yesterday night went there with my colleague at around 7:30PM. Almost full house.

Ordered Sweet & Sour Pork, Omellete Onion and Taufu Pork.

Well, i like the Sweet & Sour Pork, not too much on the Omellete and taufu pork, still acceptable... But make me miss my hometown food lol

Damage : 225K dong

p/s : the patron there i think all is malaysian, speak chinese and malaysian english

Yeah, not much complaints.

We usually order curry, cos there's no curry in Saigon. Hahaha

make sure you visit Saigon Square to buy super cheap Under Armor/Nike/Adidas reject jersey (those dry cool types).
Mostly are great qualities (rejected due to printing error etc je)

Its RM17+/- for each thumbup.gif

Totally agree on this.

Buy the limousine ticket to Vung Tau (About VND 160,000 1-way)
Then just grab around in Vung Tau

I'll be travelling this week to Ho Chi Minh and I have a few questions,

1. Is it better to use Dong or USD?
2. Should I exchange my money here or in HCM?
3. Anyone used Grab before? Are there additional charges if I use my CC?

1. Dong
2. HCMC
3. I prefer CC. Standard charges, nothing additional. If u can use BigPay cc, the rates are better.
