Halal Eateries in Ho Chi Minh City

Bismillah

To find halal restaurants in Ho Chi Minh city is easy only if you know where to find them. There are several Malaysian halal restaurants there.

The VN . Halal is one of them. A place that offers you Malaysian cuisine and also the local Vietnamese cuisine. Located near Ben Thanh market, the tourist attraction market place.

If you are near Dong Du street, you are close to a centre of halal food. In that street, it is where you can find an old mosque and just opposite, you will find two those restaurants; Malaysian halal restaurants, an Indian muslim restaurant and a Turkish restaurant.

Malaysian restaurants are Halal@Saigon and another one D'Nyonya Penang.

'Kerabu' or southeast Asian salad. This salad is made out of fresh shrimps, lime zest, sliced bird's eye chilli, and some of which i couldn't tell but obviously this salad is so tasty.

Vietnamese cuisine are known for their variety of vegetables. So, this is one of it. I couldn't recall this type of plant. But, it is nutty and crunchy. Not bad at all.

If you are looking for a briyani rice, just next to Halal@Saigon, you will see Bombay Indian restaurant. Or you have another option which is to walk into Parkson mall, on the 3rd floor (it is actually at the food court), you will find another Indian restaurant.Well, I went to the one in Parkson.

Malaysian briyani is different from Indian briyani,. I guess i prefer Indian briyani as Malaysian briyani  is more oily and the gravy is thicker. This one is just nice. Lighter yet never less in taste.

Enjoying every bite. You can order lassi (yogurt drink) too.

I think there is more halal eateries in HCM city. After I came home from Vietnam, I saw a TV program, Rasa Halal Orient Vietnam, they discovered a street food which is halal which I feel unlucky to have miss it. It better be a good reason for me to come again and give it a go. :)
