I spotted a "Singapore Hainanese chicken rice" at 385 Nguyen Tri Phuong P5, Q10. Saw quite a few singaporeans and PRCs there. Many grab food riders there too. Unfortunately, the chicken rice is not anything like singapore chicken rice. The only thing similar is the way they display the chicken white and roasted, and roasted pork at the shop front. Worth a try for the experience though.

377-379 also have

Wanna ask for advice on halong bay, i noticed the main area of attractions are usually from these 2 areas. Which should be a better area to stay in?

Usually I will choose the area with more things to do and more amenities

Just a quick question, based on Klook's itinerary to Halong Bay, can someone advise where is the Halong City Harbour?

8:00am hotel pick up or meet up at location
3.5 hour journey through rice fields to Halong City harbor
Board the cruise
Seafood lunch aboard the cruise
Explore Thien Cung Cave
Kayaking around the islands
4:30pm back to Halong City harbor
8:00pm arrival at Hanoi

It's the pier found in the middle of your map where there is a very small island.

There is another pier found on Tuan Chau island which located in south west of your map.

Anyone taken Grab from Hanoi airport to Hoan Kiem? Roughly how much to pay?

Also, how much is the 15 day validity 4G SIM card at the airport?
Klook is selling at S$9 for 7 days validity. I need it for 9 days.

Try looking at ICC qoo10? I got mine for very cheap with coupons but i had also bought a few more for other countries as well in 1 order.

Viettel, 10days, 20gb, $12. If got green member coupon of 20% off capped at $5, final will be $¥.60. Can self collect at sim lim tower or pay $0.80 for postage abt 1 week arrive. I always get my simcards from here, nvr at the country itself coz its so much cheaper.

Your cruise is half day tour only~? Chances are that you will join those PRC tourists~ Best spend 2D1N cruise to enjoy the experience~ take their bus from old quarter and go direct to their cruise berthing area~ their harbour is not just one departing station, every cruise dock at the difference area~

The highlighted area is the harbour for the cruise~ it's better to email or Whatsapp to the operator the actual location, rather you go there and find your own cos their English language is very limited~

Im taking a day tour but i intend to stay 1N at halong bay rather than return to hanoi by 7pm. If stay on the boat for a night, it is quite expensive and i cant explore since im out in the water. So i decided to drop out of tour before they head back to hanoi and then take grab to the hotel to stay a night there and explore the 2 main areas.

Just a quick check, can grab enter that place/island?

i like banh beo too. they are served on individual small saucers.

i only go D7 during the day, seems too quiet. any other interesting new district?
