In 2004, Japanese National Tourism Organization conducted a survey which showed that there were 7 main appeals for visitors to travel to a new land and the excellence of food was seen as the key factor.

Exploring the local culinary culture is one of the most interesting thing when traveling. For example, in Vietnam, foreign tourists, who usually drink international beer brands such as Carberg or Tiger, will want to try Hanoi draft beer, 333 beer in Saigon and Huda beer in Hue. We are all familar with a common belief - “the shortest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”

There are thousands of other stories about food and beverage, making it a culture.

In each region, the culinary culture also reflects the distinct lifestyle of individuals and the entire community. From sophisticated meals in royal palaces to delicious street food, from Vietnamese cuisines to Western dishes, and from delicacies served at luxurious restaurants to snack foods eaten in a “Grab & Go” style, all together create a diverse culibary world. On “the shortest way to the heart”, no one can imagine how many varieties people can make. Enjoy our publication about this enticing journey and tell us your own exploration.

Wish you sweet autumn days with interesting culinary experiences.

Yours sincerely, TRAVELLIVE EDITORIAL BOARD

Situated in a prime location, backed against the slope of Hon Heo Mountains, overlooking the picturesque bay and surrounded by lush green forests, An Lam Ninh Van Bay is renowned worldwide by its unique design, luxurious facilities and professional staff. The resort has ranked among high positions on the lists of the prestigious travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler and has been highly recommend by the indispensable tourist site Tripsadvisor.

Whether facing the sea or leaning against the steep cliffs, each villa shares An Lam's special aesthetics: reliable but sophisticated, simple yet romantic, modern with Vietnamese designs, cozy yet liberal, luxurious but always harmonious with nature.

A noticeable feature of An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas is its "open but closed" architect, offering guests a private place to relax and enjoy the pristine beauty of the nature, which they hardly have a chance to do in their busy lives.

VINTAGE VILLA IN THE HEART OF HANOI Situated near Truc Bach Lake and the Old Quarter, HOME is a 320-square-meter villa designed in a French style.

Built in 1935, the villa has been preserved with its French colonial architectural features.

Featuring 2 floors, 4 rooms and a spacious yard covered with green trees, HOME can serve up to 150 guests. Its owner’s vision is to create a space resembling a Franco-fied Hanoi at the turn of the 20th century, and he has collected tables and chairs that could furnish wealthy European living rooms.

The nostalgic vintage style of HOME makes it a peaceful and serene space in the center of bustling Hanoi. At HOME, you can taste a wide selection of Hanoian cuisine. Its menu is designed from pieces of newspapers and consists of some of the best seasonal dishes, and from 9:30am to 11:30am every Saturday, the restaurant’s head cook guides guests through a free cooking class for some of HOME’s dishes.

MEZZ - INTERESTING INTERACTIVE RESTAURANT Mezz is an exciting, new, and interactive restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City. Inspired by the beauty of Saigon in Indochinese time, the restaurant features high wooden ceilings and yellow and black tiled flooring highlighted with familiar patterns.

The most striking feature of the restaurant is the legendary Molteni stove exclusively designed for Mezz. Each stove is an energy factory providing guests with an exciting dining experience. With its retro appearance, the stove reminds us of the classic films of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe in which ladies wore tutus, lace aprons and high heels while cooking. Perhaps the Molteni interactive stove is secretly the culinary lover of many chefs.

Unlike usual buffets, at Mezz, live cooking stations offer diners a chance to interact with the chef and enjoy hot fresh dishes. At different corners, you can find a variety of seafood, Japanese cuisine, European dishes, Chinese specialties and desserts. At the European corner, you can order your pizza and soup. Continue your dining journey with freshly made Asian noodles, dimsum and sashimi.

Visit Paris - the world of patties, choux, äclair, mousse and more.

Teppanyaki cold stove is where you can freely select ingredients to make your favorite ice cream.

CHI HOA RESTAURANT - VIETNAMESE CULINARY QUINTESSENCE Chi Hoa is a special place for Vietnamese people whenever they miss their family meals and for visitors to enjoy Vietnamese meals.

