On our first night in Hanoi, my sister and I found ourselves strolling in Ba Dinh District after we checked out the nearby Truc Bach Lake. We were taking pictures outside Sofitel Plaza Hotel when my sister joked about having dinner in the said hotel since we haven't eaten a decent meal since we arrived earlier that day.
I don't mind spending a little more than usual for a good meal in a luxury hotel so we decided to enter the hotel and inquire about their restaurants. I love how the lobby of Sofitel Plaza Hotel exudes a certain air of grandness.
We discovered that one of their restaurants, the Brasserie Westlake, was offering an Asian and International buffet dinner that night.
While we were checking out the long buffet table in the restaurant, our hungry tummies started growling. It was then that we decided to ATTACK!!! Haha!
Our total bill was more than VND 2,000,000 or about Php 4,000. A funny moment took place when we were about to pay our bill. We didn't have enough Vietnamese dong because we failed to have our Philippine pesos and Singapore dollars changed in the airport! They won't accept my local Philippine credit card as well. My sister had to rush to the lobby of the hotel to have our moneys changed into Vietnamese dong despite the high currency exchange rate.
