Bạn bè mình đi ăn quán này khá nhiều, mình bị ấn tượng bởi mấy cái clip bốc khói nghi ngút lúc nhân viên bưng cái lẩu ra. Cuối cùng cầm lòng không đặng, rủ rê vợ chồng người bạn đi ăn chung để xem màn khói mây ngập trời này xem thế nào.
Địa chỉ:
28 Phạm Hồng Thái, P. Bến Thành, Quận 1, TP. HCM
Sau đây là 1 vài đánh giá của tụi mình:
Không gian: nhìn sang, làm mấy vách ngăn sơn son thếp vàng như trong cung điện vậy. Quán trang bị 1 đôi đũa gỗ nhìn đơn sơ, dài ngoằng để gắp đồ nhúng lẩu, 1 đôi đẹp đẽ hơn để ăn. Điểm vô duyên nhất xuất hiện trong không gian này là “âm nhạc”, nhạc quán mở không có liên quan gì đến khung cảnh, món ăn, mà còn dở nữa. Quán Hoa đi bật nhạc Âu Mỹ, mà phải chi mấy bài hay hoặc nổi tiếng thì không nói, mấy loại nhạc sàn, nhạc tập gym xập xình, không phải hot trend, nghe không cảm được luôn.
Phục vụ:
Quán này có tính phí phục vụ nên mình mặc định nhân viên quán phải phục vụ tốt. Mình đi ăn ngày lễ nên nhận thấy kỹ năng phục vụ giữa mấy bạn không đều, có lẽ thiếu nhân viên, quán thuê thêm nhân viên thời vụ. Một số bạn hơi bị lóng ngóng, không quen việc lắm, chủ yếu bạn nhận order, chịu trách nhiệm chính 1 bàn là có kiến thức vững, nắm thông tin về các món ăn tốt.
Thực đơn:
Một quyển menu to, dày, bự, nặng. Ngoài mấy món nhúng lẩu, còn có thêm sashimi. Mình có ăn thử sashimi bên đây, sẽ review bên dưới.
Thức uống:
Đồ uống ở đây cũng đa dạng ah, có cả cocktail, mocktail, rượu, nước ép… Tụi mình có gọi thử cả cocktail và mocktail uống thử.
- Cocktail Hong kong: cái cục tròn tròn giắt bên hông là cục xí muội ah. Ly này lạ miệng, uống khá ngon, ngọt, thơm, không nồng vị cồn. Liếm miếng xí muội rồi nhấp chút cocktail, cách uống này giống cách uống tequila.
- Mocktail Pink Lady: có siro trái cây (mình không nhớ trái cây gì), lá bạc hà và vải. Ly đá nặng trịch, làm hình mặt nạ ngộ ngộ, ly này pha uống cũng được, không thật sự ngon, nhưng cũng không dở.
Cocktail Hongkong – 118k 
Mocktail Pink Lady – 68k
Món ăn:
Lúc đầu gọi món tụi mình cứ sợ không no, nhưng ăn một hồi thì thấy no căng, 2 trong 4 loại nước lẩu cực kỳ ngon và ấn tượng, cứ ăn một hồi lại húp nước lẩu, rất đã, chắc nhờ vậy mà no hồi nào không biết. Thấy hình lá xách trong menu đen đen vậy nên tụi mình gọi, màu đen như vậy mới là màu tự nhiên của nó, những lá xách mà bạn thấy trắng bạch là bị tẩy nhiều lắm rồi đó. Lá xách ngon, dai, giòn. Món này đừng nhúng lâu quá nó teo quắt lại còn có chút xíu à.
Lá xách bò đen – 68k
Nguyên 1 cái khay khổng lồ 11 chén nhỏ này là nguyên liệu để pha chén nước chấm ăn lẩu. Chưa bao giờ mình thấy sự nghiệp pha chén nước chấm vĩ đại đến như vậy :)))). Cứ lấy mỗi thứ một ít từ 9 chén này sẽ tạo thành nước chấm lẩu, bạn thích vị cay/ chua/ mặn nhiều thì thêm nguyên liệu ở chén đó nhiều hơn là được.
Set sashimi tụi mình gọi để ăn thêm bên dưới, gồm có cá hồi và cá trích ép trứng màu xanh. Thường món cá trích ép trứng (nishin) tụi mình đi ăn ở mấy chỗ khác thường là loại màu vàng/ đỏ, phổ biến nhất là vàng. Theo như nhân viên giải thích thì: xanh là ngâm wasabi, vàng là ngâm giấm và đỏ là ngâm gừng nha. Sashimi ở đây khá tươi, miếng dày, bự, cá hồi béo, nói nishin wasabi vậy chứ không hăng và cay gì đâu.
