YES.. seen the place. always hear my girlfriend say it is nice but never bring me eat there.

Mostly home cook food... nothing beats her stew pork. I can always eat 3 bowl of rice with it. Nowhere in HCM you can find except her house.

Sometimes go Chợ Rạch Ông at D8 to have com tam for breakfast and then do marketing...

There's also a very yummy banh mi thit at Chợ Rạch Ông. The shoplet
is facing Nguyễn Thị Thanh at Chợ Rạch Ông. The bread is very crunchy
and the meat filling heavenly. Normal 10,000VND, jumbo-size 15,000 VND.

Yoghurt.
I find it very nice and enjoyable amphience at this place and taste good.
You just take whatever amount of yoghurt from the machine, and add whatever toppings and sauce you want (buffet style liked).
It is count by weight. Its cheap and u can have large amount too.
Good for couple to 'pak tor'.
The shop name is call yoghurt space. Its big and u cant miss it.

Cat Toc Goi Dau Thu Gian
===================
read some reports from some other forum and went to explore Dinh Bo Linh street cluster of hair dresser...

After surveying the street of about 20 to 30 such shops, did a 2nd pass and went into 1. I walked in and 1 girl made eye contact with me and sort of signalled "follow me" which I did and pretend that I am a regular at that kind of place... lead to upstairs, room with 4 massage table/bed separated by curtain. I took of my shirt and lie on 1 of the bed. She went to take a couple of wet towels, came in and sort of gimme a wipe, and then lie down beside me with her head inclined with 1 arm and started to chit chat with me which i really enjoyed a lot more than playing piano.. anyway we eventually got to that as well and followed by a HJ. While exploring her body, noticed that although she is sort of on the skinny side, her boobs is big, round and firm!!! Could not confirm if silicon or not but i think its a pair of fantastic fun bags.

It was about 2245h when its done so I asked her if she want to go supper with me. She sort of say NO but of course she means YES but I have to do some persuasion lah.. which I did and she asked if can bring 1 friend along. I said CANNOT, but can bring 2! She said only 1.. so i said ok, next time bring 2 ok!?

We went to a seafood restaurant near her house (I suggested it must be near her house because I want her to feel safe), and we ate a lot, lemme tell you the menu:

1. 300 grams of bbq prawns
2. fingers clams fried with chilli
3. la la clams steamed with lemon grass
4. some oily clams
5. 10 flower crabs claws bbq
6. 1 big bowl of oyster porridge.
7. A few cans of Heineken

Before we started to eat, she called home to tell her "sister" to lock the door, dun wait for her to come back... may be back very late or not at all.... ;-) she did this right in front of me, so could be a hint... but of course I act blur lah...

During the eating, we were all feeding each other and flirting as well... and the finale was the Oyster Porridge... she help me scoop some porridge into my bowl and gave me a big oyster as well. Which I quickly finished and she scoop for me a 2nd helping and another oyster. This time I told her I cannot eat the 2nd oyster, because its no good to eat too many oyster and sleep alone, so i put that oyster into her bowl. Then she sort of looked at me in a odd way and then says "errr... i also sleeping alone lei..." (their way of telling you they dun have any bf)...

The whole supper process was quite interesting... she brought along another friend which is working in the same shop as her, but not as pretty as her... so she thought she is being smart... i was talking, flirting and having so much fun with her ugly friend that she suddenly realised its actually not a very good idea and started to show a bit of jealousy... that was when i turn my attention to her and she lap everything bit of it. During supper, they said they never went to Singapore and wanted to visit Singapore if could show them around...

After supper, i paid up, and tell them "ok ladies, go straight home and have a good rest.. good night and thanks for accompanying me for supper!".. and she said.. "are we meeting for supper again tomorrow?" and I said.. "well, why not... let me introduce both of you my HCMC wife tomorrow night then..!"

Anyway... next day.. told my bx about the interesting encounter.. sort of sending her signal that got may pretty girls going after me in HCMC so she better work harder... and we all had supper as planned... very interesting..

Oh, FR for the supper place:
