I ❤️ Da Nang Vietnam 2025 - Day 8 - Moss Coffee Shop - 07/31/2025


Day 8: Da Nang Travel Diary: Diary Moss Coffee Shop and the Quest for the Perfect Egg Coffee

Okay, so Day 8 in Da Nang started with a major win! We asked the hotel if we could switch Badet and Mader Earth's room (which was booked until tomorrow) with my bigger deluxe room (since I had to check out). And guess what? The hotel staff said YES instantly! Seriously, this hotel is amazing. Highly commendable service!


After that glorious nap after the breakfast buffet (we were still stuffed!), Badet (the ultimate foodie) was craving an authentic Vietnamese coffee to cleanse her palate. She wasn't totally sold on the egg coffee we tried on Day 3. And since we had no plans for the day, we decided chilling in the hotel room would be a waste of precious Da Nang time.


Despite the scorching heat, we braved the weather and headed to Moss Coffee Shop, a cafe she found with rave reviews.
Moss Coffee Shop: A Review
Moss Coffee Shop is a total vibe. It's got this really aesthetic, laid-back atmosphere. The menu has a great variety of drinks and snacks. Plus, the location is pretty central and easy to get to.


We booked a Grab, and after about 20 minutes, we arrived. The cafe has this cool open-air concept as you enter. The staff was super friendly and immediately offered us a seat, suggesting we check out the air-conditioned room on the 2nd floor. Since it was a weekend, there were a few other customers, but it wasn't crowded at all.
The staff was incredibly polite. We ordered upfront, and of course, Badet had to get the Egg Coffee (Ca Phe Trung). Priced at 60k VND (around ₱130 PHP), it's not just a drink – it's an experience!


The Egg Coffee Ritual
Okay, so egg coffee is basically a Vietnamese coffee with a frothy egg yolk topping. It sounds weird, but trust me, it's delicious! What's unique about Moss Coffee's egg coffee is the presentation and the ritual.
The staff showed us how to properly enjoy the coffee. First, they lit a small candle and placed the coffee on top to heat it for about two minutes. This warms up the egg yolk and intensifies the flavors. Then, you slowly sip the coffee through the warm, creamy egg topping.


The staff also brought us complimentary ice tea and kept refilling our glasses. We were the only customers in the air-conditioned room on the 2nd floor (which also had a toilet – bonus!), so we had plenty of time to relax, take pictures, and make videos.


The Verdict
The egg coffee at Moss Coffee Shop is the real deal. It's borderline a drink and a dessert. The coffee is rich and strong, perfectly balanced by the sweet and creamy egg yolk. The artistry, the ritual, the aesthetic cafe, and the super-duper polite staff make that 60k VND (₱130 PHP) price tag totally worth it. Seriously, I wanted to grab the CEO of Starbucks and introduce him to this place. Just kidding… maybe.



If you're in Da Nang and looking for an authentic and unique coffee experience, Moss Coffee Shop is a must-visit!
Location: Da Nang, Vietnam

Day 1 - NAIA terminal 3 - Trapped in Manila's Monsoon Mayhem: A Race Against the Rain to Catch My Flight   Manila had been a soggy mess all week. Rain, relentless and torrential, had transformed the city into a watery labyrinth. It was the kind of downpour that made you question your life choices, especially the decision to book a flight to Vietnam during monsoon season. An orange alert, a constant digital companion on my phone, served as a grim reminder of the flooding chaos engulfing the city. News reports of cancelled flights, including one to North Vietnam earlier that day, fueled my growing anxiety.   My 8 pm flight to Da Nang loomed, a source of both excitement and palpable dread. Mader and Badet’s earlier flight had successfully braved a typhoon in the Philippine West Sea, their tales of gloomy Vietnamese weather offering a bittersweet comfort. Despite their experience, the uncertainty gnawed at me. The weight of a looming Thursday deadline at 4 pm ad...

I ❤️ Tokyo 2025 - Day 2 - Disneyland - Eastside Cafe - 03/10/2025

Tokyo Disneyland: A Delicious Detour to Eastside Cafe – March 10, 2025   Post-parade, our stomachs were rumbling louder than any rollercoaster. We were starving! The problem? Disneyland was packed, and every restaurant had a wait time that rivaled the lines for Space Mountain. But our resourceful Ate and Kuya remembered a hidden gem near the entrance: Eastside Cafe.   This table-service restaurant, tucked away in World Bazaar, promised a welcome respite from the park's frenetic energy. World Bazaar, with its early 20th-century Victorian theming, is already a feast for the eyes, and Eastside Cafe perfectly complements the atmosphere. It's like stepping into a charming Italian trattoria, complete with rich wood paneling, antique-style furnishings, and gorgeous murals depicting Italian landscapes. Even the frosted glass partitions added to the cozy, intimate feel.   Despite the crowds, the line at Eastside Cafe was surprisingly manageable. We sig...

Tiki Room Adventure: A Surprisingly Fun Disney Break!   Okay, so picture this: we're buzzing from all the Disney magic, ready to tackle some rides. But hold up! The app shows hour-long waits for everything popular. We're not about that life. We need a strategic break, a Disney pit stop if you will.   That's where the Enchanted Tiki Room: Stitch Presents "Aloha E KOMO Mai!" swooped in to save the day. Only a 15-minute wait? Sold! The Adventureland location was a bonus – a little escape from the main hustle. The waiting area was surprisingly spacious, with plenty of seats. They even offered translation devices for non-English speakers – seriously impressed!   Stepping into the Tiki Room felt like entering a mini-theater. No photos or videos allowed (bummer, but understandable), so we just soaked it all in. The show itself? A whole lot of colorful robotic birds singing and doing their thing. Honestly, I kinda dozed off a bit. It...
