Hue - Hoi An - Danang (02)

16-8-2022

First stop, cycling to CITE BAKERY & TEA

The food n hot chocolate is awful.

40Kvnd for both

The weather is so hot, 35degree and my Samsung Ultra stop working.

It prompts that camera unable to work and need to wait for it to cool down......

AU DINH RESIDENCE

RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

Surprisingly found Lotteria here.

One of my favourite JP fastfood.

84Kvnd including the drink.

Way to Imperial City

Cycling will need to park 700m away in the parking lot. The distance walking over to the entrance is no joke under the super hot sun.

IMPERIAL CITY

200Kvnd entrance fee

Not worth going, there are some buildings still under construction, and mostly are empty big green pieces of land.

Bun Bo Hue
This is the name of this dish, signature in Hue, and also the name of the shop located on the main road. Very nice soup base, lemongrass taste, mild tom yum flavor.

60Kvnd

Evening, took a grab to IMPERIAL CRAFT BIA

Craft-made beer house, mostly westerner.

Got a promotional beer reccommeded by the server, 50Kvnd

The pub has a sausage-tasting campaign, serving different sausages free by giving feedback.

Just a few metres away, saw this eating house fully packed and walk in to have a try.

Beef Pho 40Kvnd

SOSONO SPA

Took a package 450Kvnd. Not those luxury spas, very basic rooms but the therapist is very gentle n professional.

SATS Premier Lounge

The service is quite terrible, the table full of rubbish, no one clearing it. Self-service laksa counter and no one to look after and the gravy is cold.

 

1h40min flight to Danang via Vietjet, promotional ticket at $174.

After reaching Danang, took a grab (10mins) to the train station and bought a train ticket on the spot, about 230Kvnd. Recommend taking the train instead of minivan by TA.

Totally regret doing the train ride, the bed was untidy, I dare not even lie on it. Sat for 2.5hr to Hue. Should have taken the minivan instead, half of the price.

GUEST HOUSE MAIKA

450Kvnd/night

Very central, all the main eateries and clubs are just outside the main street.

The guesthouse is tuck in the back alley, v quiet.

The room was very clean, spotless clean, just that the room is facing the west and it was very warm when sunset. It is not a big issue if you left the aircon turn on. Just make sure don't stay on the 4/5th floor, no lift.

The hosts are very friendly but don't speak English. Book a bicycle for 50Kvnd and a sleeper bus @ 150Kvnd to Hoi An.

Mini fridge and kettle are all fully equipped.

Grilled cuttlefish make on the spot.

There are a few big clubs in the area too, but some clubs forbid foreigners, mainly westerners.

Try this on the first night, one of the top restaurant in this area.

Madam Thu

Overhyped the restaurant, the food was cold, those that suppose to be crispy and it was soggy. I was asked when I can finish my meal, and when my food is served, as there is one more group waiting for in the queue. And there are so many tables before me. That's how double standard they are.

160Kvnd including the orange juice.

Got a platter to try all of their signatures.
