I thought I would list some of my favourite places in Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam is such a great country, so if you get a chance to visit, live it up and don't miss out on my top 3 destinations!
1.
L'Usine - 151/1 Dong Khoi St District 1 HCMC
The place is amazing! Hipster cafe meets quirky boutique. Kinda similar to Fat in Melbourne, but even better as there's cupcakes!
2.
Tricia & Verona Tailors - 39 Dong Du Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1 HCMC
The amazing girls at Tricia & Verona made me 2 x dresses, 2 x shirts and 2 x tees for around $200USD. Definitely worth visiting if you're in HCMC for longer than a few days. Great quality and reasonable turn-around.
3 - Hoa Tuc 74/7 Hai Ba Trung, District 1, HCMC
This was hands down my favourite restaurant in HCMC. From the home-made Silken Tofu to prawn parcels and soft-shell crab.. they have everything (incl. fresh coconuts)!
