block accessible only via a historic market.
I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to reading your comments!