Designed in the space of a cozy house on the international cuisine street of Saigon, Chi Hoa restaurant is brightened by many large windows.

The place is adorned with familiar Vietnamese ware, like green enamel cup and wooden chopsticks. Apart from international guests, diners at the restaurant include women with their family.

These women are the head cook of their family. If you are going to trust anyone, trust them when it comes to knowing what an authentic family meal tastes like in Vietnam.

Don’t forget to try some signature dishes, namely the baked tuna in banana leaf, crispy fried softshelled crab, beef roll with wild vegetables and spicy fried brown rice. Sit near a windy window, drink a glass of beer while enjoying crispy fried squid with tamarin fish sauce.

It would be pity not to mention Chi Hoa’s desserts: tofu with coconut extract, che ba ba (sweet soup), lotus seed covered with Logan soup, flan cakes and the main attraction, custard, with the pleasant flavor of pineapple leaves.

Unlike other restaurant following European - Asian fusion style, Chi Hoa Restaurant keeps its rustic design and serves only traditional Vietnamese dishes. Every dish is served on a big plate so that family members can enjoy it together, just like at home. Everything here bears the traditional values of Vietnamese family meals.

LONG TRIEU RESTAURANT IMPRESSIVE CANTONESE CUISINE Bearing the true distinctions of Chinese culture with fine landscape paintings as well as luxurious interiors, Long Trieu Restaurant is the greatest place to enjoy Cantonese cuisine in a royal manner.

Cantonese cuisine is one of the four major culinary schools in China and renowned for its harmony of traditional quintessence and European cooking style.

Guangdong dishes are unique and various with more than 21 cooking methods. To cook the best Cantonese cuisine, spices should be used in modest amounts to avoid overwhelming the flavor of the main ingredients and to keep the freshness of special dishes such as abalone, sea cucumber and bird’s nests. The flavors of traditional dishes such as roast suckling pig, roast duck and roast pork with honey should be well balanced and not greasy.

Seafood-lovers have a variety of choices such as grilled prawns and Hong Kong style steamed grouper while vegetarians can satisfy themselves with stewed vegetables or mushroom-stuffed tomato.

Yujiao cake, made from taro powder and flour, is a must-try dish in Guangdong Province. Taro is sliced into very fine fibers. When cooked, the skin is golden and full of small holes like a honeycomb with sugar silk yarns. At the same time, the skin is crispy, and the filling is smooth, soft and flavorsome with taro, pork and mushroom. Crispy taro cake is one of the most famous dish in this province, but if you do not have a chance to visit Guangdong, you can enjoy the dish right at Long Trieu, right in the heart of Saigon.

Thang co

rice cooked in a bamboo tube This is an indispensable dish in any meal for locals in the Northwest mountainous area.

Glutinous rice is cooked in a tube of bamboo.

When it is done, you just need to remove the burned outer layers until there is only one thin layer of bamboo enveloping white rice grains.

Break the tube of rice into small pieces and enjoy them with salted roasted sesame and peanut, then you can feel the sweet flavor of glutinous rice blended with the fresh fragrance of bamboo.

Experience such delicious rice and sniff the greasy saltiness of sesame or the great taste of grilled wild boar, you will certainly know why many people are mesmerized by this dish.

Thang co is a special local dish of the H’Mong ethnic people. Nowadays, this dish is very popular with highland people and becomes a must-try dish for visitors. Thang co is traditionally made from horse meat, but beef, buffalo meat and pork may be used now.

Locals use a variety of special spices to cook thang co and each region has a different way of making this dish. Horse meat and almost all the offal will be prepared and mixed with spices including salt, cardamom, cinnamon and lemon leaves. The meat and offal is baked for 15-30 minutes. Then all the ingredients are poured into a big pot of water and simmered for a long time. Because of its spices, thang co has a strange smell that is not very pleasant.

