Cafe guests see double -- 11 times

HANOI (AP): Patrons at a new restaurant can be forgiven for doing double-takes: 11 sets of twins wait on the tables.

The appropriately named Twin Restaurant, which opened a month ago in Ho Chi Minh City, is the brainchild of well-known Vietnamese love-song composer Thanh Tung.

He got the idea while being served by a twin at a restaurant in the resort city of Nha Trang. He then scoured the country, recruiting 11 sets of twins, and hopes to add another four pairs.

All are 19 to 23 years old, with five sets of male twins, five sets of females and one mixed pair. Each pair wears identical clothing every day. Tung said some will start performing live music.

The restaurant, which also employs 20 non-twins, serves Vietnamese, Chinese and seafood dishes.
