To everyone abroad asking why their cà phê sữa đá never tastes right: it is the robusta, not the technique. Buy Vietnamese beans. Use a phin. Wait the four minutes. That is the whole secret and I am tired of pretending otherwise.
Tết flower market on Nguyễn Huệ opens next week. If you are flying in, come the first night, before the crowds and while the mai are still perfect.
