Find Indigo in the Rainbow cubes which I ordered
PhotoHunt theme : Indigo/ Still life
On our last day in Ho Chi Minh city, a tour member was desperately trying to dispose off a huge supply of bananas presented to him by a lady. Every tour members was given bananas for breakfast and lunch. When we met him during tea time, he was still trying to "push" his bananas to us. :D
brought our own bananas to an ice-cream parlour ... LOL
One of the tour members suggested having banana split ice-cream, so we piled into a taxi and arrived at a classy ice-cream parlour.
It was a Vietnamese cafe selling high-end French ice-cream. In Ho Chi MInh City we did not expect a high class ice cream shop. The Franco-Vietnamese ice cream has a range of home-grown flavours, including durian, star anise and green tea. We struggled to make a choice.
This is a mint and vanilla flavour ice-cream, I thought the decoration was a cabbage leaf but it turned out to be white chocolate. Very creative!

My husband's coconut ice cream. Looks too pretty to be eaten and it was very delicious.
I ordered a plate of beautiful Rainbow Cubes, 7 fruity sherbets.
There is a fondue set which comes with 14 mini-scoops of ice cream and it was a good way to sample the flavours.
The ice cream was a little pricey to Vietnamese standards but it was good quality ice-cream and beautifully present - a lovely treat!

ReplyDeleteYour blog is making me hungry :)
ReplyDeletehaha.... posting too many food posts. :)
DeleteColourful, hehe...
ReplyDeleteyes, and delicious. :)
DeleteI went to a ritzy ice cream place when I visited Vietnam too! Seems like it's something from the French from that the Vietnamese (with enough money to do so -- yeah, it's expensive by local standards) enjoy.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to find several ritzy places in HCMC. I spoke to many locals on the trip and they are not earning high wages. I am curious why these high end places are packed with customers.
DeleteDroolicious takes!!
ReplyDeleteIce cream is just too irresistible! :D
