4 cafes with New Year themed decorations for festive check in
As the Lunar New Year is coming to town, the cheerful, festive atmosphere is felt in almost every drinking
HCM CITY — With only a week to go to Tết (Lunar New Year) holiday, motifs related to the country’s biggest festival are springing up in many cafes in HCM City.
Tucked in a small alley at 280/10 Cach Mạng Thang 8 Street in District 3, Nha Mình Coffee shop is adding to its original retro style a nostalgic touch with old-fashioned Tet decorations and items from a typical home in the past.
It consists of two rooms and can serve up to 40-50 people. A drink here costs VNĐ30,000- 40,000 (US$1.30-1.74).
With rattan tables and chairs and models of Tết cakes like banh chưng and banh tet and peach blossoms, Le Ciel Cafe evokes a rural idyll.
The green and white Mediterranean-style cafe at 193/9 Đien Bien Phủ Street in Bình Thạnh District has been given a temporary bright red makeover as the countdown to Tết begins.
It feels like visiting an estranged relative's home in Tết with festive atmosphere of yellow apricot flowers, red lanterns and traditional calligraphy. It is also adorned with green ornamental plants for Tết. — VNS
