On which day do the Chinese in Chợ Lớn worship ông Táo?

The Chinese in Ho Chi Minh City usually send ông Táo back to heaven on the morning of the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, while the Vietnamese usually hold the offering on the evening of the 23rd. The offerings to ông Táo among the Chinese often include thèo lèo candy and mandarins, because "quýt" (mandarin) is homophonous with "cát" (as in cát tường, good fortune).
