Saigon City Guide
I see this travel guide while I am traveling in Ho Chi Minh City. I already have Lonely Planet but it's not really useful and I decide to give this book a try. Yeah, it's a new book so it's up-to-date. The eating chapter is stunning. Very detailed and practical. If you prefer to try local food, this book is your best bet with lots of local eateries. As I am particularly impressed by the Oc (snails) dishes mentioned in this book, I visit the snail eatery they suggest and have to say that those snail dishes are some of the tastiest dishes I have ever tried. The local coffee scene is also well covered with lots of lovely cafes. It also has tons of images for all the places (i.e.attractions, eating, drinking etc) which are great. So it's much easier for me to make decision. The maps are big, detailed, and very easy-to-read. For me, maps of this book are the best of all travel guide I have ever read.
Amazing
Very comprehensive guide with excellent eating information.
