Laika Cafe - The place where I enjoy delicious milk tea

Hello Cinnamon Cup Coffee community😄
I went back and continued writing about the cafe I visited today. How are you ?
Hive price is falling because BTC is down to 38,000 USD, maybe we all see that our reward is decreasing. Every year the Chinese New Year comes, the price of BTC and alt coins are down, and this year too. In our country, every time the price of coins falls, Cryptocurrency players often say jokingly: "This Lunar New Year, there is no Chung Cake with meat filling."- Banh Chung is a traditional cake of Vietnamese people on the Lunar New Year, this is a cake made from glutinous rice filled with meat and green beans, wrapped by banana leaves. That saying means: when BTC and coins are down, there is no money to buy meat, it's a sad and deprived Lunar New Year.
Recently, in Vietnam there was a 20 year old guy who committed suicide because he used all his money to buy some coin and it reduced his wealth 100 times. And more sadly he sold his parents' land and house just to buy them. And now he's dead and his parents are saddled with a huge debt. It's a lesson for us, we should only play crypto with idle money, which means it can't hurt you if you lose that amount. Hive is really good platform, we can stay here to create, write something and still get rewards.

Even though I'm sad about the reduced Hive price, I still have to go to the cafe restaurant to buy a cup of milk tea. I swore many times that I would never drink bubble tea again. I have set up a healthy diet for me, I only drink fruit juices, water and unsweetened milk, stay away from carbonated drinks or sweet drinks with a lot of sugar. I am afraid of diabetes and obesity, modern young people mostly suffer from these diseases because of their habit of eating fast food and drinking sweet drinks. But I can't do it, milk tea has always been an addiction for me, I can't give it up :( Hmm, there's a certain magic that made me go into this milk tea shop and buy a cup of black sugar pearl cream cheese tea.

This milk tea shop is called Laika and has a modern decor. Due to the covid-19 epidemic, this restaurant only sells takeaway drinks. A cup of milk tea that I'm holding in my hand costs 50,000 VND (about 2.3 dollars). This milk tea restaurant is located in the center of Hanoi city, so the price of milk tea is also more expensive than the milk tea restaurants where I live (in the suburbs of the city). A cup of milk tea I'm holding in my hand costs 50,000 VND, about 2.3 dollars. This is black tea, the traditional Vietnamese tea, they are brewed in boiling water for about 20 minutes. Tea is served with black sugar pearls and cream cheese. I am addicted to the feeling of chewing on these sweet and soft tapioca balls, they are made from tapioca and soaked in black sugar syrup. Cream cheese is a mixture of whipping cream, cheese, salt, fresh milk & condensed milk. The drink of this restaurant is not sweet, it just suits my taste.For this type of milk tea you need to stir well before drinking.

The service I received was so amazing and I will definitely be back again. The staff of this cafe restaurant is very enthusiastic, they turned on the light for me when they knew I was taking pictures of their restaurant. They made me feel welcomed and gave me great experience.

This is Chung cake - the kind of cake I mentioned above but it's just a model, this red flower is often decorated by many families on Tet holiday (lunar new year).

Hello @a-alice, you've presented this pose with such a twist; Background info on your traditions and also recent news of crypto in your country.
Though it might not be all positive, it's interesting to hear.

"This Lunar New Year, there is no Chung Cake with meat filling."

I hope you all get to celebrate this time special time of year positivitely.
Thanks for stopping by:)

Hey @a-alice, the NY has been good so far :)
There is no emphasis on the Lunar NY here in the UK, but when I lived in the Philippines, it was massive, and the busiest season for tourism.
Have a nice day:)

Yes, for sure.
There are other big celebrations like Divali, and yes, I'd think that in pre-Covid times, there would have been big Lunar celebrations too, since UK is so multi-cultured!

Hi there @a-alice, I was talking to my friend about bitcoin and even the stock market is down too in the US, he lost a good amount of money today which is sad but that's how we gamble right? We have to take some risks and the bitcoin and the stock market is one of the places that are risky so it is in our best interest to be wise in gambling our investment.

Btw, the coffee shop's interior is really great. If we have it here I could stay for hours just drinking my coffee with a piece of great music in the background and do some work on the computer.

Cheers to all coffee lovers! 😘

Hoping this is just temporary and will get back soon.

i am also investing 3-4 other cryptocurrencies and now it is dropping 2-3 times, and i bought it a few days before it dropped and it continues to drop more, it's a lunar new year sad, only 10 days left to the lunar new year 😔

I believe it will go up, have faith.
That's the risk we take when we want a good outcome but of course, challenges arise and market values are unpredictable at times, believe me, it will go up again. Cheer up girl

Hopefully it's a shark trap that scares us and makes us sell, I'm determined not to sell it at a low price LOL :D
