Immerse in the world of martial arts flavors in Saigon

Fans of this genre in Saigon or Saigon tourists will be thrilled by dishes like Celestial Map, Heart-Wrenching Chronicles, or Black-White Dual Sects,...

With a red-themed decor, high-hanging lanterns, Tam Quan entrance, and staff dressed in ancient tale characters, Duong Ba Ho Tea House not only turns heads but also prompts self-acknowledgment to 'explore when there's a chance.'

The diverse range of teas here is not only linked to martial arts schools, techniques, and commonly seen titles in this genre, but also carries names of movies like Celestial Map, Heart-Wrenching Chronicles, The Four Great Actors, and even the name of a captivating elixir present in all these films: Weight-Loss Incense. Among the variety of hot teas, the standout is West Gate North Road. This tea boasts the fragrant aroma, rich taste of coconut milk, fresh creaminess of sticky rice, smoothness of glutinous rice flour, the chewiness of sweet potatoes, and the softness of young coconut strands.

The highlight of Thu Huong, a cold dessert associated with the dream of Duong Ba Ho, is the fusion of black from sago pearls, yellow from ripe mangoes, and brown from flan. This dish earns two points: the dense texture and distinct fragrance of the flan, and the specially crafted coffee ice cream beneath the three aforementioned components. The dessert, Giang Nam's Number One Actor, offers different sensations in a single bite. First, the soft, smooth feeling of the sweet cake crust, followed by the rich, soft layer of fresh cream, and finally, the fresh, fragrant, cool sweetness of ripe mangoes. Any diner or Saigon tourist would want to savor these desserts with peculiar names and eye-catching presentations.

This dish is prepared relatively simply. After spreading the thin crust, place ripe mangoes on top and pour fresh cream over them before rolling it up. Then, drizzle mango syrup on top. However, achieving the right thickness of the crust without breaking or tearing depends greatly on the chef's skill in the dough stuffing and the ratio of ingredients.

Beyond the tea desserts, the establishment also captivates patrons with two unparalleled dishes: fish ball curry - currently with an unstable supply, and crab porridge. According to the owner: 'To enjoy this dish, it must be ordered a day in advance. The porridge is made with premium ingredients, so if additional portions are requested, diners must pay up to 100,000 VND for a bowl of porridge and 150,000 VND for a crab.' The unique decor and distinctive recipe will undoubtedly attract Saigon tourists to come here for a culinary experience.

Address: Duong Ba Ho Restaurant, 185 Vo Van Tan, Ward 14, District 3; 721 Nguyen Trai, Ward 11, District 5; 400B Le Van Sy, Ward 14, District 3.
