This time, we tried the neighbour (Nhan Quang) and had a pleasant surprise. The frame cost 500,000vnd and the lens 800,000vnd - total 1.3 mil vnd (about S$78). It turned out to be as good as the old glasses made in Singapore. So one can fly to HCMC (from Singapore), make a pair of progressives, have a 4D3N holiday that includes airfare, accommodation, food and shopping and probably still have some spare change leftover to save in POSB!!!

Look for Ms Loan - she speaks good English and is such a pleasant and cheerful lady. She also knows her work well (from our conversation with her) and is able to give very professional advice. And talking about service, we got our 2 pairs of glasses done overnight (Mum made a pair of progressives too).

Hey Bro, the comment translated from Spanish is ' I would encounter vietman... and talk to your people.... many greetings and good luck ' . Hope it's correct - I used Bing translator :)
Thanks very much for the translation - I was wondering what he said.
Time for me to visit Vietnam soon again for new glasses! =)

Cảm Ơn = Gracias = Thank you :)
Hi Bennett, many thanks for your Blog. I will be going over to HCMC this coming Wed (29 Feb). I think I will get a new pair of glasses from this Optic shop when i am there. I will be staying at Sanouva Hotel, just 200m from this shop.
By the way, do you happen to know any good tailor in HCMC?
Thanks.
Hi Woei Lee, just look for Ms Loan (boss) or Ms Ngoc (asst) when you're at the specs shop. Can't help you much with tailors - I don't make my clothes with them. But I'm told there are some good and reasonably priced tailors at Pham Ngu Lao (Backpackers' Area)- you need to shop around and compare prices though. Hope you have a great stay here.
Hi Bennett, thanks for your advise. Got my glasses made by Ms Loan. Great lady. Good quality stuff for the price paid.
Thanks again for the recommendation.
Just made w pair of specs with them, hope it turns out well!
