Let me tell you about this hidden gem I found in Ho Chi Minh City called Quán Nướng Chị Hai. It's not fancy by any means, but that's exactly what makes it charming. It's a local spot, tucked away on a side street, and you can tell by the way everyone seems to know each other.
I ventured in because I was craving some grilled goodness, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! I ordered the đậu hũ trứng non (beancurd with egg and preserved egg) - it was massive!
