Enjoy coffee at sidewalk SaPa Vietnam

Seat as a sidewalk, even dangling corn, bananas and flowers are spent Chit wall surface of the colorful words ... Consistent only hotel I live more than ten feet, but I did not know the existence of Sapa Vietnam Coffee on the Corner to access.
 
I recognize the presence of a bar to hear familiar tunes from a music that I like. This music usually only open in the coffee shop with hi-end audio equipment in a closed room page. Yet here, the very people who walk the intersection between high and low slopes fog free man, the music is still fairly warm, melodic.



For travelers who are my other sound familiar even heartwarming, the late afternoon of Sa Pa frost.
 
The imprint of the four friends left on the walls.
 
I chose a small corner table, with legs made from a wheel and the seats are low blow. In fact, there is no much choice. Or you can sit at tables under open-cell spread as a sidewalk, or will sit inside the walls of many "accessories" such as a Hmong-off.
 
The word "sidewalk" I could observe the front bar. Beneath thatched roof color ua numerous items typical of the Northwest. There burden temperate fruit domain, magenta flowering banana forest, there are rolls of rare orchids, with pumpkins and corn dangling inside the doorway. A very funny scene!



Not hard for me to see Peter, the owner of this place. British capital was Chang'an, but has many years of study abroad should have the looks, and ways of talking are "Western". Peter after he graduated in society, currently working for a non-governmental organizations. For the love people and this land so he opened the restaurant, is essential to find an excuse to stay in Sa Pa.
 
The Birth of Coffee Corner, with the idea of ​​bringing Hanoi sidewalk café located in multicolor space of the upper. Then a funny look, pretty pretty the place soon became a frequent destination of the field guide, the writers and artists and guests of the West Ship.
 
The owner shown available "toys" for guests.



 Peter has a few more weeks magnet tea but the story of the village, on the place, the English classes he teaches the children ... still not over. Stop talking like best friends.
 
Good tea, music, warm, friendly hotel, very early in the highlands night was bitter cold winter, with the acquaintances living in sunny Southern flooding. Peter went to set up coal, heating just to me, just for grilling corn, potatoes.


A Glimpse of ... Northwest.
 
Music has helped reservations, romantic mist is still clear and fragrant tea, but I have to go! Regarding to keep little regret, attachment and save to Sa Pa forward to returning. From now I have one more place on the tourist map of their own.

The grandmother was outside the 90-year-old that year, which is the Muong Khuong, sells winning try in Bac Ha. Two people are very fond of each other, got together as mother and daughter. Since then, her mother passed to assist the secret team trying to win cooking.
After retirement, she help to SaPa Vietnam career. From that day until now over 20 years. Initially, when she decided to know everyone here can recommend as "the plains do not ease out loud, so foolish that crashed head on reverse side." But the calming wisdom intolerable nostalgia turns trying to win the pot along with the Bac Ha market, the family and she is determined to believe in the promised land.
Victory is the special problem of Mongolia in North Vietnam, usually in the village fairs Mongolia.
Previously, trying to win a match between the pan-wave lean meat, the fat contents of your organs and animals such as cattle or horses. Brother, sister ethnic markets often try to gather together to win the pan to warm corn wine and enough protein to protect against the cold of the mountains. After you say no, she squeezed her husband to drive home a saddle.
Today, the victory has been modified to try more. Muong Khuong is trying to win win fixed dishes specializing in horses.

Eat to win fixed Bac Ha corn alcohol - wine warm, warm and fragrant, is the essence of the mountains from. Therefore, taking into anywhere that sweet to go there. When the food and drinks are embedded into each other will create a soothing and unforgettable.



Commitment to take on hybrid format
To get today, help her family went through many difficulties. All sales in the market temporarily, before her family moved to the checkpoint and ticket market cuisine.
Ms Helps said: "This is the day before the temporary market. Her shop is just a small tent, two collapsed just enough inventory. Now, her family has two campuses. A market in Sa Pa cuisine with two boxes, spacious, wide; one in the town of Vinh Phuc. "
When asked about the difficulties she went through to get the nutrition of today, her eyes distant Help system. She said: "The opening of the first day, which did not have much capital. How much money saved from lower down bring up are put into the business. The restaurant opened not his reputation and clientele so humid. Sometimes horses have to get on that sale is not sold, to be as well not take long for horse meat will be destroyed. If you sell bad meat will take guests. No capital goods are not sold; loss of money for goods and then abandoned. The whole family was so much discouraged. The kind of down, but quit the management board member of the Fair, my family remain determined to get rich from winning try. "
Word spread far. Only from Monday open every month, her family's attempt to win a lot of tourists come. He has a chance to go back to Sa Pa definitely come second. People do not come over to find the taste to the mountains because listening experience handed down from friends. Some people are just trying to feed her family's victory, if that day the restaurant was not open but no one refused to eat the other food. Customers do not pay attention to signs, just remember a small posture, agility and a permanent smile always on her lips. Many visitors come to the market cuisine, while others were in the box but realized she immediately put her to eat breakfast at home.
She said: "There are many goals that my family is trying to mimic the crowded open for sale but not sold because not cook. Others are only subject signs, when a client is running to get my house on sale for customers but in fact, 12 different spices, I just nine first, while the remaining three traditional things, never revealed. Many people also learn to ask the team to know the secret, but the spices have always been key to the pot before, and spices when in front of them only part time. "
Help She had three children. She said: "My family was just handing her daughter and son. Eldest daughter to Vinh Yen restaurant, daughter-in Sa Pa in charge. Even her husband and son did not know all the traditional condiment for trying to win the pot. "
Ms Helps said: "The summer day was very crowded restaurant. Sometimes up to 2, 3 am is still guests. Every day gained 17, 18 million in goods. "
The fire flickers, the story is also close to an end, the time an account of her patrons at Vinh Yen go to restaurants to enjoy the new dishes. Help us farewell, but in her mind even bothering trying hard to win, the mountains and the hospitality of the people here.
