La Petite Maison cafe: French retro style, great tea and patisseries.
5/27/2012
La petite maison is a newly-opened cafe ensconced on the 2nd floor at 69 Nguyen Chi Thanh street.
The cafe was decorated in retro French style with refreshing blue and white color, offering a cozy and at-home feeling. You also can get some open fresh air at the balcony with lots of plants and flowers. The furniture are designed and hand-built by the owner from recycled materials. On my first visit there, I was automatically drawn to a typewriter sitting on the wooden shelf next to my table. With the owner's permission I had the chance to try typing on such an oldtime machine for the very first time. Well it's no laptop, but much cooler.
The 100th entry: some thoughts and interesting facts. Bài viết thứ 100 và những chuyện bây giờ mới tiết lộ.

I've been considering what to write in this special post. The 100th entry, holy crow! And I've decided that I'll write whatever I want here, food-related or not. Especially I want to become closer to you, my dear readers! I hope we can take this chance to get to know more about each other.
This is a very meaningful event to me, because after nearly 2 years (1 year and 9 months, to be exact), Danang Cuisine blog marks its 100th post and also the 1000th follower on its Facebook fanpage, not to mention the feature on a Hong Kong's magazine and a Vietnamese magazine. Interestingly, within those 21 months, I was NOT in Da Nang for 11 months!
You know that for each review, I have to actually go to the food shops, try the food and take the photos/videos myself. Which was very difficult, and even impossible for me to do as half of the time since starting this blog I was studying overseas. But still I managed to continue to develop Danang Cuisine, with the great help from my family: my older sister, Helen Le for all of her wonderful recipes, and even my mother who wrote several guest posts in Vietnamese (guestwriter Penguin, that's my mom!!).
And of course, Danang Cuisine can't exist without YOU! 21 months ago, when I googled "Danang Cuisine" (exact phrase), there was NO result. Now, there are 10.400! The amount of comments is also increasing tremendously. As I said in this magazine interview, your comments are the greatest motivation for me to continue. From the very first days when there was only 1-2 comments a month, to today when there can be 10 a day, to me the joy and happiness of reading each and every comment still remains intact. For all of your support so far, I would like to say THANK YOU.
So... now it's your turn. I would love to know:
So... now it's your turn. I would love to know:
- What you honestly think about Danang Cuisine?
- What can be done for improvements?
- Your own stories, i.e. your love story with Da nang, with Da Nang street food, with Viet Nam... or anything you want to share with me and other readers.
Ha Noi snacks in Da Nang: nem chua rán, sữa chua nếp cẩm...

The world knows that I'm a big fan of Hanoi cuisine. What always keep me wanting to revisit the capital are, without any doubt, my Hanoi friends and the fabulous local cuisine, especially Hanoi's street food. And sometimes I get annoyed because I cannot go to Hanoi more often. Luckily, I have recently discovered this place named "cô Thường Hà Nội" here in Danang that sells those Hanoi-signature-snacks that I am so in love with. And with this I can quite comfortably wait for my next trip to Hanoi with less grumpiness.
