All that window shopping make you hungry?
OK. I spotted this place very near the Independence Palace. Quán Ngon 138. (Quán ngon means delicious food - 138 is the address)
The lovely young lady gave me such a beautiful smile and giggled when I took the picture. OK, I'm a sucker, but I looked at their menu and it was very appealing and not at all expensive considering the beautiful ambience and that it is in the heart of the tourist district.
Reader, I bit!
I ordered gỏi cuốn + chả giò hải sản + chả giò Ngon + chả giò Truyền thông + gỏi xoài tôm khô
fresh spring rolls with prawn and pork + deep fried spring rolls (seafood, special Ngon style, Traditional Vietnamese) + Green mango salad with dried shrimp. Plus the usual heap of greens. And a beer.
Very good. They lived up to their name and were all very friendly.
Here are their details. I went to the first branch.
