Elisa Floating Restaurant |
The Welcome Dinner was held this evening at the Elisa Floating Restaurant on the Saigon River in HCMC. This restaurant is a unique 4 storey timber structure in the shape of a large boat that stays at the one spot on the river.
On our arrival we went to the top deck to enjoy drinks and snacks before a few welcome speeches were made.

The Welcome Dinner was served in the Elisa Floating Restaurant, with musicians playing traditional Vietnamese music as we ate.
I was impressed with the menu, where dish after dish was brought out for us to enjoy. They showcased the wonderful food that Vietenam has to offer. These included:
Crab Sausage |
- Wrapped foods from 3 major regions of Vietnam (Fresh salad roll, Spring roll, Steamed rice sheet with grilled meat)
- Lotus stem salad with pork meat and shrimp
- Chicken soup with lotus seed
- Crab sausage
- Grilled duck breast with honey
- Seafood fried rice wrapped in lotus leaf
- Tea and lotus seed moon cake.

The Welcome Dinner and River Parade were a most enjoyable introduction to ITE HCMC 2014.
