Cat Toc Goi Dau Thu Gian
===================
read some reports from some other forum and went to explore Dinh Bo Linh street cluster of hair dresser...

After surveying the street of about 20 to 30 such shops, did a 2nd pass and went into 1. I walked in and 1 girl made eye contact with me and sort of signalled "follow me" which I did and pretend that I am a regular at that kind of place... lead to upstairs, room with 4 massage table/bed separated by curtain. I took of my shirt and lie on 1 of the bed. She went to take a couple of wet towels, came in and sort of gimme a wipe, and then lie down beside me with her head inclined with 1 arm and started to chit chat with me which i really enjoyed a lot more than playing piano.. anyway we eventually got to that as well and followed by a HJ. While exploring her body, noticed that although she is sort of on the skinny side, her boobs is big, round and firm!!! Could not confirm if silicon or not but i think its a pair of fantastic fun bags.

It was about 2245h when its done so I asked her if she want to go supper with me. She sort of say NO but of course she means YES but I have to do some persuasion lah.. which I did and she asked if can bring 1 friend along. I said CANNOT, but can bring 2! She said only 1.. so i said ok, next time bring 2 ok!?

We went to a seafood restaurant near her house (I suggested it must be near her house because I want her to feel safe), and we ate a lot, lemme tell you the menu:

1. 300 grams of bbq prawns
2. fingers clams fried with chilli
3. la la clams steamed with lemon grass
4. some oily clams
5. 10 flower crabs claws bbq
6. 1 big bowl of oyster porridge.
7. A few cans of Heineken

Before we started to eat, she called home to tell her "sister" to lock the door, dun wait for her to come back... may be back very late or not at all.... ;-) she did this right in front of me, so could be a hint... but of course I act blur lah...

During the eating, we were all feeding each other and flirting as well... and the finale was the Oyster Porridge... she help me scoop some porridge into my bowl and gave me a big oyster as well. Which I quickly finished and she scoop for me a 2nd helping and another oyster. This time I told her I cannot eat the 2nd oyster, because its no good to eat too many oyster and sleep alone, so i put that oyster into her bowl. Then she sort of looked at me in a odd way and then says "errr... i also sleeping alone lei..." (their way of telling you they dun have any bf)...

The whole supper process was quite interesting... she brought along another friend which is working in the same shop as her, but not as pretty as her... so she thought she is being smart... i was talking, flirting and having so much fun with her ugly friend that she suddenly realised its actually not a very good idea and started to show a bit of jealousy... that was when i turn my attention to her and she lap everything bit of it. During supper, they said they never went to Singapore and wanted to visit Singapore if could show them around...

After supper, i paid up, and tell them "ok ladies, go straight home and have a good rest.. good night and thanks for accompanying me for supper!".. and she said.. "are we meeting for supper again tomorrow?" and I said.. "well, why not... let me introduce both of you my HCMC wife tomorrow night then..!"

Anyway... next day.. told my bx about the interesting encounter.. sort of sending her signal that got may pretty girls going after me in HCMC so she better work harder... and we all had supper as planned... very interesting..

Oh, FR for the supper place:

Location : near airport
looks : 3/10 (no aircon type with low chairs and tables, the type i liked)
BBQJ : 7/10 (barbecue was great, all the stuff were still alive before bbq)
FJ : 8/10 (the finger clams were the best i had in HCMC)
GFE : 9/10 (3 of us feeding eat other throughout the meal)
Damage : VND 320k
RTE : Of course!

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

Yes its around there.
Quite envious, modern and cause of the bright colours, orange and green.
I think just before the junction where u turn in and go straight to dist 4.

Anyway along the road, i saw chewy junior.
WTF. They already expand to there.
In no time i think will have dunkin donuts and S-11 .

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

Anyway, talking about seafood.
Whats the black little shells thats mixed with milk and have to use safety pins to dig out the meat called? In viet and eng.

Thanks in advance.

I personally like eating the shell food in viet. Very nice.

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

I already zapped 5 of him...how much left?

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

Nice FR. By the way, just so you know... standard is BJ at these salons along DBL. VND70.000 to the house, VND80.000 tip to the girl, for a total of VND150.000. That's it, that's all. Looks like you got a lazy b*tch.

Also, DBL from Cau Binh Trieu to Bach Dang Street dun have 20-30 'such shops' lah. You went to the one on the left hand side as you're coming down DBL, just after the small bridge, right? LHS about 4-5, RHS about 3-4 'such shops' only. The rest that you see closer to Bach Dang intersection are actually 'clean' salons. There are also some on Nguyen Xi and on the other side streets that connect with DBL. Those are slightly more fun. :D

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

ốc dừa, or coconut seashells. yummy but too much trouble. the VN girls love it, because an nhieu cung kg map.

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

I admire you, travel from Q BT all the way to Q TB....pei fu pei fu...

Actually there are quite a few on DBL, majority on the left side. in total about 15 shops maybe???? can't relly recall....its been a long time since I last went exploring....

Have you tried further up along Duong D2 and Duong D5????;):p:D btw..don't blame me if you walk into Jurassic park ah....

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

Those are actually small snails cooked with coconut milk.
I tried it twice at the famous bbq place Nam Bo at CMT8.
Actually you can just sucked the meat out from the shell. Very tasty.
One of my fav food besides the goat breast meat.
Imagine yrself kissing a viet girl.
Dont need safety pins at all.

Not sure what its called in viet as the bbq place also has the menu in english.

Re: Vietnam - HCM

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

Thanks for the info.
Vn girls like it so that they can trained to suck mah...

Anyway im quite used to the pin already but still slower than the girls,
they can pick out the meat like factory workers non stop and fast.

Re: Vietnam - HCM
 

'LHS about 4-5, RHS about 3-4 'such shops'
