The mother ship has landed

Our quiet neck of the woods has been attracting little businesses for a while now. Corner stores, noodle shops and recently a couple of nice little cafes have arrived but nothing prepared me for the completion of Mori Cafe. It's a neon wonderland complete with DJ and multiple floors dedicating to getting the local populace all sugared up and doing a pretty successful job of it based on my one visit so far.



I stayed on the ground floor watching the football and didn't stray up further but I'll be there soon.

Lotte mart and a big shiny cafe opening in the same week! How much excitement can I take?

Coffee

Vietnamese coffee is addictive but getting one is a fairly lengthy affair. First you get tea, iced tea usually, most coffee shops serve up a glass of this along with the menu. Then comes the coffee in a little metal filter, slowly, very slowly, dripping into a glass containing condensed milk. Once all the coffee has worked the way through the filter you need to stir the conconction well before pouring it over ice.

Posher places like Highlands Coffee serve it ready made but I like the waiting. Iced black coffee is available too for times when such a sugar rush isn't required.
