what u buying?? like nothing to buy leh

Have...
Rejected goods like North Face, Deuter, osprey,

The local Viet nam brand Narcissco for their extremely comfy undies, shorts, t shirt

For leather goods and bags, there's Trang Vang, Ca Sau Thanh Vinh, Ca Sau Huy Hoang, Xuongda.vn, Kieu Hung Limited Company


Many of the stalls at Ben Thanh night market and Malaysia street sell straight-out replicas... Mainly from China.

As for shoes, so far, it's difficult to ID the replicas from the Rejects.

If you are buying some vietnam food back for colleagues.

Just keep it on the safe side.

Buy macadamia nuts, cashew nuts, dried fruits, dried sour plums, peanuts.

If you wanna buy those very local Vietnamese traditional snacks and dessert, just buy A BIT will do...
Just one small box because alot of the local Vietnam snacks can only last 5 to 7 days.

If you buy too much and no body wanna eat them... All go to waste

7-8 years ago when I first go to Vietnam for biz trip... I buy back some of the following for my colleagues...

In the end, they kpkb say "too sweet"... "Not nice", "taste weird"

Since then I just keep to the usuals

Please check which stalls sell QC rejects (if it's even available) of branded clothing eg Nike, UA, Adidas, & how much to expect. I don't want to end up paying same price for fake/pirated goods. Thank you.

The high quality replicas cost almost the same as the rejects.

Rejects are cheap so high quality replicas cost around the same.

One easy way to spot a fake/replica is that the stall inside Ben Thanh market allows you to Bargain the price.

I won't go into details... Later tio ban.

Just search YouTube and Google... The answers are all there

Yeah i went to the so call reject shop... cotton tees are fixed 150.. plastic one 100.. but buy more they give discount.. actually for tees quite easy to see.. the quality definitely much better then thailand.

 

[Henabi]

There are quite a number of shops in Ben Thanh which sell at fixed price...

Those not recommended. Fake rejects

Need to really go right into the middle of the market. Hot and stuffy.

And slowly feel the materials.

If you own the originals, it's pretty easy to tell the difference once your hands and fingers start feeling the material.

Same goes for Saigon Square (opposite Taka)

For Vietnamese instant coffee...

Avoid G7 because you will hate the smell when you go to toilet.

Go for Other brands like
"cafe Phuong Vy"
"Highland coffee"
"trung nguyen Sang tao"
"Vinacafe"
"Mac coffee"
"MCO"
"Me Trang"

So far.... These are brands which the coffee crazy people in my company loves and prefers.

anyone have reliable driver contact? going hcm 4d3n with bro & pregnant sis-in-law hence need driver for convenience.. thks

The local snacks like banh pia are awful. Singapore wont like the taste. Too sweet and not much taste. Just buy a little bit to let the folks know how yucky it is. Don't buy too much coffee powder. Singaporeans too lazy to brew it, and the taste is bitter siap siap. G7 already available in lelong shops here.
Can buy jackfruit chips, cashew nuts (w/o skin).