However, when enjoying sweet, soft stewed meat with hot corn wine, you can completely enjoy the taste of a mountain.

vermicelli with grilled pork Bun cha is one of the most famous signature dishes of Hanoians, which can be found in any street of the capital. The dish is made from simple and popular ingredients but chefs must pay great attention to every step of its preparation. Sliced and chopped pork is marinated with spices. Grill the pork and minced pork patties outdoor on charcoal until both sides are golden brown. Grilled pork will be more flavorsome when dipped in sauce made of hot chili, fresh lime, fish sauce and pickled green papaya and carrot. Also, green vegetables such as salad, marjoram, balm mint, sliced water morning glory and bean sprouts will make the dish more fresh and attractive.

broken rice For people living in Saigon in old times, tam was just a traditionally cheaper grade of rice which was damaged in milling. Nowadays, this kind of rice has been creatively used to prepare a delicious dish named com tam. Com tam is often served with a pork cutlet grilled with honey.

To make the dish more attractive, meatloaf can be added. Minced meat is mixed with duck eggs and minced peziza and seasoned with spices. A little vermicelli made of cassava makes the meatloaf more viscous. This meatloaf is steamed in a wooden mould and cut carefully when it’s cooked. A good com tam must be eaten with sweet-sour salted morning glory, omelet and fresh Chinese sausage.

TTEOKBOKKI, WARM YOUR HEART WITH THE SPICY TASTE Tteokbokki, or spicy stir-fried rice cake, is considered a cultural symbol of Korea and its people. Its attractive red color and special spicy taste can warm the heart of any diner at any age. This is the reason why tteokbokki has become the most favored snack food in Korea, attracting locals and international tourists alike.

Traditionally, tteokbokki is made from garaetteok rice cake, gochujang red chili sauce, meat, egg, spices and vegetables. Nowadays, other ingredients such as carrot, beef, bacon and seafood can be added, depending on the diners’ taste and vendors’ style. The “soul” of tteokbokki is its gochujang red chili sauce. It is often so spicy that diners, especially those who are not accustomed to spicy dishes, are intimidated to try this dish for the first time. On the other hand, spicy food lovers relish this dish without hesitation.

When autumn and its gentle winds come to town, order this dish from a street vendor and fill your empty stomach with a smoky bowl of soft round pieces of rice cake covered with a thick red-hot sauce. Then, you will know how this simple dish has mesmerized countless visitors exploring Korea.

Guan Chai Bun is served in the shape of a small coffin made of bread. The bread is cooled down after being fried to preserve its firm shape. Its original filling is removed and its crust is kept to make the lid of the coffin.

Seafood, carrots, beef, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, chili and sweet corn are stir-fried with a special kind of cream sauce to make the new filling for the bread. Diners can start enjoying their “coffin” by eating the lip first then the filling. The great combination of rich filling with cream sauce and the crispy crust surely brings visitors a new memorable dining experience.

For vegetarians, the filling is made from tofu, margarine and vegetables.

The more ingredients being used to make the filling, the more flavors the dish has. On each street, with different vendors, you can enjoy various unique versions of Guan Chai Bun. Is this curiosity appealing enough to attract you to Taiwan?

MASALA CHAI, UNIQUE SPICE TEA Indian cuisine is well known for its sophisticated use of spices and herbs in different dishes and beverages. Whenever talking about Indian street food, no visitor can go without mentioning the appealing aroma of Masala Chai, the perfect combination of tea and aromatic spices and herbs.

Historically, Indians viewed Masala Chai as an herbal medicine rather than as a recreational beverage. However, this drink has become more and more popular with locals and visitors. The main ingredients of Masala Chai include tea, milk, sweetener, spices and herbs.

There is no fixed recipe for this beverage. While Ceylon black tea is often used at restaurants, Mamri tea seeds are favored by locals and sold by vendors. Each vendor also chooses a different type of sweetener to make his own version of the tea.

Plain white sugar, sugar candy, jaggery, molasses or even honey is used. Making the signature spicy flavor of Masala Chai are various types of spices and herbs including pepper, ginger, star anise, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves. If you want to make your own tea, you can buy these ingredients at any Indian market.

