I went to Ho Chi Minh just last November. Just a note for caution to people who intend to go to Ho Chi Minh, be careful when boarding taxis there. Some meters there run so fast that it could cost you double the price to get to a particular place.
Not much night life there. Only pubs are open after 9pm . For people who are into nightlife such as shopping or eating, this probably isn;t the place to go.
This cinema has sofas! Relaxing sofas that can sit 2 or 3 people? Ok 2's the ideal figure. The sofas bring movie-watching to a higher level. I think you have to pay a special price for it, but you could just sneak up there when there's no one. Either ways, it's worth a try!
But if you're a person really particular about service, this place probably isn't one that I'll recommend. Could be a one-time biased judgement but I was turned off by their services when I went there. I purchased two tickets and only realized I was given one when I was about to enter the cinema. Lucky for me, the guy at the counter recognized us and recalled that we paid for two tickets and so we managed to get in without much trouble. But I was shocked when I overheard part of the conversation between two of the people working there that this was not the first time someone was short of tickets. I'm sure it would have been quite a turn off if anyone were to be rushing to go for their movie and were to be held up by such an incident.
BreadTalk offers nice breads and cakes, that I totally agree. It's fresh also, considering how there's almost constant flow of human traffic in and out of the shop and the bread has to be refilled every now and then. I won't say that the breads there are cheap. But it is definitely of better standards than those in the neighbourhoods, and maybe that would explain for the difference in price.
New and huge shopping mall. And when I say "huge", I mean huge. (Well but then again, it's relative. If you've been to malls overseas, it's normal.)
The shops there range from the average shops you'd find at neighbourhood malls to the high-end shops such as Zara, as well as many new foreign brands like Gap and River Island. I would say it's a good place for shopping for teens and adults as if you have the time to cover each shop, you'll be able to find clothes of various styles and designs that would suit many.
Also, there are many food outlets there, ranging from fast-food outlets to high-end restaurants, which includes Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisine. Ideal for spending the whole day there, shopping and eating! So who needs Hong Kong when you can eat and shop in Vivo City, Singapore?
In addition, the place is very easily accessible, despite it being at Harbour Front. Not a bad place to go. (:
Compared to Taka's Kino, this place is pretty small. The things you can find there are limited to only reading materials, unlike those at Kino. It's good enough for someone who's out looking for just books to read during your leisure time. But if you're looking for more reference materials on interior designing and such, Kinokuniya at Takashimaya is better.
