It was the 16th of February, the first night of Chinese New Year and we were in Saigon. Little did we know (my fault for not researching) that it is a major public holiday in Vietnam. So the choices are limited - malls were closed...even street food were rare to find. In the middle of bustling Saigon sandwiched between the Ho Chi Minh Square and Saigon Center Mall lies this unassuming cafe called Fresco Coffee. At first we thought it only served coffee and desserts but they offer a wide variety of dishes and drinks. From the authentic Pho to the western Burger they have it. If you want rice, bread, pasta, burger, fries, steak or dessert this is the place to be. The ambience is very relaxing and the interior is simple yet stylish. The staff were very courteous and attentive. The food was right on time when served. Even if our table is a bit small we were able to manage the array of foods we ordered - Mushroom soup for starters, Vietnamese Pork chop rice, Chicken Noodle, Vietnamese Beef Rice Noodles, and of course the delicious Spring rolls. We finished it all - what I can describe is the authenticity of the dishes true to its flavours - fresh, natural and the herbs were right on spot. And what's more the bill is just 25 SG dollars. It is indeed a perfect end to a great Chinese New Year night in Ho Chi Minh. When I come back here I will surely visit this place again.More
