Food, Food, Food

This week was rather "busy" eating out basically every lunch and dinner.
We went with our office to a Japanese Grill Uraetei 4. You have a grill inside the table (like in the Barbecue Garden), but here the grill is heated with real charcoals.




Food was really delicious!

Our ladies were wearing their nice dresses:



On Tuesday I tried out a Vietnamese Restaurant. But unlike all "normal" Vietnamese Restaurants here in HCMC, this one is trying to make Haute Cuisine out of the dishes: XU Restaurant. I must say, it was very delicious and beautifully served:







As I have only seen a fraction of HCMC, I went to Binh Tay Market this week. It is said to be the wholesale place for most of the Vietnamese retailers in HCMC. As it is rather far from the city center, you basically don't see many tourists, compared to Ben Thanh Market. It is even more packed, than Ben Thanh and with an unbelievable atmosphere. 






Binh Tay Market has a courtyard. When you enter it, suddenly you are in a different world. It's calm and peaceful. People go there to relax and pray.




If you want to buy T-Shirts, bags, pots, toothpaste, helmets in large quantities and get some spiritual enlightenment, then Bin Thay is the place to go.