The most common way to enjoy Masala in India is to stop on a sidewalk or in residential area and wait for the vendor that prepares the tea in a copper pot. The tea will be poured out into an enameled terra-cotta cup through a filtered net.

A cup of aromatic hot Masala Chai in the early morning or in the evening with gentle winds blowing outside the window can be a great memory that you can bring back home after your journey to the land of Buddha.

CHALLENGE YOUR INGENUITY WITH TOSTADA It is said that if you haven’t enjoyed Tostada on the sidewalk, then you have only explored half of Mexico.

Tostada usually refers to a flat or bowl-shaped tortilla. Originally, the tostada avoided waste when tortillas were not fresh enough to be made into tacos (a traditional Mexican dish), but were made fresh enough to be eaten. The tortilla is fried in boiling oil until it becomes golden, rigid and crunchy. Mexicans add toppings to make it more delicious. The toppings include beans, meat, cream, chopped lettuce, sliced onions, butter and cheese.

Nowadays, there are many versions of tostada. The most popular one is tostada with cooked chicken or pork. They are also popular ones with seafood such as tuna, shrimp, crab, and chopped octopus or with vegetarian toppings as well. Since its toppings consist of chopped ingredients put on a thin tortilla, tostada is a challenge for your ingenuity. If you are not careful enough, the toppings and garnishes will fall off while being eaten, making your space a mess of tiny pieces of food. Why don’t you challenge yourself and make your adventure in Mexico even more exciting?

PESCE FRITTO AL CONO, AROMATIC AND CRISPY LIKE “MOTHER’S GIFTS” Pesce Fritto Al Cono is the most famous street food in Italy thanks to its signature Mediterranean flavor. At first glance, you will be reminded of the small snacks your mother would wrap up for you in a piece of old newspaper.

Pesce Fritto Al Cono is fresh, fried seafood served in a paper cone, which is convenient to take on the go. Depending on the catch of the day, the portion you get each day is different. So, it isn’t a surprise that the same amount of money buys you a cone full of fried fish one day and a mixture of shrimp and squid another day. At the end of the day, after wondering along the romantic roads of Rome or Venice, stop at a roadside food stall and wait for your Pesce Fritto Al Cono being deep-fried in front of you. What can make you hungrier than listening to the sound of the pan and the smell of seafood blended with frying powder? Take a cone full of crispy fish, and squid then add some lime and you’re ready to enjoy this interesting dish while continuing your stroll down the street.

SCOTCHTAILS, “SUNSET” IN PAPER BOX It’s widely believed that street food often has a less attractive appearance because it must be served quickly and easy to take on the go. However, Scotchtails (scotch eggs) from the UK is definitely an exception.

Its crust is made from a mixture of pureed meat. Diners can choose pork, beef, chicken or even fish. The meat is mixed with spices, pepper, onion and fennel to get rid of the bad odor and make this dish more flavorful. Eggs are stir-boiled and peeled before being wrapped by the mixture of meat. Lastly, scotch eggs are fried in a pan of boiling oil until they are yellow. The recipe is quite simple but what makes Scotchtails “a work of street art” is the chefs’ timing. They have to calculate the time just right so that the egg white is cooked and able to be peeled, but so that the yolk remains runny. Upon finishing, the eggs are placed onto kitchen paper and left to cool slightly before eating. Good Scotchtails must consist of three parts: crispy meat crust, egg white and egg yolk cooked to medium. Many bloggers say that the best Scotchtails feature an orange red yolk. The yolk looks like a small sun at dusk.

With each portion, Scotchtails are cut in half and put into a “straw litter” with salad and potato fries.

On a gloomy day in the UK, you can enjoy a portion of Scotchtails at Borough market and feel like you have just entered a colorful sunset.

CHURROS, AN IRRESISTIBLE CONFESSION OF LOVE Churros are traditional Spanish desserts developed over centuries by Spanish shepherds. High up in the mountains, fresh baked goods were impossible to come by.

