Kem ni-tơ vị sầu riêng - Durian flavour nitrogen ice cream
Can you imagine that it’s possible to make ice cream within 3 minutes?
I couldn’t, until I witnessed the process at Lifestyle Resort (soon to be changed to Pullman Resort), Da Nang.

Điểm danh các loại xôi ở ĐN - Danang's sticky rice collection

  9/05/2012
One benefit of starting work early in the morning is to try dishes that I’d rarely woken up early enough to try. The breakfast menu in Da Nang is much more diverse than I expected, especially the awesome hidden collection of sticky rice.

The first must-try is this long-established and very popular pavement stall. I’d heard about it for ages, but the problem was that it is just open 6~8:30ish AM. Many times I rushed there hoping to grab what’s left and found myself disappointed. Thanks to work, I can now enjoy it every morning. Here you can find 4 different types of sticky rice: 1. roasted chicken, 2. braised pork and quail egg, 3. peanuts and sugar, and 4. cotton pork. The first 2 are my favourite. Couple your order with a glass of soya milk, you’ll have the best breakfast at just 20k, enough to keep you energetic for the whole morning at work.

Madame Lân restaurant: great décor, good Viet food

  9/03/2012

Madame Lan is a newly open restaurant located at the beginning of Bach Dang street. Its brilliant architecture is reminiscent of traditional Vietnamese buildings with red roofs, yellow walls, wooden tables and chairs. Personally I think it is inspired by the Hoi An ancient town and the old quarters of Ha Noi. Even in its busiest days, you will have no problem finding a nice space for yourself, indoor or outdoor.  

The menu features a large selection of traditional Vietnamese dishes, all are carefully cooked and served. I am often attracted to "bánh hỏi thịt nướng" - one of my favourite Southern dishes:

Flat rice vermicelli (bánh hỏi) with grilled pork, greens and a light dipping sauce. Yum!
