Vietnam!!!!!

A night of romantic fine dining out on Saigon River. The restaurant Mars Venus is a couple's specific restaurant that is on a floating island in the middle of the river. You get a cute boat out to the restaurant, and then the romance commences. Fairy lights galore!

The atmosphere was gorgeous. They play pop music but done in the classical style, which Michael really enjoyed because we have taken up to watching Bridgerton in our downtime here and he is fully invested and that's a staple on the show. Which was funny because we weren't expecting it. They also played Tale As Old As Time, which was very romantic as that's the song I walked down the aisle to. A gorgeous coincidence. They also played some really random songs that sounded super romantic in this style- like Numb by Linkin Park. So random haha!

The food itself was lovely. Incredible sodas full of flavour. We both had pasta entrees (Michael had lobster bisque gnocchi- absolutely divine bisque omg yummm, and I had creamy crab fettucini that was so tasty), Michael didn't realise his would include muscles so he ordered muscles on their own as an entree whoops haha. Still, very yummy. For mains, Michael had pork ribs with chips and salad, and I had hoisin duck with pureed sweet potato and veges. Delish delish delish.

2 seafood pastas, 2 main meals, a muscle entree, and 4 drinks cost just under $80, which is crazy to us. Not the cheapest meal we could have in Vietnam, but for the experience of the boat ride out, the design, the service and the quality of the food, it was worth it.

The staff also came out with a ring light and took photos of us. It was very cute and Michael was such a good sport given that posing is so not his thing. I got some very adorable photos as a result that I get to treasure 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞Baca selengkapnya
