Dinner at $1.50 a plate


Dinner at $1.50 a plate

We returned to this sidewalk eatery in Saigon. We had actually seen Andrej here the night before our delta trip when we were eating there. Here we were joined by Enrico and Anna from Italy. It was a nice change from the tourist restaurants at Pham Ngu Lao. Emily got a plate of clams in a nice sauce for about $1.50. It wasn't on the menu; she just walked up to the outdoor kitchen and pointed at the ingredients she wanted. And they didn't rip her off on the price!
To find this place, head south on De Tham street in the Pham Ngu Lao area, a couple blocks past the major intersection at Tran Hung Dao down a dark alley. You will see an intersection with lots of outdoor eateries there. This one is on the southeast corner.
