Trying out my new #whitenightswatercolors and a new approach omitting ink entirely. This softer feel is also interesting - bit of a dreamier air to it and had fun using the rigger for the outlines 👌 The purple shadows looked too dark when laid down but dried up quite delicately - also I mixed the wrong colors 😂. They always say not to be afraid of the darks (still am!) so still learning the ropes on that.

One of the most famous Instagrammed cafes in #Quan2 🌸
.

The interior of the cafe is very much like a cafe in France (not that I’ve been to France! 😬😅). It’s decked with flowers inside and outside of the cafe. Sadly, many are fake flowers while some are dried ones. Each corner certainly is “Instagram worthy.” They have two floors; first floor is air conditioned, but the second floor is a bit hot. Their coffee menu wasn’t that broad; on the plus side, they serve a few Vietnamese dishes and pastries. Prices for drinks range from 50k-95k. When I visited, there were a couple of friends chatting. I’d say it’s a nice place for catching up as it gives a bit of an intimate vibe. Towards the late afternoon, they bring out a few tables and chairs outside too perfect for watching the changing of colors as the sun sets. Cute isn’t always a term to describe cafes, but this one surely is ☺️

coffee & color kind of day 🎨 ☕️

This cafe sits in the middle of a residential area. They don’t have a big sign outside, so keep your eyes peeled for a small tarp with the name of the cafe. The cafe is quite small, but has two floors. The first floor is where the kitchen/bar is where they make simple desserts like cheesecakes and cookies. Their drinks menu has variety as well but I opted for an iced americano, my go-to. Aside from drinking coffee, you can also unleash your inner Van Gogh as this is also a ‘paint cafe’; price depends on the size of the canvas you choose. I got the smallest one and painted for about three hours, so I paid 65k. You pay additional fees if you are to use more colors or spend more time painting, which is still very affordable (about 10-20k). I went there at about 10:30 in the morning, as soon as they opened 😅, and I was the only one there. It was the perfect ‘me-time’ activity. Now I know where to celebrate my next birthday! 😊

Put another shrimp on the barbie? They bloody wouldn't fit 😄

These big arse prawns from Côn Đảo Market can be taken across the street once you've haggled the price down, to have old mate at Quan Ngoc Bich 610 cook them up for you 😉

Highly recommend you give it a try when in Côn Đảo 💯