Therefore, they came up with a delicious sweet cake, which they could easily cook over a fire. These cakes also provided them with enough energy during their long travels in the mountains. Nowadays, Churros are not only cooked at home and served at fancy restaurants but are also sold by street vendors.

Traditionally, Churros are made from wheat flour, vanilla, egg yolk, milk and a little smoothly blended chocolate. The dough is shaped in small long cylindrical rods and then fried until they become crunchy. Street vendors may sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on the surface of the churros. Also, this dish is served with chocolate sauce for dipping. It’s hard to refuse these greasy delicacies, which are soft on the inside and crispy golden brown on the outside, all dipped in melted chocolate sauce.

Apart from the traditional long rod, Churros are made in various shapes such as heart shapes, triangles and teardrops. More than a simple street food for Spanish teenagers, heart-shaped Churros are like a confession of love wishing to be shared with its lover. How can you resist these sweet things?

Brought to Saigon by the French during the mid-19th century, banh mi first appeared as baguettes with pate and butter to eat as appetizers. As time went by, Vietnamese people turned these crunchy French baguettes into a beloved concoction combining pate with pork, eggs, soy sauce, and an ever-changing array of herbs and vegetables. Nowadays, banh mi attracts many chefs and foodies from around the world for its cultural and culinary blend.

“How can you distinguish a good loaf of bread without even tasting it? Not from the smell, nor the look, but the sound of the crust.” - Chef Colette Tatou said to the garbage boy Alfredo Linguini in the film Ratatouille (the most popular animated comedy film in 2007). Yes, only great bread can compose a symphony of “crunch”.

In Vietnam, banh mi introduces its own distinct culture from each of its various regions. While the banh mi of Hanoi is popular for the quality of its cha (a very smooth paste made from high-quality lean pork), Saigonese banh mi can drive you crazy for its southern style: bigger baguettes crammed with more veggies, and herbs like cilantro, carrots, cucumber, and red peppers. While banh mi from Danang is tempting for its grilled pork, Vietnamese mint, and papaya pickle. Tourists coming to Dalat quickly become all too familiar with this crispy banh mi and the meat ball soup that accompanies it.

Mind-blowing fillings, healthy ingredients, and beautiful baguettes - no wonder foodies from around the world love this Vietnamese “grab & go” food. Asian people are very concerned about balancing flavors, which is why it’s hard to find something full of greasy meat, smoked ham, and fatty cheese. A banh mi will always have that certain mouth-watering taste and aroma from the pate, butter and meaty fillings, along with those spicy and earthy notes from the herbs and veggies, topped off with a savory finish of soy sauce or homemade sauce. All these different flavors combine to achieve a delicious harmony. So shall you order a banh mi for breakfast on a busy day, why not?

BENTO SALAD - JAPANESE INSPIRED LUNCH BOX

B

efore organic food, detox water, and lowcarb portions became trendy, fresh veggies and fruits were playing an important role in Asian cuisine for quite a long time. Inspired by the Japanese Bento (Lunch Box), and classic recipes for European salads, more and more office people choose to order in salad boxes for a healthy lunch, especially those living and working in Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Healthy salad recipes are upgraded with more beans, meat and fish to comprise a lunch box for busy people.

Italian Caesar Salads are enjoying a major resurgence in popularity. This salad keeps things simple with its romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Later as people started ordering it for lunch, instead of as an appetizer, more ingredients such as hard boiled eggs, ham, and anchovies have been added. Niçoise salad is a favorite “grab & go” box in Asian restaurants thanks to its delightful flavors mixed with fresh anchovies, lettuce, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, tuna, hard boiled eggs, and olives, with vinaigrette dressing. Indonesia offers an interesting salad box - Gado Gado - which is a combination of assorted vegetables, tofu, tomato, eggs, and plenty of shrimp chips, dressed in peanut sauce.

