Hey folks

Long time no touristy! As a Saigonese, it is extremely difficult to be a tourist myself (though I did many suggestion for bunch of places like Paris & New York)

The series is back as I’m proud to have traveled to many Asia countries & my home country Vietnam.

My tour is always coffee, cozy corner, & good snacks.

(If you love landscape, I am sorry)

So let’s start the first tour in my favorit neighborhood in Saigon: Thao Dien

It is Singapore’s Tiong Bahru or New York’s East Village

What’s better: bunch of awesome pickleball courts

The best life: Espresso & Racket sports

☕️ Coffee:

Delab Coffee – Thao Dien

Vinyl and coffee can’t go wrong. Many cozy corner. Other vinyl coffee in the beighborhood is either too small (Bluish) or too loud (

Garden Kisses – Thao Dien

Matcha is wonderful and homade cinnamon buns

Every Half – Multi location in Thao Dien

“Every half bean has its soulmate” 🥰

Coffee chain founded by friend with consistent quality time to time. I usually have Bac Xiu and Coffee Ginger Ale.

The combo is digestion healthy & superb refreshing. (Yellow lemon & Ginger fermented + Coconut flower condensed extraction)

👟Courts:

AP Sports – premium & by the river. No social & private booking only

Bang Bang – for the fun playing social, host is tentative & courts are airy

And if you love privacy, visit my family’s court – Thè M Private Club

I usually have Golden berry juice

It’s a luxurious fruits usually for exports. Everyhalf & my cafe has this in coldbrew & fresh juice.

Matcha Lavender Sage is another recommendation. No syrup. We brew raw lavender & sage from scratch for elegant taste.

Happy traveling & welcome to our home
