Rene's Saigon: Vietnamese Specialties

After a short stroll at Baybay and a failed attempt to find Camella Homes we headed to a discreet restaurant at Rizal Avenue extension, a short distance from the Puerto Princesa Airport. The place is called Rene's Saigon: Vietnamese Specialties, I don't know about other places but in our city, Vietnamese foods are a hit. I always hear my friend's talked about this place, that's why Mayette and I will try their famous Chao Long for the first time.

I don't know if it's because of the cloudy weather, the place seems pretty quite and glommy considering it's still part of Rizal Avenue which is a major street of the city, but this atmosphere can serve as a charm to invite food trippers. The place has a native style, with a kubo outside where we chose to eat.

The difference between Saigon's and other popular Chaolong or Vietnamese houses is, this place serves better, with a waitress that will bring you the actual menu and they serve a lot more authentic Vietnamese dishes. The comparison in terms of atmosphere and service is not an add-on for free. Looking at the prices, Sagon's is up to 20% higher compare to its competitor but pretty sulit naman for the food do taste good and the place is clean and cozy.

 

Enjoying our hot bowl of chaolong and healthy garlic breads.

After a ton of chit-chat and a full stomach, I say Rene's Saigon is a place to visit for those who wants quality servings of authentic Vietnamese food.

The owner is obviously an APO Fraternity Member, Logos and memorabilia's are everywhere. Ahem Brian ;)
