Chwee Kueh (water rice cake) is a breakfast dish commonly eaten in Singapore. The rice cake is made with rice flour and water steamed in a metal mould, giving it its signature shape. It is topped with chai poh (preserved radish) that is flavoured with garlic and soya sauce before being fried in oil. Chilli sauce is usually served on the side.
For my challenge, I visited a specialist Chwee Kueh shop at Taman Jurong to get 100 Chwee Kueh to destroy. The shop is run entirely by an old man who has been making Chwee Kueh for decades and has been at this location for 5 years. His Chwee Kueh is very affordably priced at 5/10 for $1.50/$3. There are more famous and Michelin-awarded places out there, but I want to help less well-known and legacy businesses.
The rice cakes on their own are actually rather bland and light, which is normal for rice cakes as they are meant to act as vessels for the toppings. The preserved radish were very savoury and barely sweet, unlike some of the more famous ones. As they were practically deep fried in oil, it was a very oily and cloying topping. The chilli compensated the heaviness of the topping well, with a lightly spicy and heavily smoky flavour.
At 100 rice cakes weighing around 5KG, it was quite a challenge to complete as the oily and heavy preserved radish got to me quick. While adding the chilli sauce helped, I still had to push myself to complete the challenge. As always, if you order a reasonable portion of 5 or 10, this would be a hearty breakfast to start the day with. Do support local businesses and this old man by visiting his Chwee Kueh shop!

Follow my journey from Melbourne and its laneways with awesome coffee and restaurants down to the beautiful Mornington Peninsula to swim with Australian Fur Seals, soak in hot springs and eat tasty fresh Australian food. We flew over to Tasmania where we got to see whales and dolphins out on a boat and experience some pretty amazing scenery. Check out my oyster shucking skills where I finally managed to eat the best oyster I've ever tasted and drink some pretty awesome wine. Did I mention I got to rub a wombat belly? #lifegoals. Australia I love you!

As you know Saigon is broken up in many different districts. The numbered districts get all the attention. But did you know that Tan Binh is home to the oldest and first Korean area in Saigon? Phu My Hung attracted the Koreans much later on. Today, many of the best Korean restaurants are found on Thanh Long St. and not in Phu My Hung. You can access the Koreatown minutes away from the airport exit toll booths. It's directly behind the Superbowl, which used to be a Korean mall back in the day.
Not many people know that public swimming pools exist in Saigon. They are largely tucked away from the main road and are grouped with the sports or recreational areas. For fifty cents or more you can take a dip and go swimming. You also have to wear a certain dress code of swim drunks and some kind of swim wear. Bikinis are optional. Why don't I like to swim? I find it kind of gross to be in the same water with 100 other people, primarily kids. This is why I don't even like to swim at the beach. Not to mention how I can't swim. But in an upcoming Ho Tram video, you will see me swim for the first time. We didn't stay too long at the swimming pool here btw, located on CMT8
Another unique thing about Tan Binh is the fact that there's a random farm at the end of Chan Hung Street. A farm in the middle of an urban sprawl. People were actually cultivating produce to sell, not necessarily just to eat. Nearby on the same street there are also many places where you can eat bun thit nuong or bun cha. I was already full so I didn't eat anything, but OldBoy took a few bites and was in heaven. I'll definitely return if I'm ever in the area.
Another thing to note is the fact that Tan Binh is home to many Catholics who live in these neighborhoods centered around a church. During mass, you'll see people walking to and fro the churches. It's an awesome sight and a reminder that religion can bring people together. It also exemplifies how close communities can be. I mean, when I walked down these alleyways I was stopped and asked many times why I was there. People keep an eye out for each other here. Their alleys and neighborhood is all they know. Exploring alleys is another thing that many tourists fail to do. It's exciting and dangerous at the same time. Be careful, but you'll have a good time... unless you have a bad time.
And lastly, to wrap up the half day, eating some be thui or lightly roasted calf meat with the skin and all is pure bliss. It's all about the sauce and it's all about the beer. This is definitely a drinking type of a meat. Unfortunately, I don't drink that often and this wasn't the night for it. This meat basically tastes like a light beef with virtually no fat. The meat is so smooth. It literally melts in your mouth. There's not much flavoring. It's all about the dipping sauce. And the best part is you get the cartilage and skin in there as well. Now, there was a hitch when it came to filming this. The Be Thui places
in the area were not very happy with any camera action. I had to quietly do it. It was a very hostile environment for cameras. This Be Thui Place is at 266 Bac Hai.
I know these aren't all the best places and whatnot in Tan Binh. I just wanted to give you a better idea of what's out there before you say that there's nothing to do in Saigon. There's always something to do.
