ho chi minh part 1: a gastronomic affair

Before my trip to Ho Chi Minh (formerly known as Saigon), I've already heard a lot about how good the food there is. I just didn't have the idea that I'd fall in love with one of their staples there: iced coffee with (condensed) milk, locally known as ca phe sua da.

But before I get carried away and rave about my new caffeine fix, let me take you to a rundown of some of HCMC's dining places, all in which ca phe sua da is a fixture, alongside other more famous Vietnamese delicacies. Let the foodie trip begin here!

Because I still haven't gotten around to writing about my four-day experience in the city formerly known as Saigon, let me share first a few photos.
