In search of tacos, motorbike crashes
Not so happy!
Cantina Central: only memorable because of the motorbike crash minutes earlier. Side-slammed, out of nowhere, we both downed a drink and silently picked at some mediocre street-style tacos (although I have to say I was very surprised by their mini-tortillas! They were actually

hand-made and pretty good). Furniture by Gaya, otherwise dull interior.
Saigon Cafe Nightlife
If you're looking for somewhere to go and get your energy moving, whether it be at 11 am or 11 pm, Windows Cafe on Alexandre de Rhodes Street is the place to go. Thumpin' music w/ live Dj, great coffee, atmosphere, design, Spirits, food....they've got it all!
BEST Bahn Xeo on Cao Tang Street
This is the one w/ Ozonated water! Not only was this bahn xeo the best one we have had but cleaner and cheaper ($35,000 apx. $2USD) filled to the brim w/ pork belly and shrimp. And the bahn cot ( mini pancakes) were crazy yummy! Not to mention the establishment had spritzers and fans to cool you off, and clay tiled palapa roofs. Definitiely a place to frequent ( hope it doesn't disappear!)
Banh Cuon Somewhere around #11 Cao Thang, D3
We were looking for Hai Nam Bahn Cuon #11A Cao Thang St, D3. But as it turns out, this was one of those places that was no longer there (although it had been raved about in the November issue of "The Word HCMC"). But we did find a place close by which must have been it, re-located somehow. Anyhow, the bahn cuon were amazing!!!!! I thought the ones we had at our frequented deli were good.... but these little suckers were to die for! Bahn cuon are gelationous rice paper rolls, filled w/ either pork or pork and shrimp, served w/ a sweet fish sauce, bean sprouts, and a couple of slices of Vietnamese ham. For under $16,000 VND ( less than $1 USD) it just doesn't get any better than this!!!
