Last night, we took the family to a renowned dining establishment in HCMC. Neither of us had ever been to this restaurant before. However, over the past few months, it has seemed that every person we have interacted with has recommended dining at this locale. So, we made reservations, hopped in our taxi, and crossed our fingers. The place did not disappoint. The restaurant is an old, traditional Vietnamese home that has been rebuilt into a variety of eating spaces. The menu is very large and allows the patron to order any combination of Vietnamese food they deem fit. (You want shrimp in tamarind with a side of su su?!? Just ask and the plate of delight shall appear!). While we were very excited to venture into a new restaurant to order off a new menu there was also another major draw to this excitement -- every time Brad and Angelina are in Vietnam, they dine at this place. As Heidi pointed out after visiting the toilet, "Yup ... I just sat on the same toilet as Angelina Jolie." If that doesn't make you want to order more delicious cuisine, what does!?!

| Watch out Brad and Angie -- there's a new hot couple in Saigon. |
 |
| Good thing we speak food Vietnamese because we had to order in the native tongue. |