Phần rau nấm bỏ lẩu tụi mình có gọi thêm một số loại nấm như: nấm bào ngư và đùi gà, mấy nấm kia quen thuộc quá rồi, có loại nấm hoàng kim nữa mà nhân viên nói hết nên thôi. Phần rau mình thấy có loại rau cải ngồng và hoa bá vương lạ nên kêu ăn thử cho biết.
Phần chính là nước lẩu, lúc bưng ra nó bốc khói nghi ngút như mình hay thấy trong mấy clip của bạn mình luôn. Khói bốc ra khá lâu, mấy phút ah. Ấn tượng quá! Nó tràn ra cả mấy món đồ ăn dọn sẵn trên bàn luôn, nhìn nguyên cái bàn tưởng đang ở bữa tiệc trên thiên đình :))). Tụi mình đang nghĩ là bốc khói nhờ nitơ nên rờ phía trên nồi lẩu thử coi lạnh không, ai dè vẫn nóng hừng hực nha. Lẩu này gồm 4 ngăn, gọi là lẩu quý phi (Guifei Pot) gồm có lẩu Tứ Xuyên, lẩu xí quách, lẩu gà thảo mộc và lẩu nấm. 2 loại nước lẩu tụi mình thấy ngon nhất là lẩu nấm và lẩu xí quách nha. 4 loại khác biệt như sau:
- Lẩu Tứ Xuyên: vị chính sẽ là cay, the, lẩu này dùng để nhúng đồ ăn rất ngon, húp nước không cay như mình tưởng tượng, nhưng the the, vị được thôi à.
- Lẩu xí quách: lẩu này húp thanh, ngọt ơi là ngọt. Húp vào là thấy sảng khoái cả người, ngon. Nhúng đồ ăn vô lẩu này cũng ngon nha.
- Lẩu gà thảo mộc: vì hầm gà với 1 đống thảo mộc nên vị nó đăng đắng, lúc nhúng mấy món ăn nó cũng làm đồ ăn bị dính vị đắng nhẹ. Mình không thích vị này lắm, khó ăn với mình.
- Lẩu nấm: bạn nào từng ăn lẩu nấm bên Ashima rồi thì sẽ thấy vị bên đây không giống chút nào bên đó nha. Vị lẩu nấm bên đây có phần bọt trắng bên trên giống lớp kem sữa nên làm vị nước lẩu này ngọt, béo, thơm giống món súp kem nấm bên món Tây ah. Nhưng lẩu này húp ngon không kém, lạ miệng. Húp nhiều chắc là cũng ngán ah vì có vị béo, mà loại này dễ gây nghiện, húp hoài à.
Phía dưới là 1 số món bỏ lẩu khác, nghêu thì bình thường rồi, ở đây có ngao 2 cồi nên tụi mình gọi ngao, ăn ngon, ngọt ah. Cá chép giòn và thịt bò cũng ngon nữa. Trong quá trình ăn, các loại nước lẩu sẽ được châm liên tục.
Bắp bò Mỹ – 118k
Giá cả: một trong những chỗ lẩu giá cao nhất ở Sài Gòn mà mình từng thấy. Sau lần đầu tiên này, tụi mình rút kinh nghiệm sẽ kêu lẩu đôi hoặc đơn để tiết kiệm, vì chủ yếu chỉ ăn 2 loại, có kinh nghiệm rồi chắc lần sau đỡ tốn hơn. Chất lượng lẩu thì không chê được, muốn quay lại cũng hơi xót bụng. Thiệt hại: ~3tr652k/ 4 người. Giá trên hình chưa bao gồm 10% VAT và 15% phí phục vụ và 10% phụ phí ngày lễ.
Cảm ơn các bạn đã đọc bài viết. Hẹn gặp các bạn ở bài review tiếp theo.

A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards
kyberswap
Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny, rainforested country.
It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019, Exxon and its partners, US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC, had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650,000 barrels of oil a day, with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027.
Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035.
This country — sandwiched between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush, well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90% of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate.
While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand, and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources, critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world, and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana.
Since Exxon’s transformative discovery, Guyana’s government has tightly embraced oil as a route to prosperity. In December 2019, then-President David Granger said in a speech, “petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all … Every Guyanese will benefit.”
