  • This swanky shopping mall houses 10 levels of sheer shopping pleasure. When you get tired, you can even stop for a meal at the numerous resaurants within Zen Plaza. It may be a bit up-class for the locals but the clothing and food are reasonably priced. You can also have your fastfood Pho - Pho 24. Zen Plaza is also a good place to buy local food stuff here, also if you want to buy foodstuff to cook, this is also the place .

    A varied amount of items from clothing to children wear, to food and even daily needs and what's best, there's no need to bargain as prices are shown as it is.

    Stores & Markets: Vietnamese Lacquerware

  • A.M. Lacquerware is a beautiful lacquerware store right next to the Liberty 3 Hotel. Lacquerware is an art that is native to Vietnam. Here you can purchase dishware, photo albums, jewerly boxes, sandals, trays, etc made out of lacquerware. You can even order something with your own specifications if you just don't see the right purchase in the store itself. The staff is very sweet and if you do buy something they wrap it up so nicely and provide a rattan bag to carry your purchases in that is so beautiful itself, I now use it as a beach bag.

    For both of my trips to Vietnam, I purchased photo albums with lacquerware covers. They are a nice souvenier to bring back home to put your pictures of the area in. In the store they even have albums with the Vietnamese Flag on the front of them or women in ao zais.

    The prices are quite reasonable. For an 18 page photo album with very large pages you only pay about $6-8 US. This is much cheaper than any run of the mill photo album that you can purchase in the States.

    Stores & Markets: Great Buys in Saigon Square
  • Tip Rating:

  • Saigon Square is a more spacious alternative to Ben Thanh, fewer shops but shopping is cooler. Its pretty compact, so do a quick walk through, cos the shops at the entrances tend to be more pricy than those tucked in corners or in quieter lanes

    Good buys for Knock-Offs at Saigon Square- Kipling bags (big tote bag - S$13), North Star backpacks or pouches (S$8). Adidas/Puma/Nike - drifit sort of material (S$9) - watch out for zips on the shirts - some don't zip well, Kids clothing - American brands, like Children's Place, Gap, Sprockets - girl's skirts abt S$5, dresses abt S$8. Loads of girl's Tees, skirts, shorts, dresses. Limited Boys stuff

    one of the stalls in the G/F of Bin Thay Market

    Hand-embroidered triangular-shaped silk bags - $ 5 - small and $ 6 for the big one. These bags cost double in Dhong Koi st. I bought 2 bags so instead of paying $14, she gave me both for $12. Haggle for at least half of its price or buy more than 1 to get a discount. They quote you in dollars as they know you are a tourist so use their calculator to show the price you want.

    Half the price of bags found in Dong Khoi st.
