Chateau Elysee
We own a house and lot in the Philippines where we lived for a little over a year before our move to Saigon. For the past 3 years, hubby and I have been debating whether to sell it or keep … Continue reading

Saigon: Trading Knowledge
Living in Saigon makes non-Vietnamese speakers resourceful in finding products or services — it’s really difficult if you can’t read the Vietnamese ads and websites. Even Google Chrome’s powers cannot translate Vietnamese websites right. So anyway, a fellow neighbour, Veronica … Continue reading
Premium Gourmet Store
For every shop that closes in Phu My Hung, another one opens. A month ago, our neighbourhood grocery Fivimart closed down. Since we got here in 2009, that’s where we used to go to until we moved further away. I … Continue reading

Food Trip: An Restaurant
Thanks to our alumni dinner, we found out about Mac Thi Buoi’s best kept secret, An Restaurant. It’s found at the end of Hem 71. I thought I was familiar with Hem 71 because I eat at Lac Thai found … Continue reading
Palm Sunday
So it’s Palm Sunday again this coming weekend. We’re entering the last two weeks of Lent and some have been asking on the schedule of English masses. So here goes… March 31, Saturday – 6:30 PM – Notre Dame Cathedral … Continue reading

Diaper Cake
Taking a break from all the sweet entries that I’m posting about the Diaper Cake I got from my friends, Ruth and Armi. They gave me a humongous 4-layer diaper cake! The cake was made out of nappy pads, baby … Continue reading
Sweet Creations
This is another cake entry. It will be for a couple more I think. 😉 Unlike the Philippines where the cake industry is literally brimming with individuals offering customized cake, Saigon only has a handful of people doing this. Been … Continue reading
The Cake Factory
Last Thursday, my boss’ wife sent us a treat — some cupcakes from the The Cake Factory! They looked sweet so my Vietnamese office mates didn’t seem to take interest in them. 3 Australians and a Filipino (ME!) had a … Continue reading
