Okie dokey, I'll go later today. Just came back from a restaurant near Ben thanh ... go into an alley 20m from ben thanh and the food is good, price wise ... tourist price
Place name Bep mi in, they are using biodegradable straw ... some kind of stem of a plant ... we are still pening bout how to get rid of plastic straw
food is fine, a little overpriced but overall affordable
just do not shop at ben thanh market, window shop is fine but do not buy there
this is not the 1st time i heard people got scam in ben thanh market
and as for the straw, i don't know why people pening
thailand already has the solution long ago

Not everything la....if you know how to bargain, it's ok price. Local markets, a bit hard to communicate....
ben thanh market's seller is very pushy, they keep pushing u to buy
if u don't buy after asking, they black face...those are not the vietnamese i know
u go an dong market, they understand numbers and simple english perfectly fine
do u know i go an dong market buy dried fruit using what language?...cantonese
yes, alot of saigon people can speak fluent cantonese somemore that area so near chinatown
and there is a street south of ben thanh that all people speak purely cantonese
