Eat - Nha Hang Ngon
Nha Hang Ngon restaurant is housed in a beautiful yellow heritage building on 160 Pasteur, District 1. Tastefully decorated with chunky wood furniture, fabric tents, and a pond in the middle, it is a stunning backdrop for the equally spectacular food. You can walk around the perimeter of the restaurant to see different types of Vietnamese food being prepared as you pick what appeals to you. Watch as a lady grills meat skewers or scoops up different types of jelly for a dessert. The restaurant has everything from traditional Pho and salad rolls to very unique soups, stuffed snails, seafood and meat, and all offered at a very reasonable price.
Drink - Chill Skybar

Explore - Saigon's History
Ho Chi Minh City has such a remarkable history, it's worth learning first hand about its often horrendous past.
