Jeff, here are some of the daily shapshots I take of the food, and other "moments of zen" in Saigon. From what I know of you thus far I think you would really find this place STIMULATING...

^^ "Bia Tuoi" ("fresh beer" -- freshly brewed on site) - 13,000 VND ( ~ $0.50 USD) per liter. But the best thing about these places is that they barbeque all things chicken into the wee hours of the morning (ex. full chicken, breasts, head-neck, kidneys, intestines, etc.) When the sun goes down these places really come alive, as the whole city lights up will all sorts of signs, and lights, and smoke, and - yikes - "the traffic"...

I view the beer and food as a REWARD for getting through the traffic (on my mountain bike no less).

The Vietnamese don't mess around with food...
