After getting bummed out about the breakfast situation, we decided to walk around around to find dinner. This guy in a vehicle that looks like a golf cart with 3 rows offered to drive us around.

I’ve been living on the streets so much that I decided yesterday to book a fancy stay at the Voco Ma Belle hotel to refine my taste. One reason I decided this was the impressive complementary breakfast. But bad news. Upon arrival and checking in, I was told that it was not complementary and it co...

Yesterday I was chilling in the front of my stay when this woman vendor on her bicycle was passing by. Often you will see mobile vendors passing by on motorbikes, bicycles, push cart selling goodies. It’s like the ice cream man passing through the American neighborhood(or used to be)
She woman...

Got some chicken congee/porridge for breakfast. What would make this better would eating it outside in mid 50s weather. Eating it during the summer makes you feel like you just got out of a sauna when finished. But it’s so good that you can’t stop eating.

Was craving some sweets last night. Stopped by this place for Malaysian coconut ice cream. This is what I like about Vietnam. It’s the randomness you can run across. By day this corner sidewalk would be vacant with no activity. But by night it’s an outdoor ice cream shop.

Yesterday morning I had a quick pork floss mini banh mi(#8). Bread was a bit chewy, fillings were lacking. C-tier but very cheap at 40 cents each.

Went to a new market today during lunchtime. Cho Con(Con Market) is probably the most popular market in Da Nang, filled daily by locals and tourists.

Slow day yesterday. Just got some banh mi que(breadstick banh mi). This vendor sells in only the afternoon when it cools down and everyone heading to the beach. It’s usually super packed. These were like a quarter a piece. Just with pate, chili paste and egg mayo. Seems too simple to be good….A...
