Question : Anyone knows good food and good place for shopping in Hoi An?
Answer : Hoi An is really small with a few main street and tons of tailors store. If you are talking about a mall, there is none. So if you want to make your clothes done here, prepare for what you want in mind and order it at the tailor.Food: my personal taste is Mermaid restaurant. Other than that, there are Cargo Club by the river in the town centre is well-known too.
Answer : Agree with Saggie Hoi An is a small but beautiful town apart from tailors and the market there is not much shopping. I have also found in Vietnam in particular what you see and love in say Hanoi you probably won't see in HCMC etc so when you see something you like buy it there and then. Hoi An is full of great earing places if you want something special with great atmosphere you can't go past Brothers at least IMO.
Answer : should try street foods in Hoi An. Yaly is the best tailor but quite expensive
Answer : Hoi An’s reputation for being one of the most touristy towns in Vietnam might put some people off a visit; and yes, the 460 tailors all squabbling for your business as you stroll through the old town can be a little relentless, and yes, $5 a night accommodation doesn’t exist. Some of the best dining, however, outside of the big cities of Hanoi and Saigon can be had here, from cheap street eats to fabulous five-star feasts. If you are looking to sample some of the finest fare Vietnam has to offer, Hoi An makes for the ultimate gourmet getaway. And not only can you rampage your way through regional cuisine, you can learn to cook it too, quite often at the very place you tried it.
With top international chefs Gordon Ramsey, Anthony Bourdain, Luke Nguyen and The Hairy Bikers all having passed through Hoi An, we even have a few cooking celebrities: Ms Phuong of bahn mi fame, still serving the exact same dish from the humble street stall that Bourdain put on the map back in 2009 and mild-mannered entrepreneur Ms Vy, who is the driving force behind Mermaid, Cargo, Morning Glory, Cua Dai Hotel and the ingenious new Market Restaurant on An Hoi near the night market.
The latter is a sumptuous three-storey restaurant take on street food, where you can order and watch regional specialities cooked at individual “stalls” with choices including every day dishes, seafood barbecue and a brilliant section featuring the weird and wonderful – quite possibly the only place we’ve been brave enough to sample silk worms and jellyfish.
The Tran family responsible for the famous Hoi An delicacy white rose have featured in many travel shows and then there’s the charming Duc, the famed chef responsible for the exceptional Mango Mango and Mango Room restaurants in town, where the food he serves tells the story of his culinary adventures through Malaysia and the Americas after fleeing Vietnam as a refugee. His latest “coming home to mama’s cooking” restaurant Mai Ca opened its doors in 2012 with an affordable menu packed full of real Vietnamese family recipes; this is one of the only places in town where the seafood hotpot lives up to its price tag.