Fast food in general, such as a double cheese burger, fried chicken, fish & chips, or French fries, are easy to come by in any city, and people tend to think of fast food as something convenient but unhealthy, cheap but heavy. However, if you happen to travel to Asia, you will discover a whole nother world of fast food. “Grab & go” food can be tasty and nutritious, inexpensive and a breeze.

Fusion style is creatively applied to this dish as the chef uses familiar Western ingredients combined with Asian ones. Asian ingredients include black pepper sauce made from the chef's secret recipe, sweet oyster sauce, and black pepper carefully selected from Phu Quoc.

Asparagus, beef tenderloin, smoked bacon and fried potato make up the European components. Tender asparagus blends with sweet beef while the spicy scent of pepper infuses the bacon with flavor. Pairing with a glass of red wine on a cool day offers you a rewarding dining experience.

BABI GUILING - ROAST SUCKLING PIG Babi is a must-have dish at any popular festival on Bali. Roast suckling pig is served with rice, local vegetables and signature hot sauce. The most famous place for Babi guiling would be none other than Ibu Oka in Ubud. The owner of this restaurant adds that suckling pigs are not as small as many people think. A well-cared for pig, which eats clean food and follows a

good regime can weigh up to 70kg and produce great meat.

Traditionally, the pig is prepared in the early morning so that the host can treat his guests for lunch. First, the chef rubs the skin of the pig well with turmeric until it is bright yellow. The cavity of the pig is stuffed with coriander, lemongrass, lemon leaves, salam leaves, chili, black pepper, garlic, ginger and galangal. When the pig is ready, it is skewered lengthwise on a spit and placed over hot charcoal.

Strong young men rotate the pig slowly until it is nicely browned and cooked through. The skin must be crispy and buttery but not too much so. The chef sometimes splashes a little water on the hot charcoal in order to make the dish smoky. This is a striking feature of traditional Babi Guiling, which is far different from roasted pig or fried pig from other regions.

Imagine that you are waiting eagerly for your Babi Guiling, and when the dish is ready, its colors and flavors satisfy you. The glossy gold color of the crispy skin blended with white rice and green traditional hot sauce catch your eyes while the scent of ginger, lemongrass, pepper and chili make you hungrier. Do as the locals do, and don't hesitate to eat the dish with your hands.

BEBEK BETUTU - BALINESE STEAM DUCK Bebek Betutu is famous for its finical recipe. It is so sophisticated that before becoming popular at tourist restaurants, the duck had to be ordered at least one day in advance. Only local ducks that are fed on leftover grains and seeds in Ubud's rice fields are selected. They clean the duck and season it with salt, pepper and tamarind extract to get rid of the bad odor. The duck is stuffed with eggs, salam leaves and a special mixture named "Bumbu Rajeng", making Bebek Betutu more flavorful. Having marinating for 8-10 hours, the duck is wrapped with betel-nut bark and steamed.

When cooked, the meat should be so tender that it falls off the bones.

Perhaps the dish's sophisticated recipe and the long preparation and cooking required are the secrets of the island's cuisine of "strange tastes". Nowadays, there are only a few restaurants offering this special dish in Bali, each over 30 years old.

Apart from Bebek Betutu, a variant named Bebek Goreng (crispy fried duck) is favored.

SATE - GRILLED MEATS There are many excellent instances of culinary arts in the world and Balinese sate must be the most diverse international dish.

Different culinary cultures have their own specialties bearing their distinctions of culture and climate.

Visiting Bali, don't miss sate, the most flavorful dish on the island.

Balinese people often eat sate at special parties. The host and his guests sit around a "table" made from banana arecas. Sate is served with fried rice, beansprouts salad, shrimp-chips and crispy roasted soybeans.

Whether prepared by a talented chef of a five-star hotel or by a humorous street vendor, the dish always brings

you a great dining experience.

You will find it interesting while seeing your chef skewer meat, continuously dipping them into sweet soy sauce and skillfully grilling the sate over charcoal.

Some restaurants serve sate with the same spicy sauce as Babi Guiling and Bebek Betutu.

