Amazing Fried Chicken lemongrass and chili

This is a traditional Vietnamese dish for cold weather, and can you guess why? This dish has that subtle heat from red chili and the richness from garlic and soy sauce that can make you feel warmed up in no time.The specialty of this dish is that it’s borderline between stir-fried and braised food. You will first stir-fry the chicken and then add the marinade and let it simmer and reduce to a thick sauce. This way the chicken will have a soft shiny glaze finish with a beautiful caramel color. Normally for this dish Vietnamese use different parts of the chicken, especially the dark meat of the thighs along with skin and bones. But since I think you’d enjoy a healthier dish made from chicken breast without skin or fat, I’ve made this recipe just for you. And the good news is, not only it is healthier, it is also quicker. All the more reason to hop in and discover this dish right now!

Taste a delicious Ho Chi Minh by night by Vespa motobikes

A true Saigon is going to surely be shown to your eyes on this vespa motorbike journey. Getting on a scooter in one of the busiest cities in the world with a stranger seemed like a sensible idea. Walking is not popular in Ho Chi Minh City – a city with 7.43 million motorbikes – so being on one is the ideal way to see the buzzing centre of the city. Let's experience the feeling when scooters, taxis, buses and bikes come at you from every angle. Though it sounds scary, the fact is that negotiating Ho Chi Minh City’s night traffic on the back of a vintage Vespa turns out to be exhilarating. The breeze on your face; the exotic smells of spices; the people watching; the bustling night markets and the neon lights of the bars and massage parlours, all will begin to have a hypnotic effect. Sitting back of the bikes, weaving through every small lane, watching the daily life in Saigon as if you were a Vietnamese citizen hanging out with a closed friend, enjoying typical local dishes, listening to the sound and admiring the colors of life here in the most honest way. This is a really worthwhile trip with plenty of tasty local food. Let's enjoy the thrill of living life like the Saigonese.
