Hi,
Can I confirm something - on their menu for buffet it says "house wine, beer, cocktail, soft drink, juice, tea, coffee included"

What is the "Beverage Alcohol Package: 500,000++ per person" about if drinks are included? is it just me confused or do they mean the house stuff is crap so spend anther 500++ for better plonk?

I confirmed prices,,,,
The tickets including taxes are:- and do include drinks -

The 500vnd++ alcohol price is for drinks only no meal

"We kindly inform to you about the price for this festive:

Sorry, I was just confirming that drinks are included, the 500vnd++ for drinks separate confused me.

My reading; for free flow drinks 500,000

As prices and more options come in nearer the time, maybe a quick hands up for who is in for which date and location?

Yo this thread still alive?
Mr & Mrs Gobot are IN for Xmas Dinner / Xmas BBQ. At any Saigon location. That would be great. A toast to wonderful 2020. 

Around I can probably drag @yoda too if he is.

“Adventure.  Excitement.  A Jedi crave not these things.”  Kidding ... would look forward to.

Big thanks for putting all that info together.

IF I were going to go to HCMC, I'd probably go to the buffet at the Caravelle.

However, staying in Vũng Tàu will likely be my plan.

I thought Thanksgiving dinner at Belly's was very good, so I'm pretty sure I'll be going there.

Belly announced that Christmas meal will be at 500k, buffet style, and drink is still not included.

It would want to be good at 500k.

At least 5 different meats buffet style.

I saw the flyer last night.

I'm trying to convince them it's time to post it online

I think I will stick to my 5 plates of seafood and 4 cans of beer for 400k.

Lots of small local seafood places. Been going to the same one for two years.

This one is quite popular......Ốc Thiên Nhiên

We've decided to have a Vung Tau Christmas. Belly's it is. Never been there.
Do you know if reservations are required or taken?

It's advised to buy a dinner ticket in advance, as they will not guarantee meal availability without it.

My friends made reservations for a group of us at Thanksgiving and that worked out great.

You could simply buy tickets but you might not get desirable seating.

Hope to see you there!

Link to menu, looks like a good spread- good idea to at least call/book

I'll be Billabong Christmas day

Several people were turned away on Thanksgiving Day because the meals were prepared only for the number of tickets sold.  Thus, buying tickets for Belly's Christmas Day is a must.  Reservation for a specific time is also recommended.

Husband and I will celebrate Christmas at home, but if you and your wife have time after Belly's, it would be fun to meet for a drink.  OB probably could join us if he has advance notice (the man's calendar is packed most days).