Cardamon, cinnamon and dill seeds can also be added. Some chefs grind peanuts to make sauce, bringing a distinct flavor. I'm sure that you couldn't handle the wait while watching the skewers of meat being cooked, smelling the sweet odor of burned sugar and feeling the smoke rise from the spit. After a day wandering the romantic streets of Bali, why don't you treat yourself with hot sate or other grilled dishes?

MASAKAN PADANG PADANG CUISINE Padang is a village of Minangkabau people of West Sumatra, Indonesia and Masakan Padang is known as the signature cuisine of Palang village. Because most Minangkabau people are Muslim, Minangkabau cuisine follows halal dietary law rigorously. However, when visiting Bali, you will find halal functions like the rules in a game of football, in which the players must skillfully work within the guidelines to create something beautiful and uniquely their own. Watch as the island's developing culinary scene plays the game, working creatively within the rules as locals skillfully prepare their ingredients including beef, water buffalo, goat, lamb meat, poultry and

fish, along with offal.

Minangkabau cuisine demonstrates Indian and Middle Eastern influences, dishes cooked in curry sauce with coconut milk and a hefty mix of spices. The cuisine is usually cooked once per day and items on the menu are usually left on display inside glass cupboards so diners can easily know whether the restaurant offers their favorites or not. If you are wondering about these dishes, the waiter will recommend some highly flavored foods such as beef rending (a spicy meat stew), fried chicken, curried fish, and of course, sambal, the spicy sauce found on every Indonesian table. The chosen dishes will be served immediately to your table with steamed rice, curry sauce and vegetables such as steamed cassava leaves, young jackfruit and cabbage.

Don't be surprised when they provide kobokan, a bowl of tap water with a slice of lime in it. This water is used to wash one's hands before and after eating, since in Padang food establishments, dishes are usually eaten by hand. If you do not wish to eat with bare hands, it is acceptable to ask for a spoon and fork. Clearly, the idiosyncrasies of Balinese dishes are intertwined with their unique methods of enjoying food.

trendy geometry Those loving the beautiful highlights of impressive geometric patterns will absolutely adore homed채cor designs inspired by circles, squares, triangles and zig-zags. These geometric patterns seem monotonous and rigid; however, when applied properly and harmoniously into interior, they can add some interesting angles to your house.

The monochromatic black and white motifs offer elegance and modernity, while the gentle pastel colors of straight and diagonal lines are an ideal choice for your house in autumn. If you favor a strong touch with clear and sharp highlights, then the

contrasting colors (such as orange- black, or brown-white) are the most impressive choices.

Putting shapes on furniture quite familiar, but with the transformation of the geometric contour, the home d채cor world is now increasingly diverse and abundant. Apart from combining geometric patterns and motifs, the furniture can be made by putting different angles and blocks together.

For example, a fruit bowl can consist of triangular pieces, or a wall lamp can have a complex shape of circle blocks. These things, along with the harmony of bright and low colors, will bring vitality to the house.

Turn your blank wall into a warm and vivid one by adding familiar objects renewed in new colors and shapes, and you can add an extremely attractive look to your house. A small kitchen suddenly becomes brighter with teak products such as chopsticks, teaspoons, ladles and sieves. Made from teak wood with a beautiful, smooth texture and easy to clean surface, these items can give a room that rustic brown look.

As one of the leading trends this autumn, bamboo baskets and weavings are favored by their clarity and usability. Moreover, when refreshed by sturdy colors, they can astonish you with a new, strong and generous feeling. Using monochrome red is the best way to attract a glance into the kitchen of the owners with their bubbly personality.

Those who love Barcelona and its famous football club call this city Barca for short.

The Catalan capital is also one of the most beautiful and livable cities in the world.

known for its lack of English.

Surprisingly though, they don’t speak Spanish here as well!

Their language is Catalan, which shares common roots with Spanish. In fact, Barcelona is one of four Catalan cities, and is an autonomous community within Spain, which is easily recognizable by all the Catalan flags flying throughout the city.

