Daily Life in Vietnam

U Cafe

Still relatively unknown by foreigners, there is something ‘other-worldly’ about U Café. A place of stillness, the only noise you’ll hear is the hum of a honey bee hovering over vines or the soft lilt of a wind-chime tickled by the breeze. According to my guide and colleague Ha, one of the best ways to unwind is to dangle your feet in the pond, let the fish nibble away and lose yourself in the view and solitude whilst sipping on one of their delicious Green Mocha teas. U Cafe is community-minded, with disadvantaged youth and women the waitstaff and, while everything is divine, it’s the organic teas that really swing.

Bars and Cafes

Ba Le Market

For the uninitiated, entering any wet market in Vietnam is a formidable undertaking. Nostrils must be pre-prepared, eyeballs readied and shock detectors re-calibrated. Ba Le Market in Hoi An is no different but it does provide a much more relaxed alternative to the other markets in town. Bring your sense of humor because Ba Le is banter as well as barter central.

Tiger Market

Unsurprisingly for a town so famous for its food, Hoi An has a good selection of marketplaces. Each has a distinct flavour, Tiger Market is no different with the added seasoning of a little bit of local folklore thrown in.

Noi Rang Market

At least an umpteen-thousand tourists visit Hoi An every year. And rightly so - for it is truly one of the world’s most beautiful towns. Sometimes, however, it’s nice to escape the crowds and get some genuine local exposure.

Fish Market

Hoi An is world-renowned for its cuisine and with the sea just a few miles from downtown, it’s unsurprising that seafood is a mainstay on most menus. Hoi An Fish Market in Tranh Hà  is where most of those delicious fishy things that end up on your dinner plate are bought and sold.
