The Holiday Spirit is in the Air and on the Plates at Hôtel des Arts Saigon

Gingerbread houses, those delicious-looking cookie constructions are an unmistakable sign that the holiday season has arrived. While they originated in Germany hundreds of years ago independent of Christmas, they are now so associated with the season of Noel that homes, bakeries, hotels, and malls worldwide look forward to crafting one. The bakery team at Hôtel des Arts Saigon, Mgallery has taken the tradition up a notch this year and handmade a stunning recreation of the city’s famed Notre-Dame Cathedral. Completely edible, including the transparent sugar windows, it’s so impressive that it will help you forget the real version just down the road remains perpetually behind scaffolding.

The Nocturnal Thrill of Capturing Vietnam's Elegant Fauna in Wildlife Photography

For most people, walking in the jungle at night would sound like a bad idea. A lack of knowledge and many misbeliefs, unfortunately, create bad assumptions about the wilderness after dark. And snakes, species that seem to be conjured by our nightmares, only reveal themselves when the sun is on the other side of the planet.

Miss Thu: A Culinary Blending of Saigon with the World

It's a story-led restaurant. Born in Saigon sometime in the late 1970s, Miss Thu had a pleasant childhood scampering around an apartment block with her friends, sitting on the back of her parent’s vintage motorbike for rides to and from school and savoring simple street food alongside home-cooked meals. She was privileged to go abroad. She explored foreign arts, cultures, and cuisines from around the world before returning to Saigon.

The Mekong Delta Loses Sand Too Fast Due to Extraction, It's Time for a Sand Budget.

Many people will be familiar with the dread when your income no longer covers your expenses; when you’ve exhausted your savings and are sinking ever deeper into debt. In the Mekong Delta, a similar downward spiral is happening. But it’s not the delta’s finances that are draining away — it’s the sand that sustains it. Not its economic stability that is being undermined, but its very foundations.