The breathtaking beauty of Barcelona is apparent, whether it is regarded from the colorful sunsets at Barcelona’s harbor, while shopping in the middle of bustling La Rambla, or admired from the imposing architecture of Sagrada Familia Church.

Visiting Barcelona on an autumn day, we hope that the sun will greet us and that the weather will be much more beautiful than Paris, where we have been living. My friend claims that the weather in Barcelona is quite similar to Vietnam’s, and that it rarely rains in autumn. However, Barcelona greets us with rain showers, not too heavy but enough to dampen our forecast and eager expectations.

Before starting my journey, I read up on all the mustsee destinations, and even jotted down some sentences in Spanish, since Spain is

When buying a ticket to the Sagrada Familia church, I remind myself to keep my wallet and personal belongings carefully secure in case of pickpockets, and then quickly begin to contemplate how this unfinished building can attract thousands of visitors each year. I am immediately confronted with the answer to my question upon seeing the church. It is a work of art! With its sophisticated details, Sagrada is unique among all the churches I have visited in Europe.

No journey to Barcelona would be complete without visiting the unparalleled architectural works of Antoni Gaudi, a saint here.

Gaudi’s style is everywhere!

Barcelonans in particular as well as Spain in general are thankful to the “mad genius” of his style, which give curious travelers that

much more to explore in Barca.

Just like people in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Barcelona’s residents consider football their life force.

Although I am not a fan of the renowned Barcelona football club, I still want to discover more about their football culture as well as Nou Camp, FC Barcelona’s stadium, which is next on my list.

Cuisine and music are two things I always seek out in my travels, so of course, Paella is on the dinner menu that night, and Flamenco, the main entertainment. Paella is originally a Valencian rice dish, but gradually it became widely regarded as a part of Spain’s national cuisine. We walk along the shore to find a restaurant specializing in paella until the enticing smell of this rice dish catches our attention and seem to wipe away all the fatigue from a long day of sightseeing.

Finding the exact words to describe how delicious paella this is; it’s impossible. The ineffable buttery taste of rice blends with seafood extract and sour lime all coming together to create a scrumptious dish highlighted by mussels, shrimps and oysters. Amazing!

No journey to Barcelona would be complete without visiting the unparalleled architectural works of Antoni Gaudi, a saint here.

Gaudi’s style is everywhere!

Nothing could be better than watching Flamenco after having enjoyed some delicious paella.

When we are searching for an ideal location, we come across a long queue of people lining up in front of a small bar. The bar is quite simple, lit in little red lights. As a curious visitor, I wait for hours to buy a 20 Euro ticket, and I isn’t disappointed, “how captivating!” I would wait just as long for the performance even if the ticket price were double what it was. Within only half an hour,

the performance is under way, all the strength of the singers’ voices along side their fierce dancing. It is truly an unforgettable experience.

My overall impression, though difficult to pin down, is that I find Spanish people, with their distinct Mediterranean temperament, very attractive and friendly.

It is sunny in the morning on our last day in Barca, and we consider it an invitation for us to come back to the Catalan capital again one day.

Goodbye Barcelona! Goodbye Spain!

FURTHER INFORMATION ü From Vietnam, you can fly to Madrid, Spain with Vietnam Airlines, then use local transportation to get to Barcelona. ü Must-see destinations: La Rambla Square, Sagrada Familia Church, Park Guell, and Camp Nou Stadium ü Getting around Barcelona: accessible metro system, train, or bus. ü Hotel: you can book a hotel on hostelworld.com or airbnb. com. Rates start anywhere from 15 to 30 euros per night.

SUNSET IN NGAI THAU THUONG PHOTOGRAPHER: LE HONG HA When winter winds start blowing in the Northwest of Vietnam, informing that the “cloud hunting season” is coming to town, small paths in Ngai Thau Thuong Village (Y Ty) seem to be more picturesque than ever.

Strong winds blow clouds through slits and trees, let them envelop the small village on the mountain’s slopes and freely play on heavy baskets of ethnic people. Crepuscular rays gently fill this space with their captivating yellow colors, offering travelers a memorable experience.
