…and would love to go back again SOON!

It’s been days since I was planning to try Ersao’s milk tea. When we passed by a branch on our way home, we grabbed the opportunity to try it. I’m glad we did! We love the wanton noodle soup, chicken and the milk tea. We will definitely go back again one of these days!

Chilli’s would always be our favorite restaurant. Aside from the fact that our comfort food were served there, we also love the new offerings every now and then. When we were at Greenbelt, we decided to have a quick dinner with the kids at Chilli’s.

We didn’t order much, only our favorite meals…

Clam Chowder. The little girls surprisingly love this soup. They finished the whole bowl in a few minutes! I guess it was good.

Baby Back Ribs + Chicken and Rice. The ribs were still tender and the chicken was tasty. It’s a must to order this if you are dining at Chilli’s.

Chicken Fajitas. Our all time favorite at Chilli’s. I was craving for this for months so we made sure that we ordered it.

We love, love Chilli’s. We’ll definitely go back again if we crave for those yummy fajitas. Soon.

My favorite noodles and now my little girl and Hubby’s too…

Northpark’s crispy noodles…

This particular noodles had been part of our list of favorite food for quite sometime now.

This is perfect for parties, small gathering and get togethers. And I would love to have this weekend.

We’ll see!

I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about Crazy Katsu, so when we were at the area one weekend, we decided to try it out. We went with the kids and they were excited to try it too.

Since I was excited to try their Katsu, I was disappointed when I learned that their chicken katsu was spicy!

Too bad the kids weren’t able to try it. But they enjoyed the bowl of sukiyaki as they fondly called it “the sweet soup”.

There were not much options at their menu. Hopefully they get to add more soon!

Usually when we are in Food Choices Glorietta, with all those options available, choosing which one to eat for lunch or dinner is harder. But that particular day, we were all drawn to this one restaurant that is offering Greek cuisine. The prices were not too expensive either so we went for it and tried it for the first time.

I got the chicken kebab platter which was served with side salad and Greek rice. For PHP195, the serving was so huge I had to share it with my Hubby.

It was a great choice and we all love the food. So if you are craving for a greek cuisine, go Greek!

After our last minute shopping at Ben Thanh Market and a couple of shops around the hotel, we had a lot of time to wait before the Water Puppet Show so we decided to just relax for a while and try I.D. Cafe. At first I was hesitant because the stairs to the cafe was so dark!

But when we arrived at the cafe itself, I was surprised, the place was cozy and intimate. Perfect to relax and drink the best coffee in Ho Chi Minh.

There were quite a lot of options to choose from. They have flavored coffee, desserts and snacks.

The food was just ok, but the coffee was really good and we all love the ambiance…

We are going to have our final authentic Vietnamese lunch so we decided to have it at the nearest restaurant in our hotel so we still have lots of time to shop after. Yes, still not done shopping! HA!

And check out what we have for our last lunch in Ho Chi Minh…

This is their version of their rice. Instead of the white rice we opted to get the white noodles paired with pork, beef and chicken to really taste the “real” Vietnamese lunch. It was different but good and definitely unforgettable!

Too bad I forgot the name of the resto. It was written in Vietnamese anyway so I wouldn’t really remember what it’s called. But one thing I’m sure of, the food was great!

For our last dinner in Ho Chi Minh, we decided to make it special and try Barbecue Garden.

We passed by this restaurant for quite a number of times so we were all curious. It’s also loaded with a lot of people so we assumed that they serve good food!

Everything we assumed were right. They serve good food and we love the ambiance that it offered. Although we found it hot, but we enjoyed our last dinner in Ho Chi Minh.

We had the meal set which includes seafood, beef and pork to cook in our table. On the side we had salad, noodles and rice.

Everyone left the restaurant with happy tummies! We love this restaurant and I highly recommend it.

If you are going with kids, make sure that you ask which food are spicy and which ones are not. Their mild spicy is too spicy for us!

The boat that we rode during our Halong Bay Cruise consisted only of tables and chairs. It was really meant for a cruise with a buffet lunch. That’s why we loved it so much!

Here’s our sumputuous buffet lunch that we didn’t get to finish because the servings were too much!

But it was soo good, we wanted to bring these home. Cucumber salad, freshly fried spring rolls, fried tilapia with sweet & sour sauce and a whole lot more.

Kids also loved the food. ♥♥♥
