evening.
evening.
Five friends. One table on the water. The Sườn Bò Vị Phở arrived like a ceremony — a dino-bone short rib slow-cooked in star anise and pho spice until the meat gave without asking. The Hội An Room held the night the way Vietnam holds its stories: warm, layered, and worth staying for. Someone ordered twelve oysters. Someone else ordered the Bánh Flan. The candle came out and nobody looked at their phones.
