Vietnam may be more famous for its coffee and tea, but a little a shop in downtown Ho Chi Minh is making a name for itself by making chocolates in-house. Boniva Chocolatier, a little store tucked near the city hall is the sole supplier of chocolates in hotels all over Ho Chi Minh City. The store clerks are extremely friendly, who allow you to sample their variations of pralines and ganaches, and even indulge you to take your picture with them.

Dining in Singapore is considered as one of the national obsessions given the different cuisines, restaurants, food courts and stalls abound in the tiny city state. A shining example of the vibrance of the culinary scene in Singapore are the hawker centers. Here you’ll see that businessmen in suits feel at home as in fine dining restaurants along Orchard road.

Hawker Centers can be found near government housing units, or HDBs. The difference between food courts and hawker centers are their location, amenities, prices and array of food choices. Food courts are mostly located in malls and tourist areas while hawker centers are located near residential areas. Food courts are also mostly air-conditioned while hawker centers are mostly fan-cooled. If you are craving for more local choices, hawker centers would be the better option since food courts mostly have international dishes. Another difference is the price, in food courts expect to pay 25% as much as you would fork out in hawker centers.

Although Singapore is increasingly becoming a haven for upscale dining, with local chefs garnering raves from Zagat and Michelin, there’s still quite a number of venues for cheap dining. With this article, we have compiled a list of cheap eating venues in the small island state.
