Caption: Huyên, working on the breakfast this morning at The Rooftop Lounge. Folks, Things are looking up as more and more people discover that we are making huge and delicious breakfasts on the rooftop. During the last few days, we have been really busy and surprised by the overwhelmingly positive customers feedback! Is all perfect? No, there's a lot of room for improvements (notably speed)...but so far our team has been able to built on a solid foundation of past experiences making solid breakfasts...! Our customers seems to agree! The great majority of them are returning to try a new breakfast or just to have their (already) favorite one! Perfect! The future seems bright...!

Caption: Dans ma rue il y a des vendeurs de lunettes fumées... Folks, Kids are gone to Thai Binh Province and I have to take the dog out to #doinghisshit ! Since I've started to work in the morning it is strange to have a normal schedule and be able to do things when there is still sunlight! It is also funny to observe the life around our hotel...how much it changed in the last years! More businesses (read hotels), more hustles in the streets; it will be interesting to see how the city will develop and look like in the next 10 years! Boom or Bust? Let see! In the meantime, have a drink at your favorite hangout...! Buy 2 Get 1 Free on all Cocktails Between 5 - 9 pm! See you soon...

Captation: Côte d'Azur in Nha Trang Folks, Next time someone write or says that The Rooftop Lounge is an expensive place to hangout, please refer to this post! Granted we are not a monopoly on the beach but 70.000 vnd for that watery orange juice...and that 40.000 vnd water bottle...and the "non smiling" almost hostile service!...and what about those plastic chairs...and...oh never mind, we know you don't care! They can even pay slave wages to their workers and you would still continue to praise the place! Hahaha! Oh well... Our point is that we are not the cheapest place in town but, we certainly offers a much better value than those " 5 stars" venues...Anyways...hahaha! That was the complaint of the day!

Caption: #Pure #Canadian #sugar! #siropderable #jujube #maynard #framboisesuédoises Folks, My great friend Guillaume is in town with his lovely Marianne and look what they have brought back from #Canada...#maplesyrup and some of my favorite candies! A real bounty for expatriated Canadiens...Thank you! That said, look at the face of Maude (and the two others), it seems that instinctively maple syrup and Swedish Berry are also their favorite candies in the world (#why #damn)! A race to the death has started, who will eat all the candies first before nothing is left! Me of course...! (Add #evil #laugh) hahahahahahaha! Take care... #lechefnicolas Become a fan! www.instagram.com/havanhotel Ps. Kids, you lose hahaha! (at Ha Van Hotel & The Rooftop Lounge)

Caption: Tram is happy serving " #thebestbreakfast of Nha Trang"...! Folks, I wouldn't have thought that it would be so rewarding to get back, working, in a kitchen... #hateloverelationship and to see the happy faces of tourists, regulars, and friends degustating our big breakfasts is #priceless! It makes me forget all the bad feelings about working #underpressure for assh@le bosses that don't understand anything about food or customer needs. At The Rooftop Lounge, the goal of our team is to prepare constantly delicious breakfasts that will induce our customers to feel fully satisfied and to be back regularly for more! Our style: Old school dinners' kitchen; we love simplicity, quality and quantity...! We let the fancy stuff for more talented chefs! Beside, I get to choose what we cook and serve now; it' me the assh@le boss now!!!

Caption: The kid's breakfasts, always the first one of the day! Folks, The transition between working at late at night and working early in the morning couldn't have been more brutal for me; there won't be anymore nights ending by kicking out the last drunken fools insisting for a last beer, and I am done going to sleep after bringing the kids at school! What a reversal of situation: instead I am waking up with the sun and by 7h, I am already working! Today, it is all about serving healthy people that are able to have a balance lifestyle! It is almost to believe that I will be able to become a normal human being again! Hahaha! No, it is too late for that!
