[SpawnXp]

Can I ask is 7D6N a bit long to spend there to explode the tourist attraction in HCMC ?

This will be my first time visiting Vietnam.

thats super long. for just hcmc, u can do it within a day, or maybe a day and a half

 

[TLCTLC88]

no la
viet is so much cheaper when compared to singapore. going out, eating, having fun all cheaper then sg.
i go there every month cause i run a small adult entertainment business there

Cheaper than Malaysia and Thailand I heard. If I need help for fnb recommendation, will look for u.

I am going for 5 days 16th to 20th Oct, consider too long? Checked the airfares flying in on Thursday is cheaper than Friday. If come back on Sunday also cheaper than Monday which is a PH. Husband ok with 5 days, just relax and eat more viet food.

Any day trip to recommend? No mekong River, I cannot take ferry.

fnb there is cheap and expensive options. cheap is street food. expensive have all the fine dining places.
basically u can pay food court prices and dine in restaurant there.

5 days ok lor, but i think day 3 or 4 u will be bored already.
day 1, all the must go places, pink church, market, museum and stuffs
day 2, cafe, cafe building, some shopping at night go walking street for the atmosphere
day 3 maybe can go mui ne or goto vung tau for seafood.

jap town have alot of nice jap food, but beware la, u go at night, its a very very very messy place
most of the places there are closed after lunch and will only open after 5 or 6pm for dinner

i dont take seafood, u really want good seafood buffet goto hotel nikko's buffet.
i usually goto gyu kaku if i want cheap and good jap buffet.
if not inside japan town theres a bbq shop opposite torisho, not bad.
fujiro also not bad for tonkasu , because they open the whole day.
if not the izakaya beside miu bar also not

Nikko hotel is over rated and for tourists only. C Est La Vie at Mai House Saigon D3 is much better and only 47sgd. haha its a hidden gem

But i heard from vietnamese friends that there is a Vietnam Buffet Chain that offers good value seafood for only 30 sgd but outside D1

Will try those place you recommend one day

 

[SpawnXp]

theres always 299k/199k buffet outside of d1,d2,d3,d10.
only u dare to go only anot.
i go until boring already. after going, really makes me wonder how much is their food cost, since i used to do fnb

You meant Poseidon seafood bbq & hotpot buffet? They have outlets at Thao Dien and SC Vivocity too. With the depreciation of VND, it costs less than 30SGD per pax.

Oh Yes Poseidon. Have you tried? Is it really that good?

I had a very enjoyable time at C Est La Vie for 52sgd, seafood buffet on Fri and Sat nights including lobsters and meaty crabs.

Nope. I don't enjoy buffet. I normally go to Hai San Hoang Gia for live seafood or Sup Bao Ngu Vi Ca Ong Sui for dried seafood (i.e. 佛跳墙).

 

[TLCTLC88]

Where to eat vietnamese bbq in D1 or D3? Those cook on the mesh types, not like thai, korean or Japanese bbq kind.

 

[finale1]

Anyone has recommendation for good hotel in D1, away from noisy streets around 30sgd a night?
