M had an afternoon meeting near Diamond Plaza, a shopping centre near Notre Dame and the General Post Office, which sells big name brands for big prices. I wandered around the plaza while M networked. Outside the centre is definitely the place to see dodgy taxis - if you're here and you need a cab, go round to the side entrance - this is where the 'real' taxis drop their passengers.
We had another great meal at the lamb BBQ restaurant on Vo Van Tan street tonight. (Chieu Nay Barbecue, 30B Vo Van Tan). This time we knew how to ask for the roasted garlic, or at least write the word for it. And the toi was fantastic. The restaurant is long and thin, and the staff march up and down a central aisle. Arms swinging, they are often carrying large pointy industrial sized skewers covered in raw meat, ready to be placed on the coal-fired barbecue at the entrance to the restaurant.
