Tired of bargain hunting? Or rather afraid of being cheated on ‘the best price’ when the next stall sells it for cheaper! Fear not… Saigon / HCMC also has a plethora of ‘fixed prices’ stores to shop in.. especially the stress from street bargaining gets to you..
In Saigon / HCMC… and most parts of Vietnam shops are grouped based on what they sell… so on one street you’ll find shops selling the same things.. like if it’s a shop selling kitchen ware.. it would be a whole row of shops selling pots and pans.. and etc.. Much like here I suppose.. mamak stall all open at each corner on the same street… I suppose this way you get to cannibalize on the other business , especially if yours sells better / more stuffs…
In this series, I’ll introduce the streets based on the items that they sell.. they shops are usually not far off each other.. so if you can’t find what you want in one… good to try the one next to it.. selling similar items…
