I suggested to a younger colleague that we go out for a light meal. Suddenly, I remembered there&#039;s a restaurant near the office, on Bau Cat street, that sells authentic Da Nang cuisine. I&#039;d been there a few times before, and the food was delicious and the taste was great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"937\" src=\"https:\/\/minhphan.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-28-1024x937.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minhphan.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-28-1024x937.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minhphan.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-28-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minhphan.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-28-768x703.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minhphan.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-28-1536x1406.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/minhphan.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-28-13x12.jpg 13w, https:\/\/minhphan.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-28.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time I go there, the owner sets up a few small tables on the sidewalk. Sitting there eating, watching the cars go by, feeling the cool breeze, and experiencing something very down-to-earth, very Saigon. Today, when I returned, the restaurant was much tidier; there wasn&#039;t a single table left on the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked casually, &quot;Hey, aren&#039;t you going to put the tables outside for some fresh air today?&quot;\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shop owner chuckled softly, his voice sounding a little tired: &quot;We&#039;re clearing the sidewalks, you know. If we don&#039;t, we&#039;ll get fined. And if we get fined, it&#039;s like we&#039;re working for free.&quot;\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing that, I suddenly felt a lump in my throat. Not because the meal had to be eaten indoors, but because the familiar feeling of eating on the sidewalk had suddenly disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember a previous trip to Hanoi where I visited a famous street known for its rolled pho. My friend said it used to be very crowded, with tables full every night. But that day, walking along the entire street, it was unusually deserted. When I asked the staff, they explained that they no longer allow outdoor seating; everyone has to sit inside. Regular customers who usually sit on the sidewalk can&#039;t stand the stuffy atmosphere inside, so they&#039;ve been coming less and less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#039;m not telling these stories to complain or blame anyone. Management is necessary. But for many people, the sidewalk is more than just a place to set up a table and sell a few dishes. It&#039;s their livelihood, their life, the source of support for their entire family behind that small stall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sidewalks are also a part of the city&#039;s memory. They&#039;re places where people eat while watching the street, where vendors sell their goods while observing the flow of people passing by. A small, very real economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, instead of campaigns that come and go, there will be more long-term, clear approaches so that vendors know how to adapt and stay afloat. So they don&#039;t have to worry every night, wondering if they&#039;ll still be able to sell in their usual spot tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a somber evening, when those in the food and beverage business were struggling with a multitude of challenges: a difficult economy, rents that weren&#039;t decreasing but actually increasing, rising raw material prices, uncertainty about taxes, and constant changes in the environment\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep persevering, you struggling to make a living in this glamorous city.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chi\u1ec1u mu\u1ed9n, sau m\u1ed9t ng\u00e0y di chuy\u1ec3n nhi\u1ec1u n\u00ean kh\u00e1 m\u1ec7t, m\u00ecnh ng\u1ed3i n\u1ea5n n\u00e1 l\u1ea1i v\u0103n ph\u00f2ng ch\u01b0a mu\u1ed1n v\u1ec1, r\u1ed3i r\u1ee7 c\u1eadu em trong c\u00f4ng ty \u0111i \u0103n cho nh\u1eb9 \u0111\u1ea7u.
