Having ventured into Saigon s food scene for a while, I have one guiding principle: the best spots are always the ones circulating via word of mouth. Quiet corners, culinary rarities and communities that have their own niches you simply don’t find these things on the search bar of an average food review channel.

Nhà Phạm, a cafe casually name-dropped by a friend of mine, is peculiar. I can only assume whoever reading this will know what I mean when they see it. But I’d like to disperse any preconceived judgment by saying that it’s not just peculiar because the decor is retro though indeed it’s a trope that’s been exploited to death by Saigonese coffee shops, causing a confusing state of nostalgia.
Incense offering in tribute to President Ho Chi Minh, martyrs State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc on May 20 offered incense and flowers to late President Ho Chi Minh and heroic martyrs at Nga Ba Giong memorial and Gieng nuoc hospital relic site in Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City on May 20 on the occasion of the late leader’s 131st birthday (May 19).
Hoc Mon district has been popular with the uprising of the 18 Vuon Trau (Areca Garden) hamlets against the French colonists in 1885, which later spread to other southern localities. However, it was cruelly suppressed by the French colonists.
In August 1941, the French administration arrested and sent several leaders of the Southern Regional Party Committee, including Nguyen Van Cu, Vo Van Tan, Phan Dang Luu, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai and others, to the firing squad.

A jailed Vietnamese blogger serving an 11-year prison term for writing articles criticizing Vietnam’s government is struggling with poor health and needs help to look after himself in the harsh conditions of his new detention center, sources close to his family said on Tuesday.
Nguyen Tuong Thuy, an independent journalist and former RFA Vietnamese Service blogger, was moved earlier this year from a Ho Chi Minh City Police detention center and sent to the Bo La prison in Binh Duong province, sources told RFA in an earlier report.
Thuy, 71, is older than many of the other inmates held at Bo La, and is often last in line when the prison canteen is opened for purchases of food, the wife of a former fellow prisoner told RFA’s Vietnamese Service on Tuesday after speaking with her husband the week before by phone.
