A corner of the old blocks, a hot butter wok

A snail quán in the old apartment blocks of District 3 — hot butter wok from afternoon till 2AM.

Slice The quán

A corner of the apartment alley

Oc Loan sits inside the Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment block — no grand signboard, just the smell of butter you catch from afar.

The wok that never rests

From 2PM to 2AM the butter wok stays hot. Snails, scallops, clams — everything through it comes out fragrant.

Slice Night

The after-9PM meeting spot

The quán fills up when the city lights come on. Plastic stools, hot snails, friends — a Saigon night, simply.

Deep in the old apartment blocks, one hot butter wok is enough for a Saigon night.— vnunbox
