Thanks Sinh Cafe. It was fun .
The auntie was super nice.. even packed the sauce separately as she say this will make the crispy carrot cake too soggy by the time we bring it back to hotel.
Started to rain again..... but what the heck.. we just explore around anyway
Not to mention the food here are much more expensive than Pho 2000 and the food is not even comparable to pho 2000 too.
