flowers displaying at one of the main entrances
tropical fruits everywhere...

noodles with types of meat...30,000 dong
noodles with types of meat...30,000 dong
i prefer this bowl of chicken soup noodles 25,000 dong = RM5.60.. not cheap though..
after food, we shopped and shopped...beautiful colourful wall deco on display but I didnt buy any of that..
hhmmm..i love these though, bought 2 of those...100,000 dong-22rm..
many many types of stalls...
many many clog sandals too, dont know what to choose actually...
ended up with these 2 pairs...price is 3usd each, not advisable to buy too many..why? its too heavy..(my friend bought 7 pairs and thought of selling them back to the stall the next day.....haha)
Part 11... to be continued tomorrow?
Woooo.. nice nice.. the clogs not comfortable to wear la. I've a pair..and the soles are slippery.Better tell ur frens to be careful.. Can't wait for part 2 :)
ReplyDeletehaha.. bought back as gifts..but heavy gifts la... i also hv 1 pair bought from hanoi last yr.. still in the cupboard..well..ladies ma.. everything also must buy one..
ReplyDeleteHi Claire! Wow nice shots! I feel so happy to see photos about HCMC again! And guess what? Referring to the photo with the cloak shoes, and a woman wearing beige color sitting on the stool, if I am not wrong, I bought my shoes from her too! This stall is near one of the entrances in Ben Thanh market. Is it?

yes Eunice, u r very right..the stall is very near to the entrance and they put all the stools for us to sit and choose the pattern before they nailed it to the cloaks/clogs? haha.. i remember u saying 3usd for a pair..thanks...cos we really bargained to that price too.. couldnt be lowered anymore..
ReplyDeleteWow, so efficient! Started your post with food again :-P
ReplyDeleteMust have been a great trip. Sure a better place to eat than here... pasta everyday :-(
wow..glad you have a nice trip. What did u buy for me???
ReplyDeletebought some candies for u..but i think by the time u come back to ipoh, it will be expired..haha..
ReplyDeleteyou shld get a Hard Rock Cafe (Ho chi Min city) t-shirt or something that's not edible... :(
ReplyDeleteHaha! So I think it's the same stall! That beige color lady still remembered me the next day when I returned to ask her fix my two pairs of shoes, cos there were some defects!
ReplyDeleteYou see, they wanted to close a deal fast, so they would pack our goods very quickly too. So you knew that we also got the shoes at USD 3! My tour mate kept telling me they were not very happy with the price that we bargained, so I was wondering how you also managed to get that price, if without much bargaining.
Obviously, the lady wasn't very happy with me when I didn't buy another pair from her the next day, cos she gave me a kind of look ha! Anyway, I should have bought more for my mother, she said they are cheap and why I didn't buy more for her! Hmmmm...
