Ice Cream + Ben Thanh Market

---

Just a few pics of Ben Thanh Market, a huge market right in the heart of Saigon. If you can't find something here, you can pretty much stop looking because they sell just about everything here. Prices are kinda on the steep side but the selection is endless.

Downtown HCMC is called Saigon, we spent a good part of the day here. We visited two ice cream places: Bo Gia and Kem Bach Dang. The latter had an awesome view of downtown HCMC, great for people watching but the ice cream was not anywhere close to the smaller Bo Gia.

Cost about 50,000 VND. Coconut ice cream

Kem Bo Gia
A little cheaper but way better. This is Bo Gia ice cream, with a mix of lychee, peach, cherry, dried apple and jelly. Delicious

The infamous Ben Thanh Market
The traffic is really light at this time because it's noon and everybody is sleeping

Dessert stall inside Ben Thanh Market
The huge dude blocking half of the picture is my food savvy cousin Binh, understandably so.

Bootleg DVD's stall inside Ben Thanh
Huge selection, even the latest seasons of TV series are available. Might try to get some of these past customs when I get back.......
