Last meal in HCMC

Had a wonderful meal at Xu restaurant here in HCMC For our last night. It is a very upmarket place which serves Asian tapas. We just ordered from the entree menu so had about ten between 4 of us. The servings were just bite size but exquisite flavours and textures. Vietnamese food is about the balance of sour, hot, sweet, and salty and when you have something that allows you to experience all 4 in a mouthful you are truly in heaven. One dish was made from slices of lotus root chicken cucumber spring onion and herbs of basil and mint - it truly exploded with taste in your mouth. It was very costly at $30 per person but really worth it. Now sitting the business lounge at the airport about to fly to Hoi An another favourite place in Vietnam .
