Traveling is indeed desired for everyone when the lockdown is finished, however, there are still many restrictions and complicated rules with airlines and destinations. Therefore, I would choose to retreat myself with one of the most favorite food outside. It has been over months that I didn't eat outside, and I miss the time out with family and friends and especially my favorite food.
Fish & Seafood
It's not only my favorite food but also my beautiful childhood memory. Since I was a child, my dad often went fishing and we had fish every day at home which never made me fed up with it. Sometimes, he allowed me to follow him on his boat and sailed around a river and floating fields. I grew up with that beautiful memory and feel so proud of sharing my childhood with friends whenever I have a chance. Currently living in Danang, there are so many choices with seafood, I enjoy walking along the coast and see people purchasing fresh fish here.
There are some local seafood restaurants appearing in mind when thinking of my dinner. I will leave them as my recommendations for some Hive friends who are living in Vietnam may pass Danang one day,
📍Nam Danh: quite difficult to get in small alleys but so good, fresh and cheap.

Các giờ:

📍Ba Ro restaurant: not far from Nam Danh. The best dish for me was grilled shrimp
Address: 115 Lý Tử Tấn, Thọ Quang, Sơn Trà, Đà Nẵng

📍 Be Man restaurant: always good, however, "salty" price (expensive) as their name😅

Time: All day
Plant Based Meals
Never calling myself a vegetarian, however, I enjoy eating veggies every day. I feel so powerful when I bite broccoli or any veggie salads. Probably related to my birth year lol. I am a horse and horse loves grass and vegetables ;)
It's easy to find ingredients and cook at home, however, eating outside is nicer atmosphere and also better present. I will leave some favorite places in Danang below,
Address: Địa chỉ: 01 An Thượng 32, Bắc Mỹ Phú, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Đà Nẵng Openning Time: 9:00 - 22:45
This is typical Vietnamese vegetarian, we cook and divide in portions then share together. On weekends, my friends and I often choose such a family-style to eat together. You can find the location below, I think they still have two locations.
Bep Hen

KURUMI - Healthy Vegan Desserts & Food

Openning Time: 9:00 - 22:00
BBQ
It sounds very hot to make BBQ at home in the summertime, however, there are many BBQ places in town, and having BBQ suits well to family or friends' reunion. Personally, I prefer a bit private style, like book a villa with a garden or rooftop of an apartment or a hotel. We just need to search online a bit, actually, it's not expensive here (from 50 USD, you have your own space). Last year we made it at Danang Boutique Hotel, which was a shared space with others but still ensured we had our own corner. They sold a package of grilled food together with a drink at 150k -200k VND (around 7 - 10 USD), plus a free used swimming pool. It's cool to hang out with friends and family right?
There are many places to hang out and have fun with friends and family, especially after covid lockdown. It depends on how you want to celebrate that day. I hope you get some ideas from my post and have fun with your beloved ones.
