Sally goes to Ho Chi Minh: Part 3 The family trip!

Spend the morning exploring new cafe before the family arrives!

Sleeping marathon #likeaboss

WC brought me to ID cafe near our hotel.
He said it was one of the more popular cafe but nothing special.
The food was alright and it could only house a few tables. 
Turned out there's a level two that we missed out! Haha 

If you are looking out for shopping, Vietnam is really not the place for you.
The extent they marked up the price really pissed me off.
Imagine a normal Saigon singlet that we can get for a few bucks, they try to sell my sis for 750000dong (that's about 45 SGD).
Is either they think we are stupid or they are mad. 
I know it was rude but it was so hilarious I really LOL whenever they quoted me such ridiculous price. 

The best thing to do in the hot weather: Cafe hopping again!
This time we headed to The Morning Cafe.
OMG I really loveeeeeee this place!
It's located at this dark alley and you have to take a long flight of stairs up. 
Just when we were so skeptical about everything around us, we heard a really loud thud. I swear I got a really bad scare, instinctively cover my ears and bend down.
After that we realise somebody threw a huge bag of sand or dunno what down, probably to save the trip down the narrow stairwell. FML. 

It's not that bright in real life, in fact it is dark and we are the only customers.
With a cup of real good smoothie and jazz music, this place is PERFECT.




And our family arrived just in time after we came back from the cafe!
It was the first time we are doing a family trip (usually it's just 4 of us) so everyone was pretty high and excited. 



They were hungry when they arrived so we went to try out the fast food chain.
No burger or fries, just pho and Vietnamese coffee!

Dunno how Jia edited all these photos, look damn nice. I only know how to resize, contrast and add effect aka instagram. Heehee.

Sally's first sneak attack.

My aunty and her family

My obviously over enthusiastic family. 

Haha the family soon got tired of walking around so we settled at Paris Baguette for some coffee. 

And it was not long after we segregated to 老人族 and 青年族. 
Seriously there's nothing that will interest our parents, so they got bored of walking. And cafe hopping isn't exactly their kind of thing. 

So the only activity is FOOD! 
Looks good but not that good. 
Especially those prawns. It's basically prawns in a coconut. Pui.
We all left unsatisfied, those food below plus a fish cost us close to 100 bucks. 
Singapore also not that expensive lo.


Ended off Day 1. 
Mekong river next!
