Food and drinks defined by a quirkiness

Whimsical: Ham Hanh's decor is deliberately unconventional.

An offbeat cafe stays true to the Onion Cellar's alternative culture vision with a bizarre cocktail menu and culinary experiments that do not disappoint a discerning palate. Elisabeth Rosen tucks in.

Walking into the converted teahouse on Doi Can Street, you feel like you've stumbled across a playground for adults. Colourful cushions litter the floor; a semi-open courtyard is set with neon folding chairs, at least half of which are mounted on the wall as decoration. One customer sips a mountain of lemon-hued ice, while another naps beside a stack of notebooks.

The Ham Hanh or Onion Cellar, an alternative culture collective that organizes events like concerts and film screenings, now has its own cafe. In keeping with the Onion Cellar aesthetic, the decor is offbeat and improvised: co-owners Mathias Rossignol and Vu Hong Linh set up everything in a month, combining objects from secondhand shops with furniture Rossignol built. The whimsical colour scheme started with the ceiling fans, which came a pallid green but are now a vibrant lavender. It ended up extending to everything, from the vintage wooden chairs to the car tires that support floor-level tables.

Unlike many cafes in Ha Noi, which lure clientele seeking a luxurious atmosphere, the Onion Cellar welcomes those on an artist's budget. As at Onion Cellar events, students get a 10 per cent discount. The high-speed internet connection is another enticement, and also makes it possible to organise Skype Q&As after future film screenings.

Improvised: The ‘bread pizza' is actually grilled cheese sprawled over hearty slabs of cereal bread.

The bar offers one of the most inventive cocktail menus in the capital. Drinks inspired by literature and music verge from quirky to downright bizarre. This is the only cafe in Ha Noi - and possibly in the world - where you can get a drink called "The Smell of Today is Sweet Like Breastmilk in the Wind" (VND80,000). Those with more conservative palates can sip "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (VND80,000), a take on Hemingway's favoured mojito with mint leaves, kumquat and pineapple, or "The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship" (VND80,000), which features jasmine flower tea, gin and grenadine in a nod to the setting of Casablanca.

The food, rest assured, is less experimental. Rossignol and Linh, who have no formal training in cooking, have cobbled together a menu of simple, loosely French-inspired fare. Like the decor, the food is a work of improvisation: at times inspired, at times slightly lacking finesse.

Dishes to try: Onion soup, Ha Noi brasserie plate, bread pizza

Comment: Quirky cafe from The Onion Cellar culture collective

Many of the best dishes involve the eponymous bulb. French onion soup (VND7,000 for a small bowl, VND60,000 for a large bowl with cheese and toast) is spectacular, a rich, complex broth that results from hours of caramelisation. Onion lends flavour to the creamy mashed potatoes on the Ha Noi brasserie plate (VND100,000), which also includes bread, onion soup and thin slices of jambonneau from a local butcher. There's even an onion cocktail, "A Round, Human Tear" (VND100,000), a cheeky reference to the Gunter Grass novel that inspired The Onion Cellar's name. Balanced with rum, honey and lemongrass, the caramelised onion disguises itself surprisingly well, adding a subtle touch of sweetness whose provenance a blindfolded taster might never guess.

The "bread pizza" (VND50,000-80,000) is also worth trying, although it's less a pizza than a grilled cheese sprawled over hearty slabs of cereal bread, marbled with zucchini and tomato and bits of pineapple. There's an endearingly homemade quality to this food: you feel like you're in the kitchen of a slightly eccentric relative whose idea of an exciting Saturday afternoon is experimenting with hummus and marjoram pesto.

An experiment: Pasta with marjoram pesto is served with a salad that is more of a garnish-cherry tomatoes on top of lettuce and diced cucumber.

