    What's the best food in Ho Chi Minh City?

    Vietnamese food Sweet - spicy - like fried and grilled - easy to get angry. You must ask the price first when you order food. The first district Xinyunhai and other restaurants feel expensive, and a two-pound fish is at least six or seven hundred yuan. If you go to attractions such as Nha Trang, you are advised to ask for price and then spend. Beware of being slaughtered. Roadside snacks are actually good. They are mainly sweet and spicy. If you are timid, don’t try the duck eggs on the street. It’s the unhatched duck eggs like domestic eggs. Vietnamese chili pepper sauce is particularly powerful. Friends who are spicy must try.

It is either European chocolate, and Dunhill seems to have seen it. There are also cigarettes.
