5 local hot spots to check out in Ho Chi Minh City - SilverKris

"Housed in a former French colonial shophouse that doubles as a bistro and motorcycle-accessory retail space, this spot is anchored by owner Nguyen Phi Linh’s impressive Cold War–era motorcycle collection, some of which is on display. By day it offers a cool, quiet respite with Vietnamese set lunches such as black tiger shrimp stir-fry, fish curry and stewed pork ribs with apple; by night it livens up with live bands, local Te Te craft beer and the occasional motorcycle rally that draws a young, leather-clad crowd. Tucked inside a narrow courtyard in an up-and-coming area easily reachable from the city centre, it combines café comfort with a strong biker culture vibe." - Matthew Cowan