Luckily, those culinary experiments are generally successful. The creamy hummus comes with fresh pita from a local supplier (VND35,000); that marjoram pesto makes an assertive sauce for fusilli and jambonneau (VND80,000). Occasionally they feel more amateur. The cocktail salad (VND70,000) is a colourful heap of fresh ingredients - mango, purple cabbage, shrimp, avocado - but they're drowned in so much mayonnaise you can barely tell what they are. And while many dishes are advertised as coming with salad, what you get is more a garnish: a few cherry tomatoes on top of a lettuce leaf, a scattering of diced cucumber. Still, as The Onion Cellar proves with its experimental programming, the concept is what really matters. — VNS

163417

Tour operator Oxalis on June 25 launched trekking tours of Tu Lan cave system in the central province of Quang Binh, with offers of up to four days for adventure lovers. 

Discovered in 2009, Tu Lan now consists of eight caves, and still counting more, either wet, dry, small or big-scale, lying 70km northwest of the town of Phong Nha, near Vietnam’s border with Laos. 

It spreads through four valleys covered with pristine forests and unnamed rivers. There are many magnificent stalagmites and stalactites inside the caves, together with splendid waterfalls and underground rivers making Tu Lan a unique spot for both sightseeing for adventure. 

Trekkers will be accompanied by English-speaking tour guides and local jungle men who will take them to untouched caves, then cross shallow rivers and trek 5km through dense jungle rich with butterflies and birdlife. 

A highlight during the tour is the time spent at a campsite, listening to the sounds of waterfall and night critters, and hearing some interesting stories about the local ethnic people. 

As safety is absolutely paramount on all trips, they will be equipped with helmets, life jackets, headlights, hammocks, sleeping bags, trekking boots, among others. 

Nature has bestowed a diversity of natural landscapes on Quang Binh with plains, mountains, lakes and caves. It is well-known for various natural attractions, especially the ‘Kingdom of Caves’, a complex of over 300 caves, found in the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, which was recognised as a World Natural Heritage Site by the UNESCO last year. 

Most recently, the New York Times named Quang Binh as one of the most attractive destinations in Asia and eighth out of the world’s 52 top tourist destinations for 2014.

HCM City antique collector holds charity auction

A man in HCM City who has acquired a unique collection of antiques, estimated at tens of millions of USD plans to sell them and give the profit to fishermen and disadvantaged children.

 

“King of Antiques”

Hoang Van Cuong, owner of an antique shop on Le Hong Kieu Street in District 1, has been nicknamed “King of Anitques” by his neigbours.

Cuong has been looking for support from relevant authorities to organise an auction, for which the proceeds would go to charity.

“I intend to donate 70% of the proceeds to poor fishermen who have been contributing to the protection of our national waters. The rest would be used to support disadvantaged children, including some of my own relatives and maintain a family alter,” said Cuong. The statement is also written in his last will and testament.

His antiques are estimated to be valued at a combined USD70 million, according to Asia Life Magazine.

 

Unique collection

The most prominent item up for sale is a large wooden bed that is over 300 years old. It was imported from China by a mandarin. The woodwork is ornate and meticulous, and he has already had offers of as high as USD2 million, but he has always refused to sell it.

Other special antiques include nine royal beds belonging to Vietnamese royalty.

His collection also includes old pottery, royal decrees and lamps, along with 25 Japanese guns dating back to 1600.

Fix for “GPS Provider Disabled” using Apache Cordova on Android

The Problem

I recently ran into the issue of “GPS Provider Disabled” when using Apache Cordova on Android. After reading many threads, the fix seemed to always be to set the permissions in config.xml with the following code:

1."org.apache.cordova.geolocation" />

After doing that, you would need to check Settings –> Location and make sure it is on.

If it didn’t work after that, well you were pretty much on your own…

The Resolution

After digging I found that if I include enableHighAccuracy to false, then it would use Assisted GPS rather than satellite positioning. Sure, the results may not be as high as you would like but it is better than an ugly dialog box saying “GPS Provider Disabled”.

Here is a full sample:

01.

17.function onDeviceReady()
18.// Changed this from true to false to prevent dialog popup on Android devices.
19.var options = enableHighAccuracy: false ;

I hope that helps anyone out there that is having problems with this!
