I made a day trip to Hoi An to pick up some garments. I have a go-to vegetarian spot that unfortunately was closed on Tuesday.
Given that I'm a creature of habit, I found myself with a daunting task of finding a new eatery. As you know using Google Maps in Hoi An can be difficult when so many places have high ratings and captivating pictures. Before you know you're dealing with a paradox of choice.

Signature long drinks and mojitos are refreshing and full of local herbs, that give them a touch of asian feeling. But I have preferred the signature mixtures with triple sec among the ingredients, as they had both the asian feeling along with a strong classic footprint.
