HCMC Part IV: Perched on the 23rd floor for one of the loftiest views in Ho Chi Minh City. There isn't a truly dramatic backdrop though _ this could have been KL in the late '80s, without the Petronas towers and other skyscrapers.
We were fortunate to arrive here after a sudden downpour had ended; the balcony was wet, but the weather was comfortably cool and breezy.
Creative cocktails: Spiced Margarita (tequila, cointreau, peach puree, saffron spice mix) & Paddle-Pop Mojito (bacardi light, watermelon, lychee, mint, citrus).
Grassy Knolls (bombay sapphire gin, lemongrass, lychee) & Milano Martini (grey goose vodka, sugar syrup, watermelon, lime, Italian basil).
Wine Bar,
Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers,
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Blue Grassy Knoll is an australian band. :P
ReplyDeletewheres the food!?
ReplyDeleteNice wall art behind the bar.
ReplyDeleteAnd to Joe: For Sean, the alchohol is the food lah, no? :P
should have included http://partyinsaigon.com/quang-cao/Shri-Restaurant-121.html in the crawl as well... went there recently and it was excellent! an almost unobstructed 360 view of the city...
ReplyDeletemichelle: heheh, i assume they play bluegrass music (not my favorite genre!) :D
ReplyDeletejoe: this was the warm-up for the food! :D
lfb: that art would blend in nicely in my apartment, heh. anyway ya lah, there are loads of calories in cocktails. theoretically, u could fuel your body for the entire day on booze alone (add milk for protein, vitamins and minerals)
nicotinegum: hmmmm, wonder why that place didn't show up in my searches. maybe it was more recently opened...
And I wouldn't be surprised if you have indeed fueled an entire day or week on booze alone. :{
ReplyDeleteWahh..didja juz visit every hotel in the city? ;p
ReplyDeleteLfb: maybe we really should try a week of cocktails only and see if it works for weight loss. Not an economical diet plan though :p
ReplyDeleteTng: some of the nicest f&b outlets there are in the hotels :D
It should work for certain weight loss in the bank account area, though, ja?
ReplyDeleteLfb: my bank account might soon be weightless, post-Europe ... Why, it might even defy gravity :p
ReplyDeletewah you really know how to enjoy cocktails. I know nothing about them actually.. so i always order a mojito or a lychee martini
ReplyDeleteEiling: interesting, many women tend to enjoy cocktails. But I guess u've developed a stronger liking for whisky and wine :D anyways I like mojitos too, they're one of the great classics!
