Girls Just Wanna Have Fun....or Food!!

What do a bunch of gals do wen they meet? Gossip, shop and EAT of course! U must be wondering..in a place like Ho Chi Minh City...where would a bunch of "pampered" Sporean gals go to for food? hmmm.....

Well, I managed to snap a few pics (wen i remembered to do so) of some foodie places I visited.

1. Scenario 1 - When we were feeling "not so rich"
Here are pics of a food court in this shopping complex called Diamond Plaza. U can find Macau cuisine, New Zealand Ice Cream, Italian food and even Singaporean food! I was so happy to discover that they actualli have curry chicken with baguette bread. Yummi! Its pretty comparable to a food court in Singapore. Worth coming back!

2. Scenario 2:When we were feeling "luxurious"
We booked dinner at Le Cordon Bleu to meet up with another Sporean lady who was working at HCM City. Our expectations were sky high for the food here...Cordon Bleu leh...donch play play ah!

Alas.....it was way below expectations man. Stained chairs (yucks!), sub standard food, eeky music, unimpressive table setttings and mediocre service...well they realli shouldnt adopt the name if they cant live up to it! One of those places we will NOT go back again..be warned!
3. Scenario 3: When we feeling "unsatisfied after a meal"
We discovered this charming cafe that is located opposite a public park. It's called Creperie and Cafe. Guess wat tastes bad there?! U guessed it! Itz the CREPES. Wah man..it is so uncooked looking, cold and tastes as bad as it looks. A real dampener for those who were craving for crepes that night. Luckily their warm chocolate cake (called Chocolate Biscuit) that I ordered for fun turned out GREAT. The creme brulee was good too.


Know what's the most interesting part abt this cafe? The public park opp the cafe! hahaha..its like a weird B grade movie - motorbikes parked 1 m apart with couples kissing/making out on the bike parked along the brightly lit road.

Itz a phenomenon at all the parks...the couples are so near each other and visible to all those going pass them! weird huh...Instead of ppl watching, pple at the cafe were "couple watching"!We understand that they are in the public park doing this as they have "no other places to go to make out"...i mean come on...isnt privacy required for such stuff?!!! BTW, I din manage to snap any shots of the couples in the park (tho I realli wanted to show)...in case I kenna chase by them! hehehehee...

If you ever decide to come to this cafe, remember - Dun order crepes + Remember to come at night to witness this "phenomenon". hyuk hyuk..;)
