🇻🇳[Hoi An] Sunset, a glass of the sea's gift — Afterglow at Ubebe in Hoi An

#SoutheastAsiaTravel #VietnamTravel #HoiAn #UbebeBanhMi

On an evening when the sun was slowly setting across the river, we sat down at Ubebe, a small café in Hoi An. The crimson glow of the sunset seeped through the café walls, marking the end of the day and the beginning of the night.

We ordered a special banh mi, coconut coffee, and salt coffee. The menu was simple, but when combined with the sunset air, it held a deeper story than any other dinner.

The salt coffee felt like a gift from the sea. It wasn't salty, but rather soft and serene—like the traces of waves left on our lips by the wind. The sweetness infused within that saltiness slowly melted away the fatigue of a long day.

The coconut coffee felt like the warm comfort of the coconut tree, the tree of this land. The softness of the sun-drenched coconut and the deep bitterness of the coffee combined to create a cup that harmonized the sea, the tree, and the human heart.

And the special banh mi—the aroma of herbs and fresh ingredients hidden within the crispy bread conveyed a simple happiness, perfect for the setting sun.

Sunset at Ubebe was a moment where coffee, the sea, coconut, and the sunset merged into a single landscape.
As I sipped, the sunset deepened, and my heart grew calmer.
That day in Hoi An left a deep, lingering memory, a scent that was even more profound than the taste.
