One of my favorite things to do in Saigon is to find a few restaurants or eateries (there are literally thousands and thousands of them) scattered all throughout the districts. Today, Ngoc, Andrew, and I visit District 5 and try three different kinds of foods. First, at Baoz Dim Sum 86-88 Nguyen Tri Phuong We enjoyed a classic Chinese influence brunch of dim sum. District 5 is one of the big Hoa or Chinese people districts and there are an abundance of Chinese food around. (I might just do the best Chinese food in Saigon video one of these days) We started off with the chicken feet, one of my favorite items. Then we tried some sweet custard dumplins, and some young spare ribs. There were just too many things to feature, so I'll probably make more dim sum videos in the future. Next, we went to Quan Vy at 190/19 Su Van Hanh for Lau Mam or fermented fish hot pot. Now, mam is famous throughout Vietnam. People use it as a condiment or as a soup base. Bun mam has been featured on this channel before and lau mam is just an exaggerated and family style shareable version of bun mam. The broth, proteins, and veggies all taste like fish that have been left out to rot and stink. The broth was extremely salty and pretty much not edible for me, but Ngoc loves it. For dessert we headed to Coconut & Pumpkin at 85 Chau Van Liem. They specialize in rau cau or jello, especially coconuts and pumpkin. They served some of the best flan I've ever had with the best pumpkin as well. This recipe is pretty original, and I've never had anything like that before. I highly recommend this place if you're a fan of coconut jelly, flan, or pumpkins.
