Special drinks in Saigon

It is very hard to find Muslim Foods that suit my taste in Saigon... we knew few restaurants for Muslims food.. but still we opt to avoid eating in restaurant... so end up eating fruits and drink juice....

On the first day in this city, we drank nothing else except for fresh coconut drink VND20,000 (RM3.40)-VND30,000 (RN5.10) .. a bit expensive ...

Then we found that they sells lots of mangoes... and they made fresh mango juice.... drink nothing else but mango juice on the second day. VND30,000 (RM5.10)... very rich.. cold with no ice....

Then tried their fresh passion fruit juice....

and this is my favourite and shocking discovery....

Very special  ... their sugarcane drink... freshly extracted and they put a drop of fresh calamansi extract in it... nothing else... no sugar added.. patutlah tak sakit tekak walaupun minum bergelas-gelas air tebu ni...I think we bought this 3-4 times a day..... this would be my favourite of all.... 1 whole stick of about 2 feet long for 1 glass + ice of sugarcane extract...extracted upon order... very pure...

hmm berbuih lagi...

then I saw this...

no wonder the sugarcane taste so nice..

they are using "tebu merah"

(I still remember during my 2nd pregnancy in year 2000...I was craving over this thing...)

rupanyer sampai Vietnam baru jumpa...

Tebu merah ni kurus-kurus macam orang Vietnam gak...

 

Sebelum balik tadi sempat pekena segelas lagi..... segelas cuma VND10,000 (RM1.70).. boleh tahan mahal la... banding ngan harga kat M'sia.

tapi bab yang paling best bab makan minum sepanjang jalan tepi kedai-kedai... semua duduk kat kerusi meja rendah menghadap jalan... nasib baik tak boleh makan kat sini.... suasana ni sama macam kat France... diorang minum menghadap Eifel Tower..
