Great shopping in HCMC

We walked around town today. One reason why shopping is great in HCMC is that you'll never know what bargains are in store for you. Bought Joyce a Mickey Mouse Raincoat - an original from Tokyo Disney Resort, and paid only 150,000VND (about S$10.50) when the going price was Y3,900 (about S$62). Good bargain @ Russian Mart!




















Can be stuffed into a compact bag thru the back pocket.
































Craved for the Floss Bun (@17,000VND) from BreadTalk - so took a walk after Mass to Vincom Center. Found that MK Restaurant had opened a branch there - it was packed. (MK is a Thai hotpot chain - hooked on it in Bangkok). Had a great dinner there after so many days of canteen food!! Damage : 305,000VND (S$21) for 2 pax. A reasonable price to pay.

Let's see. These are the following restaurants at Vincom that I can remember : Bud's Ice Cream, Fanny's Ice Cream, Popeye, a milk tea cafe, Long Hai Restaurant, Pinochio Restaurant, a food court, Pho 24, a Japanese Restaurant, a donut cafe, Highlands Coffee, NYDC, BreadTalk, MK, Carl Jr ... and the Select Mart holds a wide range of imported products for the expat.

A Mushroom and Swiss Burger costs 69,000VND (S$4.80)
