The Garden Restaurant

Yesterday evening after our stroll Matteo and I went to our first restaurant together (we did have breakfast together at the hotel in Saigon and lunch with Lea and Zeke there, that experience for Matteo was not as good as this one.).... We were just going to stop in so I could have a coffee, and maybe we were going to be joined by Lea and Zeke, but they couldn't make it and it was so nice and not very busy and Matteo seemed to like it so I ended up having some food to eat....it was delicious and Matteo was so good...we played and looked and took photos and he only started to fuss when he wanted to sleep and his timing was great...I ordered, we played, he fussed, and then fell asleep and then the food came...not sure what it was though my appetizers had shrimp...the menu was all in Vietnamese and I ordered via the photos...again delicious...I had shrimp appetizers that I ate too quickly and did not get a photo, and then some steamed meat and mushroom dumplings and then the pho was also delicious and I think it was pork...anyhow as you will see from the photos we arrived when it was still light out and left when dark descended...he slept and I enjoyed the lovely evening...it is very near the Binh Ans so we did not have far to go to get home...but I thought it was a great excursion....one of many...this is the restaurant that has wrapped its palm trees in red and green in honour of Christmas, one of only a few Christmas decorations around...
