Being a fan of avocados, Audrey had to try a shake when she saw it on the menu. It was a creamy, tasty and thick, but not quite as refreshing as a mango or pineapple shake. The grilled pork and beef were fantastic. We liked the use of grilled peanuts in HCMC to accent the food.
We got a craving for dim sum one day and found the recommendation for Lucky Star Restaurant somewhere. This was some of the best dim sum we have ever had. The shrimp dumplings had large pieces of shrimp with various kinds of herbs and different dipping sauces, all for around $1.50 per basket. It was hard to pull ourselves away from this place...
We were surprised at the variety of dried shrimp available at the market in HCMC. We noticed this more in Thai food than Vietnamese food, but this stall shows that it also must play a role in Vietnamese food as well.