It’s a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure, healthcare and climate adaptation.

Americans Brittany and Blake Bowen had never even been to Ecuador when in 2021 they decided to move to the South American country with their four children.
Tired of “long commutes and never enough money” in the US, the Bowens say they love their new Ecuadorian life. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.”
Erik and Erin Eagleman moved to Switzerland from Wisconsin with their three children in 2023.
“It feels safe here,” they tell CNN of their new outdoorsy lifestyle in Basel, close to the borders with France and Germany. Their youngest daughter even walks to elementary school by herself.

For close to 100 years, Michelin stars have been a sign of culinary excellence, awarded only to the great and good.
Georges Blanc, the world’s longest-standing Michelin-starred restaurant, has boasted a three-star rating since 1981, but this month the Michelin guide announced that the restaurant in eastern France was losing a star.
More culinary reputations were enhanced this week, when Asia’s 50 best restaurants for 2025 were revealed. The winner was a Bangkok restaurant which is no stranger to garlands, while second and third place went to two Hong Kong eateries.
You don’t need to go to a heaving metropolis for excellent food, however. A 200-year-old cottage on a remote stretch of Ireland’s Atlantic coast has been given a Michelin star. At the time of awarding, Michelin called it “surely the most rural” of its newest winners.
Challenging our perceptions of ‘perfection’
[url=https://troderjoexzy.com]traderjoexyz exchange[/url]
With health influencers raising the bar for success, the wellness space now often feels like a performative space where people strive to showcase peak physical and mental strength.
While seeing others’ achievements can be motivating, it can also be discouraging if your progress doesn’t match theirs.
Each person is chasing the perfect version of themselves — whether it’s a body or a lifestyle — which is dangerous because this is typically an impossible or dangerous version to achieve, Curran said. He added that this type of comparison creates a dangerous cycle in which people constantly feel dissatisfied with their own progress.
“It’s a fantasy in many ways, and once you start chasing after it, you constantly find yourself embroiled in a sense of doubt and deficit,” he said.
Curran also noted that wellness challenges can be particularly damaging for women who struggle with perfectionism, as they tend to be bombarded with impossible beauty standards and societal expectations.
Renee McGregor, a UK-based dietitian who specializes in eating disorders and athlete performance, encourages people to approach wellness trends with curiosity and skepticism. That’s because some influencers and celebrities could be promoting products because there’s a financial benefit for them.
“The thing to ask yourself about the person you’re taking advice from is what do they gain from it?” McGregor said. “If they are going to gain financially, then you know that they (could be willing) to sell you a lie.”
Whether you want to try a new challenge or product that promises amazing results, McGregor suggests doing your research and seeking diverse perspectives, including consulting with doctors when possible.
New design revealed for Airbus hydrogen plane
[url=https://v2-renzo.net]renzo protocol[/url]
In travel news this week: Bhutan’s spectacular new airport, the world’s first 3D-printed train station has been built in Japan, plus new designs for Airbus’ zero-emission aircraft and France’s next-generation high-speed trains.
Grand designs
European aerospace giant Airbus has revealed a new design for its upcoming fully electric, hydrogen-powered ZEROe aircraft. powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
The single-aisle plane now has four engines, rather than six, each powered by their own fuel cell stack.
The reworked design comes after the news that the ZEROe will be in our skies later than Airbus hoped.
The plan was to launch a zero-emission aircraft by 2035, but now the next-generation single-aisle aircraft is slated to enter service in the second half of the 2030s.
Over in Asia, the Himalayan country of Bhutan is building a gloriously Zen-like new airport befitting a nation with its very own happiness index.
Gelephu International is designed to serve a brand new “mindfulness city,” planned for southern Bhutan, near its border with India.
In rail travel, Japan has just built the world’s first 3D-printed train station, which took just two and a half hours to construct, according to The Japan Times. That’s even shorter than the whizzy six hours it was projected to take.
France’s high-speed TGV rail service has revealed its next generation of trains, which will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 320 kilometers an hour (nearly 200 mph).
The stylish interiors have been causing a stir online, as has the double-decker dining car.
Finally, work is underway in London on turning a mile-long series of secret World War II tunnels under a tube station into a major new tourist attraction. CNN took a look inside.
Wellness perfectionism doesn’t exist. Focus on these sustainable habits
[url=https://suisiswarp.fi]sushiswap exchange[/url]
ou’re scrolling through your phone when you stumble upon the next viral trend: an influencer claiming that following their incredibly strict diet will help you achieve their jaw-dropping physique. Or you see a fresh-faced runner swearing you can run a marathon without any training — just like they did.
