I have eaten out in Hanoi many times but they never charged me for extra things like that. Still, the way they obtain customers is basically the same. They both get the staff to walk, talk, "pull and push" pedestrians.

you shouldn't go to any luxury restaurant,just a so-so-looking restaurant is enough for a meal,and the price isn't that expensive

and never ever use any hankerchief

Actually I went to a small kiosk besides a market. They didn't publish the prices in menu.

Oh that's ok, but I still want to visit Ho Chi Minh city

Perhaps I should eat something in District 5 instead of District 1.

Some small restaurant don't have a place for leaving bike, so you have to find somewhere nearby to leave. I once taste boiled snails in 1A Dinh Liet (near the intersection), i have to do the same, they don't take care your bike. 40k for the snails plus 10k for bike, then 50k total, but i think this is the best spot to taste snails in HN.

I prefer boiled snails in Tay Ho area in which they have the bigger ones. Also they have plenty of parking space for bike. But I extremely hate Tay Ho's fried shrimp cakes and ice cream. On the other hand I visit Dinh Liet St. sometimes but that's for books.

I'll be there in February. Among many cities I have been, Ho Chi Minh city is the biggest. It can confuse many visitors like me.
