Hi there, I will be visiting Saigon on dec 8th, and your blog has been a good source of info! thank you so much, but if you don't mind me asking, where is the best place to buy sea cucumber? as my mum will love to get it...thanks alot
3 places I can think of : Ben Thanh Day Market (probably most expensive too), An Dong Market aka Cho An Dong basement(my mum says it's cheap)and Binh Tay Market aka Cho Binh Tay (I've seen lots of sea cucumber there but haven't bought from there yet). See http://www.his3site.com/search/label/an%20dong
