Here’s another illustration inspired by my cousin Susannah Anak Rogo Sitai Liew’s recent trip to Vietnam, which sparked a new creative challenge for me.
One of the places she visited was Đề-Pô Cafe, a charming spot perfect for working, relaxing, or enjoying soft music with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The cafe’s cool atmosphere and calming music create the ideal environment to spark new ideas, focus on your tasks, and, most importantly, fully enjoy your day.
My cousin’s recent trip to Vietnam sparked a new creative challenge for me. Inspired by her experiences, I decided to experiment with a different drawing style to capture her adventures. While she gets to travel far more often than I do, this felt like the perfect opportunity to try something new and explore my creativity in a fresh way.
Susannah Anak Rogo Sitai Liew, my cousin, is not just a mother and artist but also an enthusiastic cultural explorer. So, it was no surprise when she stumbled upon a hidden gem in Vietnam called May Kitchenware & Coffee Shop. This spot is a dream for anyone who loves ceramics, enjoys browsing kitchen utensils, and wants to sip coffee in a space with an industrial interior design.
The shop is spacious, filled with greenery, and has a warm, cozy vibe despite its industrial aesthetic. On hotter days, you can retreat to the upstairs air-conditioned area, which offers plenty of picturesque corners perfect for relaxing or snapping photos.
