Ho Chi Minh City Halal Food

Halal restaurant in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.




Ho Chi Minh is the largest city in Vietnam with 10 million population.   Muslims is  minority  in Ho Chi Minh city which is about 0.1%.



The busy street of Ho Chi Minh.  To me it is a city of motocycles.  You need strong guts to cross the road.


To Muslims tourist halal food is not a problem in Ho Chi Minh city.  There are many restaurants and stalls that serve halal cuisine.



Most of Muslims population here is the ethnic Cham.  Their roots are from the Malay ancestry.  For example the similarity of language.  At the background is a restaurant with Malay characteristic.  The Kampung Pandan Restaurant.  Kampung Pandan is a township in Kuala Lumpur. 



  

My friends and I having dinner at Nabil Restaurant.  Are you surprise if I tell you one " roti canai " cost RM8 in Hi Chi Minh, where as in my home town Ipoh it's only RM1.





This central market in the city is a one stop shopping center.  It offers food ,drinks, groceries, garments, and souvenirs.



The goods here are at reasonable price.  Within 2 hours they can tailored your suite.
