~ last '09/first '10 getaway - Saigon (Part 2a)


New Year's eve dinner was at Barbecue Garden (www.barbecuegarden.com) together with S's friends - B, Bieu & Man (locals). I've read numerous reviews about this place prior to my trip

* Strongly recommended *

* Open-aired concept, love the environment! *

* Queue was really long but luckily for us, we made reservations earlier ^.^ *

We ordered few combo's to share, Combo 4 (skewers of beef, squid and fillet), Combo 6 (pieces of meat, fillet etc.), and Combo 3 (minced meat etc), chicken drumsticks for each, and beer for all. Cheers! Bieu and Man (pronounced as 'mang') thought us how to say cheers, Vietnamese style. It goes like this, " Mok (one), Hai (two), Bak (three), YO (cheers) !! Pretty funny, eh?







* The sauces *


* Frenchies *

* Fruit fondue -dessert *

* Group pic *

After dinner, we checked out the New Year celebrations in town.




There was a concert going on to welcome 2010 and DJ was surprisingly good, playing a mixture of house music. Cool!!


We went to Gossip, one of the popular clubs in Saigon but it was packed. So, we kept things simple and ended up having a drink at Doner's place, while watching the heavy flow of traffic and people in this crAAzyy city. Was pretty tired from the day tour so totally not prepared to become a sardine at this point in time.


So, that's how I spent new year's eve, along the sidewalks of Saigon city. *lol* Happy New Year peeps!! May you all have a good year ahead of you.. Zzzz..

P/s: - Nha Trang next..sun, surf and beach..
