Ho Chi Minh City - The weather is so hot! 36 degree celcius. Woke up at 7.30am for a 9am meeting - changed and had breakfast and ready to meet the customer. When the door boy opened the hotel door the heat from outside was overwhelming - got into the taxi and told the taxi driver to told the air-conditioner to maximum cold. Even though the air-con was 'puffing' cold air - it was really working hard as it took a long time for the taxi to be cooled. Driving down the road into a massive traffic jam.
After the meeting - decided to go for a walk in the heat after walking for a hour - I found a Vietnamese ice-cream shop - Bach Dang - hop right into that shop and it was a 'heaven sent'. Nice cold tea for guest + icy cold towels for you to cool down. Then the time come to choose the ice cream from the menu - I choose banana split ice-cream and it turn out to be very delicious. For 55k dong + 2k dong for the wet towels - it's a good price.
Address:
Bach Dang Ice Cream Co. Ltd
26-28 Le Loi St., Ben Nghe Ward, District 1
Walking further down heading towards my hotel was a restaurant that caught my eye - wrap and roll restaurant. The whole menu is mainly freshly rolled spring rolls and it is very delicious and taste very good.

I tried the all famous prawns and pork fresh spring roll and mustard leaf fresh spring roll - both taste so good.
The restaurant I tried was at : 62 Hai Ba Trung St, District 1
There are so many tourist in Ho Chi Minh City - maybe due to the civil unrest in Bangkok - Vietnam is benefit greatly from this...
