#FotoVorschlag
“Upcycling”

On our trip to Vietnam, we walked around Hanoi’s Old Quarter and came across a hidden gem of a cafe — called, uh, Hidden Gem Cafe — which uses recycled items for its decor and furniture, including rubber tires, spoked wheels, and motorcycle parts. And it’s where I encountered possibly the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had.

Your verbal snapshot brings to mind Anthony Bourdain's writing, especially (of course) his telling of the best Vietnamese coffee _he_ever had. You probably know it. (Also perfect pic, as per usual.)

@mamzikorven Wow!😳 I’ve never read Bourdain, but I’ve seen some clips from his shows and he seemed like an amazing, humane observer of food and culture. I’ll have to revisit his Vietnam episode. Thanks so much.🙏🏽

I really think he comes across somewhat more ... sincere? un-TV-like? His trying to find the perfect meal appeals to me because it's never about appearance, but always about what's just right then and there. That's such a vital life lesson.

I love how they knew they're a hidden gem as well ;) Great shot!

Did you have an egg coffee? That's a really special taste!

[bluejay@ohai.social]

@Grapf Yes, I did!😊
