You have to take the cable car and visit 

A sweedish friend of mine who serve good coffe and sweedish sandwiches. The night marked was also colourful with alot of seafood.

Send me his business name and I will try to stop by and have a cup of coffee there. I think the cable car is on our list. We will be in the Duang Dong area.  Have you used the free electric bus options there?

Sorry just saw the map

I brought my crew and were ready for     Bahn mi. But your buddies place was closed @ 5:00 in the evening. Tough way to make a living.  

I've stayed at Long Beach area. I took free bus from airport. Downtown is interesting place. Lot to see and enjoy.

 

The best Swedish restaurant is kaput - the whole building and all... They blame Covid.

Bahn mi is from Sweden eh?

We had a good time at the pearl farm. The free electric bus is crowded but we seem to use it everyday. It is a great asset to this island. We are not impressed with Vietnamese food. Everything seems bland we like Spicy food and the just is not much flavor in anything also the rice here is not that great.  Seems we are partial to Thai food.

Could be from/in any country.

It means "Bread to go". Usually sandwich in Vn. Quite boring and not healthy.

 

Vn people eat mostly pork. In North dog too. Chicken is hard to find and expensive.

Phu Quoc downtown markets had good grilled chicken. I walked to buy every other day.

The VN are big into sauces that come along with the food.

 

So yes the food may seem bland but you dip it in the spicy, or sweet, or sour sauce and get your taste buds dancing.

 

Works best for everyone that way.
