A time to remember

When you think of the historical past you’ll be remembering the spectacular man made constructions and natural things in the world. Right???
A various list of the wonders of the world have been compiled from the natural wonders, to ancient wonders and the modern wonders.

You might be wondering where I am heading with all this thinking of the past.. hence the title a Time to remember well that is exactly what this restaurant drawn its inspiration from.
The 7 wonders of the world representing perfection and plenty of the by gone era are monumentally replicated in the sprawling grounds all 4,000 sqm meter of it.
The 7 wonders of the world namely : The Great Wall of china, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, AngKor Wat, Pyramids of Giza, India’s Taj Mahal, Terra Cotta Warriors and added the Ha long bay legend.
And obviously the choice to name the restaurant: 7 Wonder World Restaurant. And don’t forget the café word to complete the title.
It is near china town and located in Dist 6 at the back of METRO cash & carry the mega supermarket now in HCMC. The location is far really really far from the tourist crowds in HCMC. And going here you need a map. As you well know your eater outer foodie junkie knows how to read maps and took the public transportation to the test.

THE WAY : Make sure to go there on a Sunday so that the bus are not that full and easy commute. Take the BLUE BUS No. 01 from the BUS station opposite the famous BEN THAN MARKET then this bus stops directly in front of another landmark of china town in Dist 5 CHOLON market. Half way there. As Confucius says : Patience is a virtue…. So from Cholon market take the Xe Om bike to Dist 6 only few kilometers and presto at the back of the METRO mega supermarket you arrived in your destination in full no missing body parts I hope due to the streets are being built and diggings are a plenty this side of town.
Transpo expense:. 3,000 vnd Bus ride + Xe Om 20,000 vnd. around $1.2 dollar ONLY ONE WAY so total $ 2.4 dollars…..take note…..
If you will take the TAXI … Just imagine the traffic and since the place from Dist 1 to Dist 6 is quite far I tell you’ll be paying 200,000 vnd roughly $11 and this is only one way so total $22 dollars two way not a good thing if your stingy.

Upon arrival your tourist foodie took the pics for POSEperity…hahahah coz this might be the first and last time I’ll be here. So photo ops galore.
When you dine in the pavilions of the The Great wall of china I ordered of course What else !!!! Go CHINESE.!!! Well the establishment is know for their Vietnamese & Chinese cuisine. Okey all the way to china town just to sample the dumplings, siomai, fried noodle and the staple of honey cured pork with Chinese fried rice.
Did I mention the dumplings are from 23,000 vnd to 25,000 vnd $1- $2 and the main courses are 50,000 vnd to 90,000 vnd... $2-$5. They also have the Crabs & sea foods wok style.
Well folks I miss the Chinese take outs… but this one are the authentic ones… in fairness they’ re good.
Was this all worth it….. the food is good… but the travel and the fascinating road adventure I just wish they got this one in Dist 3 or 10 perhaps more nearer to the tourist.
That said my Sunday adventure as I return to Dist 1 with mask on hand. Is indeed a time to remember.
