BIRTHDAY WEEK 2: HCM TRIP!





It was finally my birthday trip w Hans!
Jet off to HCM after working for 3 days (short work week yess!)
We spent a lot of time (and $$$) on food for this trip and it's all proven true!
Day 1 we had so much awesome stuff: from road side noodles, to Trung Nyuen Legend for coffee, to makeshift beef stall, to sizzling beef on stone at Hokkaido Sushi Sachi and lastly the popular Nambo.
I counted, we had 9 meals in total that day, be it proper or "improper" meals.
I know, it's A LOT.






Day 2 we took a sleeper bus to Mui Ne, and i was really looking forward to this lovely place! The sleeper bus was quite an experience tho haha.
The view above was directly from our bungalow when we checked-in in Mui Ne.
It was instant-fall-in-love kind of thing, a little surreal, waking up and going to bed with this view right in front of you ~
Headed off to the Fairy Stream and the view was (Y), the sand was so fine and it's amazing how the black and white sand form such a beautiful pattern, nature at it's best.
Our night ended off with seafood at Mr Crab, lots of it.
It was love.





Day 3 we woke up early to catch the sunrise as well as join in the fishmongers at Mui Ne's popular fishing village for their catch of the day.
It was quite a sight and we were offered 1kg worth of live prawns to be steam and eaten on the spot! We got them, and the prawns were so sweet it was superb.
It was beach time after that and it was so much fun i didn't wanna head back. 
(We both got burnt btw :/)
That day we went to the Red Sand Dunes, and on for massage, chilling by Full Moon Beach, then my birthday dinner at Santimatti Pizzeria (awesome pawsome).



Day 4 we took the sleeper bus back to HCMC and i couldn't bear to leave the beautiful place.
Upon settling down, we went to M2C Cafe, and it was no doubt a pretty place to be.
Roamed around for a little the rest of the day then it was the long waited Hotel Nikko Lobster Buffet!
Was hesitant in going there initially as Hans was unwell halfway but we still went nonetheless. 
The spread was literally WHOAAA!
I really didn't want this day to end.



& on Day 5, it was return to home day.
We had Bánh mì in the morning at Hoàng Hoa bakery, they definitely live up to their name! The picture may not look like it but it's so good.
N11 Cafe for coffee afterwards before one last round of shopping at Saigon Square then check out.

Back to work today, and i can't believe how fast the trip ended.
Didn't wanna go home but i guess we had our fair share of fun and now it's back to our work commitments.
And especially for Hans, thank you for this wonderful trip, it'll probably be a birthday i won't forget for a long time to come.
