    Tasted Vietnamese food in HCMC at Pho 2000, I thought of trying it locally just for comparision. Have no idea where is Pho 2000 but saw this restaurant when I was driving along East Coast road.

    The frontage was'nt attractive, interior is normal. The spring roll is not as tasty as HCMC but the Sliced Beef noodle (Kway Teow) is nice. The waiter/waitress are young but friendly and service oriented. We were served with the wrong type of beef but they changed it without any question.

    Is quite a nice place for dinner but the parking lot is limited.

      I do encounter the same in HCMC. A taxi with a meter that runs super fast. However,
      even if it is double the normal meter reading, it only cost me another few dollars.
      Although this is not a pleasant experience, we should not let this driver
      damage the reputation of HCM. I believe the same thing happen in China or any other
      places too. I remembered it happen to me many years back in Paris too.

      It is true that there is nothing much to see in HCM. It is like our 1970. The best thing
      in HCMC is probably the seafood. It is cheap and good. Shopping is nothing compare
      to Singapore except for local products and immitation.

      There are only a few places for sight seeing . Although it is not very fantastic, it does
      give you an idea of how the Vietnamese people survive through many years of war.
      The only thing I hate is the tiring journey. It is few hours drive for each destination.

      One last thing, never stay in expensive Hotel if you are on holidays.

        33. Business in China   
           03 Apr 2007 at 2:09 am
        Yet another caution for the businessman. A year ago, I received a sizable order from Chong Ching without much efforts. Recently, I was asked to quote by a company from Yun Nan for a product which is easily available in China.

        Doing business in Singapore is so tough and yet receiving order from China is so easy. The customer in Singapore behave like King and the customer from China is over polite.

        Can this be real? Be careful and don't be greedy!

          While I like the environment and the facilities of Laguna, I am rather disappointed for the following:-

          1) Too many small tournament were held at Laguna on weekends. It deprives the member's privileage to play on the weekends. Besides, the slow play make the game very un-enjoyable.

          2) The flight schedule is not strictly followed. Many members turn up late at the tee-off point and disturb the entire schedule. The Starters are too friendly to everyone and that makes their jobs difficult too.

          Laguna classic coursed is close for renovation for 9 months. It is supposed to be a world class golf course when it is completed.
          This can be very proud for the member. However, meanwhile, the member has to tolerate the inconvenience for 9 months because the no. of players did not reduce despite the fact that half the course is closed. In addition to this, the weather for the past few months have been bad and golfers can hardly complete the game most of the time. In order to maximise the usage, the management impose a new rule that all flight must be of 4 person on weekend. We do agree to this rule but we think that it should be the club's responsibility to pair us up. Most golfer has no problem getting two person but not 4 especially the non-member green fee is so expensive.

          It seems that the member is being penalised for the club's upgrading work.

            The recent advertisement on Channel 5 regarding the Quit Smoking campaign is rather disgusting. Personally, I do not quite agree such a terrible scene should be shown on the national TV.

            It does not scare the smokers. Instead, it frighten the non smoker and the young children. The similar picture has been shown on the cigarette box for donkey years, what different does it make.

            While quit smoking campaign is neccessary, having to show such an ad on TV simply means our experts have run out of ideas on how to effectively stop people from smoking.
