Hoi An to Ho Chi Min




After breakfast we packed and headed off for the airport in Da Nang at about 9.00am for an 11.00am flight to Saigon.  A 380,000 VND taxi ride to the Villa Song for a seamless check-in.  The hotel is about 20 - 25 minutes out of town, which considering how busy HMC is, doesn't worry me in the least!  The room is not large, but there is a balcony overlooking the pool and the hotel is quite beautiful.

Tonight we went to La Villa which is about 5 - 10 minutes away by taxi.  It was sublime :)

I decided to have the set gourmet menu while Gordy settled on a la carte.  We were presented with a plate a four tiny morsels, including leek soup and gourgers, then a tiny dish of steak tartare with a quail egg was presented for the amuse bouche.  Crab ravioli, scallops, steak, cheeses, chocolate dessert with the most divine banana sorbet.  They then brought out a plate of another four tiny desserts including macarons and chocolate dipped glace orange, with herbal tea and a drink like limoncello only made with orange!  Thoroughly recommend!
