Vietnam Day 4 (Part 2): Last Night In Hue - Food Only

Banh Mi with mixed pork and egg on the street 40,000VND
I personally think that this random banh mi from somewhere in Hue taste much yummier than the one in Anthony Bourdain show.  That sweet pork was abolutely winner.



Along the perfume river at night, it turns to be a walking street with some local snacks to be devoured.  With a nice atmosphere and cool weather, what more can I asked.

Vietnam Day 4: The Citadel (Hue Imperial City) And Up Cafe, Hue

Vietnam Day 3 (Part 2): Hue City And Dong Ba Market






After having our breakfast at the hotel, we walked to Citadel (Imperial City).  Again we prefer to walk instead of catching cyclo.  Although so many of them offering only $2 ride to Citadel but according to so many stories about cheating cyclo driver and our own bad experience with Vietnam taxi previously, we were comfortably doing this way.  It wasn't that far anyway just crossing the Perfume River and turn left instead of turn right like we took yesterday to Dong Ba Market.




Entry fee to Citadel is 150,000VND without guide
















On the way back we stopped at UP café. It looks very modern in this heritage town.  And it was just newly opened couple days ago.  We only had some drinks then for our lunch, we chose some local restaurant not far from our hotel.  The restaurant namely, Phuong Nam Café, serve homey dishes with cheap price and big portion and more importantly it was clean.

Vietnam Day 3 (Part 2): Hue City And Dong Ba Market

Vietnam Day 3: Orchid Hotel Hue and Hue Spring Bar And Restaurant


Walking from our hotel to Dong Ba market will take about 20 minutes or alternatively we can catch this dragon boat for only USD1/one way.  We skipped this and use our foot instead, as we never been around the Hue town and we just want to explore the city.  I know it will take abit of time but that's the charming of travelling, isn't it?  Then we planned to catch the boat back from market to the other side of the river, but unfortunately we couldn't see the wharf from there.  Therefore we walked back home again, but not too worry the weather was friendly.

In the afternoon, this small houses-like shop still hasn't open yet.  We definitely will back at night to find out what is it!
