QUOTE(blueblueoutofblue @ Aug 16 2019, 03:01 PM) 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

We usually order stuff like curry fish head, fish intestines, belacan chicken, steamed fish, salted egg prawn, hokkien char, wa tan hor, sweet sour pork. Chu char food lo... I find it quite ok, so we go there. Do share if you find any nice places.

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?
