It has been such a long while
since I last had the mood to write review on those amazing coffee shops I’ve
been to. I first started all this blogging 2 years ago, then the hectic life
out there has become my constant excuse to slip away from a hobby which I
always want to pursue.
Anyway, here I am, hitting RESUME
on the play of my blogging.
Last week, I got a chance to meet
up with my high school friend and my younger mate in college. The location my
friend chose was ‘Le petit Jardin’. The name itself is quite intriguing to me,
as to my humble knowledge about French, it means ‘A small garden’, I guess,
which automatically paints an interesting mental figure in me.
Located on Hoa Mai street, Phan
Xich Long area, Phu Nhuan district, one of the most bustling corners of HCMC,
Le Petit Jardin has its own advantages when settled in this popular spot for
culinary geeks. Directions to the shop is not an issue. Being surrounded by
Popeyes, Doughnuts and neighbored to other well-known restaurants such as Thai
Express or Tokyo Deli, just to name a few, has given Le Petit Jardin high
credits, in terms of location.
It is a two-floor coffee shop.
Downstairs, there are two sections, on the right it looks like a small garden
with several kinds of plants and flowers while on the left it brings a kind of
comfy feeling with those couches.
Upstairs, the interior decoration
looks like an old house, with wooden windows painted in different colors
display a sense of nostalgia, like back in the early 20th century, I
think :)

The
another part of the room is covered with butterfly wallpaper, while at the
corner, it was highlighted with various shapes of fan’s blades. I indulged myself
in the moment of freedom just as I stood by the wall, inhaling the relaxing air
those accessories were blowing towards me.

The menu is interesting. What I
love about this place is that they have their own options of tea (which is
pretty much the same at most of the other places, with the choices of lipton
tea/ Earl Gray/ Dilma tea only.) I got to try Hibicus tea, and they came in a
set of a few pieces of biscuits, together with ginger jam. Believe me, it tastes sweet, and looks sweetly beautiful, and only cost fifty-ish VND.
