Hi all my dear Steemians,
This is the first time I joined Tasteem contest. I am working as a Global Supporter of Tasteem. My aim since the beginning day was that I wouldn't join Tasteem contest, just to be a curator of Tasteem.
But when I came to Ciao Coffee, it hooked me into the contest. Cos I really really wanted to introduce this restaurant to all of you when you have a chance to visit Ho Chi Minh city.
1. About the Restaurant:
1.1. The outside:
Generally, it's a coffee shop with cakes and ice-cream. It's located in Nguyen Hue Street, No.1 Dist in Ho Chi Minh City.
The Restaurant from outside looks like an old ship, lying relaxedful on the shore, waiting for the passengers going out and in. So much interesting and attractive.
It's attractive from both two sides.Each side has its own a design to fit with the surroundings.
This side is used for the customers to park their motorbikes. With the help of the security team, the line was still clean and neat.
This side is exposure to the walking part. Some people prefer sitting here cos they can enjoy the natural atmosphere and see the crowd walking around.
1.2. Inside the restaurant:
What actually makes this restaurant more attractive is its inside decoration.
The decorating style is based on the old and classic style. I slowed down my steps to enjoy every corners of the restaurant.
It's so delicate and elegant.
The owner paid the attention to every small details inside the restaurant. The pictures on wall were chosen and hang carefully. The small book store was located beautifully under the pictures.
Let's see the way the pictures hang on the wall: very artistic, very delicate.
All the things in this restaurant were picked up and mix-match carefully. Their locations are also a very important part to add up the beauty and unique of the whole room.
1.3 The sitting places
I wanna gather up the sitting places into a separate part because there are many different sitting places that can satisfy the desire and feelings of each customers.
As I can see, there are some corners suitable for gathering with friends, for example: the sofa at the center of the room.
If you want to find somewhere close to the outside atmosphere. You can check the tables on the 1st floor.
For someone prefer a quiet corner to relax and get more peace, my recommendation is some tables on the 2nd floor.
You will fall in love with the second floor like me since the first sight seeing the stairways leading to the above floor.
There are a led signal,and the old style light on the wall.
On the second floor, the sitting places are more quiet. There are not many tables, each of them is located at the separate corners. The customers will find it very relaxed.
To me, I love sitting at this kinds of place, with the cozy light around. Feeling so relaxed and peaceful after the busy working days.
One more point I love this restaurant is its light. The yellow light spread around, creating the cosy space.
2. About the served ones
I ordered ice-cream and coffee though there were many things for you to choose.
The restaurant served cakes, fresh ice-cream besides coffee. You can come by yourself and pick up the flavour you like.
The service here was good. Right away after we sit down, the waiters came up and served us.
And the coffee and ice-cream were brought quite fast after our order. We didn't need to wait too long.
Though I had chosen my things, I still wanted to check the menu. It is quite simple and easy to follow with normal type of font. The check list was clear and the price is reasonable.
And here are our order:
Fresh ice-cream with matcha - coconut tastes.
As its name, the taste of ice - cream was really fresh. It melt and slowly absord into the tongue. I am not the one who love sweet and cold things, but I have to admit that this ice-cream is deserved to try.
This was my choice. I always prefer giving coffee a try when visiting the different restaurants.
This time I chose Espresso with no ice. The procedure to enjoy my coffee included some steps. of course, I followed the instruction very carefully. :D
Step 1: Add a little sugar.
Step 2: Dip the biscuit into the coffee :D
Step 3: Enjoy my coffee
Step 4: Check bill
3. Conclusion:
Actually, I came there after several long and busy and tired working days. And I loved it at the first sight. The space, the decoration, the service all gave me the comfortable, relaxed and peaceful feelings.
I really enjoyed it. Each minute there can help me pause my life to give myself some time on my own.
I can see clearly what I was doing and what I should do instead of being blown away by other stuff.
Among the crowded and noisy city, this place is actually a beautiful corner for soul.
