TripAdvisor “A Quiet Haven” — Kati C. Vienna, Austria. August 9, 2014: Our taxi driver was a bit crazy and aggressive as he was driving through Saigon circus, and he overcharged us for our ride to Ma Maison (expect to pay 4 to 7 dollars), so that was not the best of starts to Vietnam. Ma Maison was amazing though. They changed our dollars to dong so we could pay for a meal on the street. They brought us to a place that had great food. They helped us cross the street to get to the place that sold the great food ( I admit being a bit ashamed needing help in crossing the street, but wow, for an Austrian girl, this Saigon is like a 24/7 Prater and crossing the street is like venturing your life in a weird computer game. Even, or especially, at 10 o clock at night. And any help is appreciated. Since our dinner was not Ba Xeo, what I had hoped to try, got a note at breakfast that had the best addresses for Ba Xeo on it so that I could find one during the day. They had coffee sweeties. They had fresh passion fruit juice for free, even in the evening. They had super friendly staff and one of them even spoke German like hed just arrived back after a 20 year stay in Bavaria ( how you do that when your own language is so different to German remains a mystery to me - I was so impressed). Their room on the top floor allows you to spy on Vietnamese P.E. lesson plans, in case youre interested... And the peace of this place allows your for a good nights sleep, in case you need that after a day in the chaos that is Saigon.
