From her first impressions to dealing with the country’s complex history, to navigating daily life, Adrie’s journey sheds light on what it’s really like to live here as an expat.
Hey there! Welcome to a special blog post inspired by my first-ever AMA (Ask Me Anything) episode of A Vietnam Podcast.
It was great to catch up with Mischa as he shared his journey from helping build Pasteur Street Brewing Company into Vietnam’s leading craft beer brand to his new role at East West Brewing Company.
It’s Niall again, and joining me in this episode is my wife, Adrie. We headed for brunch in Thao Dien to try the Oriental Snapper as recommended by Mischa Smith!
I had a chance to talk with the Manager there, and we shared our thoughts about Cocktails as well as the development of the F&&B Industry in the last few years.
While we’ve been living in the city for years, this was a chance to experience Saigon from a completely new perspective.
It was a great experience when we had a chance to immerse ourselves in the city night vibes, and recall how much this city has changed since we moved here.
In this episode, Mischa Smith and I went on a tour of Saigon’s best spots for the classic hangover cure cocktail…. the Bloody Mary. Whether you’re in for a lazy brunch or a classic cocktail experience, these insights will guide you through the top spots offering the best Bloody Marys in Saigon.
In the episode, my friend Thinh and I tried Banh Beo together. We talked about how diverse it is between different regions.
In this episode, I welcomed a very special guest, who hadn’t been on the podcast since season 3 – my wife Adrie Lopez Mackay. During the talk, we recalled the memories of how we overcame challenges during the Pandemic, both in our work and life.
