The Panasonic Beauty Roadshow at Saigon Centre was really an impressive one.
The products were well displayed and the ladies dressed in pink costumes were keen and helpful to advise
on the usage and benefits of the products that I was interested in.
By the time I got to Saigon Centre in the evening, there was already a lucky draw happening.
I spoke to one of the winners and she told me that she never knew Panasonic Beauty products could be this wonderful,
and it was an electric toothbrush for her.
I continued to explore the roadshow further and spoke to the hair expert
who was giving a hair make-over performance on stage that night.
He told me more about what was popular in Vietnam today and gave me a few tips
on how I can style and take care of my hair.
This event is informative and well organized to share the customers about the latest beauty product range from Panasonic.
The booths at the roadshow were exquisitely decorated,
catching the attention of many ladies and made them stop to check it out!

Nam Giao restaurant is well-known for serving authentic Hue food.
Before my visit here today, I had no idea Nam Giao served such delicious Hue food!
I learned from the manager that Hue cuisine is food for the emperor and with his kind hospitality,
I felt very much like a princess too.
Nam Giao with its rustic atmosphere, gave me a feeling of nature and home, all in one place.
The flowers and decor were pretty too.
The dishes that were recommended to me such as Va Tron (Fig Salad), Bun Bo Hue (Hue Spicy Beef Soup Noodle)
and Banh Uot Thit Nuong (Grilled Beef Roll), they were really impressive from presentation to taste.
I particularly liked the Bun Bo Hue, and though I have tried other Bun Bo else where, there is nothing quite like this one.
I will definitely bring my friends and family here next time!
This is Nam Giao, one of the best Hue dishes I have tasted!
Va Tron (Fig Salad) fills me up and keeps me healthy!
Another interesting dish: Banh Beo Tom Tuoi.
Friendly staff at Nam Giao, made me feel like a princess from the Royal family.

Before today, I have only heard about Concept Coiffure.
So when I first stepped into the salon, I was warmly greeted and invited into their premises, with its beautiful atmosphere.
Sandrine, the owner of Concept Coiffure, told me that the concept of this salon is to provide a modern space
that caters to the beauty and styling needs of both adults and even kids.
I was there for hair treatment , so she took a look at my hair and suggested to me the deep root treatment,
since my hair was dry with damaged ends.
I felt so well taken care of when Sandrine and her hair experts gave my hair a good wash,
massage and treatment, leaving my hair shiny and new!
I think the treatment will be good for Vietnamese ladies, since our weather here is dry and hot.
When I was there, I also noticed that Concept Coiffure is really popular because customers came in one after another
and it was really busy.

Rosa Blanca is a rare, beautiful and relaxing spot, in the middle of District One, where it is usually very busy.
Stepping indoors, away from the hot and crowded streets, I felt at ease almost immediately.
