When you’re trying their works in their own home: Dumplings @ Quan Thang Ancient House (26. December 2023)
When doing our walking tour with our tour guide, we were led to the oldest house in Hoi An, called ‘Quan Thang Ancient House’. It’s fascinating to see how they are opening up their family home to foreigners coming in. Since they do not really earn a lot with that, they have decided to do […]
Disappointing selection of local dishes: Restaurant La Plage @ Sheraton Grand Danang Resort & Convention Center (26. December 2023)
Of course, if you’re eating in the Sheraton, you’d expect to have international food, but the lack of local options was a bit surprising to me. I went for a few of the different dishes like the “seafood papaya salad (shrimp, squid, carrot, onion, coriander, roasted peanuts, fish sauce)” (288’000 VND), which was a massive […]
An exquisite breakfast selection with something for each and every palate: Restaurant Table 88 @ Sheraton Grand Danang Resort & Convention Center (26. December 2023)
The breakfast selection at Table 88 in the Sheraton Grand Danang Resort & Convention Center is definitely a pleasant one. You pretty much find everything ranging from Indian-inspired food … … including its typical Naan bread … … to the more regular poridge like elements … … steamed rice, fried rice, and fried noodles … […]
A local Michelin star experience doesn’t pair with international standards: Restaurant Nhà hàng Tầm Vị (25. December 2023)
The starting point at the Nhà hàng Tầm Vị wasn’t a great one. I’m not sure if my hotel messed up by not properly changing the reservation, or if the restaurant messed up by not taking note. In any case, since my initial reservation was for noon, and I then had it changed to 12:30pm, […]
An ‘egg coffee’ is a delicious drink you need to try when in Vietnam: Cửa Hàng Cà Phê Café (25. December 2023)
The ‘egg coffee’ was something, which had been recommended to be tried by a couple of people, hence, I figured, I’ll give it a try. And frankly, to me, it felt more like a dessert, but as a matter of fact, the “Egg Coffee” (40’000 VND) is considered a coffee. And from the taste, you […]
An amazing place on its track to its first Michelin star: Restaurant Chapter Dining & Grill (24. December 2023)
The Chapter Dining & Grill is a place you definitely have to try when you’re in Hanoi. The place hasn’t been awarded a Michelin star yet, but IMHO, they will definitely get one within the next few years (if not already next year). To experience the full thing, I recommend you to go for the […]
A decent rooftop bar, but with super slow service: Solar Sky Bar @ GM Premium Hotel (24. December 2023)
I found the idea of a rooftop bar quite nice, so we found the Solar Sky Bar in walking distance to where we had dinner planned. The idea was to grab a quick drink within a few minutes to ‘kill the time till dinner’. Well, it turns out that this idea didn’t quite work out, […]
Ha Long Bay is a must see, the food options are rather average, though: Food Offering @ Aqua Of The Seas Cruise (23. December 2023)
Given Ha Long Bay was definitely on my to-do list, and we were a bit late organising, there weren’t that many options, but I’m happy we found a quite decent one. The Aqua of the Seas Cruise was actually quite nice. Sure, all of it is a bit stressful, there is too much animation instead […]
