Au Pagolac,
19 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, D3.
Here their specilities is beef ... beef in vinegar, grilled beef, beef soup etc. Disclaimer: they use local beef, so dunt go with high expectation. The dish is no award winning for sure ... but with the price, guess one cannot demand too much.

Quan 94,
84 Dinh Tien Hoang, P.Dakao, Q1.
Every based on crab ... tamarind crab, steam crab, tang hoon crab etc etc.
Again, can't compared to your S'pore / M'sian cooking. But if you based here and somehow got craving for crab, guess tis is the nearest you can get.

PHO CO (Ancient Town Restaurant)
Vietnamese Food

Located at 211 Ter, Dien Bien Phu street in district 3 of Ho Chi Minh City, the "Ancient Town" Restaurant is only 10 - minutes drive from downtown and airport.Open hour (Mon - Sun): from 11am - 2pm; 5pm - 10pm.

PR-girl restaurant called Quan 01 at 01 Tran Phu street, just inside Distr 5 by the big traffic circle where Nguyen Van Cu street meets the start of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai. Lots of waitresses in short skirts with low cut tops there to take care of you while you eat very so-so food and drink beers. There are actually 3 very big levels in this restaurant, with the middle one probably offering the most interesting views. There's another big place like this one on Nguyen Bieu just near the bridge going to Dist 8 (under construction) and at least a few more around Dist 5, don't remember where exactly.

4 Trong 1 (4 in 1) Niteclub - Hau Giang street, on the left just before reaching the bridge. It's a little ways past the big Cho Lon market in District 5. I don't have the street number but if you drive out that way, it's impossible to miss. On the left as you head west, before the last bridge before the bridge -- and all lit up in bright neon.

Paradise is on Ho Van Hue street in Phu Nhuan district (latest closed liao....)

Art Club or Art Cafe -- its at intersection of 3/2 street and Le Hong Phong. Nightclub upstairs with hostess girls, sometimes a stage show. 4 Trong 1 is by far the best of all these, and Paradise also can be quite good
