Hello ASEAN Buddies...

Nowadays, the cafe business trend isn't just happening in big cities; in small towns like my hometown, the cafe business has also found its footing. This is evident in the numerous cafes popping up everywhere. While the concept of the cafe in my hometown doesn't live up to its name, offering delicious coffee, it's still a cafe.

While I was in my hometown, I stopped by a coffee shop that had a cozy space for working. At the time, the power went out at home, so I had to evacuate to keep my laptop running. I went there and found the cafe's interior to be very minimalist.
Rooftop

The cafe in my hometown shares the same architectural specifics—a rooftop. However, because it's so hot during the day, the rooftop area isn't open yet. People usually sit here when it's dark.

I find the rooftop area very aesthetically pleasing, with all aspects sharing the same color palette—grey and black. I really like the pebble-covered floor. Plants to the left and right keep it fresh.

Indoor Area

Not unlike the rooftop, this indoor area also features a minimalist interior, combining three colors—white, gray, and black for some of the furniture. At first glance, the layout of this indoor area closely resembles the living room of a typical home.

Uniquely, there's an area lit by natural light—I don't know what it's called, but it's clear that this area eliminates the need for lights. This is a way to save money.


This cafe has a wide variety of menus, not just coffee, but also traditional dishes such as fried rice are also available. There are also Western and Japanese menus sold at very affordable prices. You know, when I arrived there, there were already several families stopping by just for a short recreation.

When I went there, I ordered a bowl of boiled noodles. It's a dish I've been really missing lately. So when I'm not in the mood for a heavy meal, I opt for noodles, even though that's a heavy meal too. I also ordered palm sugar coffee, but I forgot to take a photo of it.


But unfortunately, this indoor area is not smoke-free. It's a shame when bringing a baby, smokers without humanitarian values can smoke freely there. When I asked the staff, it seems they don't have a rule no smoking in the indoor area. It's a shame that a cafe as aesthetic as this is but not healthy for everyone.
Hasta La vista…

Hi, Halo, Annyeong! Welcome to my galaxy.
I have so much imagination in my head. Something that I can't achieve as a human and as a girl. So writing is very challenging. Since Junior High School, I have written whatever I want to write. Without skill, I just write what I want to read. Now I have 12th published novels and all of those are romance.
Yeah, I proudly say that I am a passionate author, traveler wannabe, and blogger.
