With everyone heading back to their hometowns to celebrate Tết with their families, restaurants and cafes are now starting to put their “We’re Closed” signs up. It’s going to be a little tricky for those staying in Saigon, dining-wise.
Considering the current situation, this seemed like a helpful article to jumpstart seeing many locals and expats will be staying in the city this Tết.
We’re lucky to be living in Vietnam where the cases are incredibly low compared to the rest of the world. During this time, please be mindful to adhere to safe distancing rules and continue to wear your masks when you’re out.
If you come across any other outlets that are open during this time, please do drop a comment or send an email at joveleugeniachan@gmail.com.
