Walked 10 mi around Westlake while stopping at different temples and coffee shops. I’ve never seen soooo many coffee shops in my life. The entire 10 mi radius is literally lined up with coffee shops wall-to-wall.
We stopped at a couple of temples, first Quang An, which had people burining insense. There were a lot of shops selling fruit and other merch for sacrifice. As well as many cafes for the worshippers to enjoy. Which we promptly did trying fried shrimp in dough, Bun Oc with snails (rice noodles in a sweet, sour, and clear broth with crunchy snails. The dish was served with herbs: perilla, mint, bean sprouts, letuce) and french fries, because #Daniel. All dishes were delicious.
My favourite temple was Chua Pho Linh. There was surprisingly nobody there and we enjoyed the serenity of the place.
