Paradise Hotpot Restaurant & Pho 2000

Bought 4 discount coupons for a buffet hotpot lunch at Paradise Hotpot Restaurant - from a Groupon-like VN website. Usual price : 199,000vnd; coupon price : 99,000vnd. It's popular with the locals but doesn't suit our Singaporean taste buds. Not worth the 99k/pax for me but the Vietnamese seem to love it. It's also quite a small restaurant and you have to squeeze to get to your spot at your table.

Address : 41, Ky Dong Street, District 3

The Pho 2000 restaurant at Ben Thanh Market is very popular with tourists. However, the prices are becoming quite ridiculous; it's gone up almost 100% since 2-3 years ago. I remembered when the beef ragout was about 38-40,000vnd a few years back - it's now 70,000vnd. Rice with a chicken thigh was about 30k then, it's 55k now. I don't know about other countries but prices do not go up like that back home in Singapore. I'll be giving it a miss from now on unless absolutely necessary. I think it's a rip-off.