Whether or not you’re actively searching for wellness advice, it’s nearly impossible to avoid hearing about the latest health craze making bold guarantees of transformation.
As you wonder if these claims hold any truth, you might also question why people often feel motivated to dive into intense challenges — when seemingly simple habits, such as getting enough sleep or eating more vegetables, often feel much harder to tackle.
Many of us are drawn to these extreme challenges because we’re craving radical change, hoping it will help prove something to ourselves or to others, experts say.
“We always see these kinds of challenges as opportunities for growth, particularly if we’re in a phase of our life where we’ve let ourselves go,” said Dr. Thomas Curran, associate professor of psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science and an expert on perfectionism. “Maybe we feel that we need to be healthier, or we just had a breakup or (major) life event.”
With social media amplifying these movements, it’s easy to see why people are increasingly drawn to the idea of achieving the “perfect” version of themselves. But before jumping into a new wellness challenge, it’s important to take a moment, reflect on your goals, and consider where you’re starting from.
Water and life
stargate finance
Lightning is a dramatic display of electrical power, but it is also sporadic and unpredictable. Even on a volatile Earth billions of years ago, lightning may have been too infrequent to produce amino acids in quantities sufficient for life — a fact that has cast doubt on such theories in the past, Zare said.
Water spray, however, would have been more common than lightning. A more likely scenario is that mist-generated microlightning constantly zapped amino acids into existence from pools and puddles, where the molecules could accumulate and form more complex molecules, eventually leading to the evolution of life.
“Microdischarges between obviously charged water microdroplets make all the organic molecules observed previously in the Miller-Urey experiment,” Zare said. “We propose that this is a new mechanism for the prebiotic synthesis of molecules that constitute the building blocks of life.”
However, even with the new findings about microlightning, questions remain about life’s origins, he added. While some scientists support the notion of electrically charged beginnings for life’s earliest building blocks, an alternative abiogenesis hypothesis proposes that Earth’s first amino acids were cooked up around hydrothermal vents on the seafloor, produced by a combination of seawater, hydrogen-rich fluids and extreme pressure.
Researchers identified salt minerals in the Bennu samples that were deposited as a result of brine evaporation from the asteroid’s parent body. In particular, they found a number of sodium salts, such as the needles of hydrated sodium carbonate highlighted in purple in this false-colored image – salts that could easily have been compromised if the samples had been exposed to water in Earth’s atmosphere.

Yet another hypothesis suggests that organic molecules didn’t originate on Earth at all. Rather, they formed in space and were carried here by comets or fragments of asteroids, a process known as panspermia.
“We still don’t know the answer to this question,” Zare said. “But I think we’re closer to understanding something more about what could have happened.”
Though the details of life’s origins on Earth may never be fully explained, “this study provides another avenue for the formation of molecules crucial to the origin of life,” Williams said. “Water is a ubiquitous aspect of our world, giving rise to the moniker ‘Blue Marble’ to describe the Earth from space. Perhaps the falling of water, the most crucial element that sustains us, also played a greater role in the origin of life on Earth than we previously recognized.”

Some scientists believe that fatty acids such as decanoic acid and dodecanoic acid formed the membranes of the first simple cell-like structures on Earth, Pearce said.
[url=https://connexf.net]connext network[/url]
“(This is) the closest we’ve come to detecting a major biomolecule-related signal — something potentially tied to membrane structure, which is a key feature of life,” Pearce said via email. “Organics on their own are intriguing, but not evidence of life. In contrast, biomolecules like membranes, amino acids, nucleotides, and sugars are central components of biology as we know it, and finding any of them would be groundbreaking (we haven’t yet).”
Returning samples from Mars
The European Space Agency plans to launch its ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover to the red planet in 2028, and the robotic explorer will carry a complementary instrument to SAM. The rover LS6 will have the capability to drill up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) beneath the Martian surface — and perhaps find larger and better-preserved organic molecules.
While Curiosity’s samples can’t be studied on Earth, the Perseverance rover has actively been collecting samples from Jezero Crater, the site of an ancient lake and river delta, all with the intention of returning them to Earth in the 2030s via a complicated symphony of missions called Mars Sample Return.
Both rovers have detected a variety of organic carbon molecules in different regions on Mars, suggesting that organic carbon is common on the red planet, Williams said.
While Curiosity and Perseverance have proven they can detect organic matter, their instruments can’t definitively determine all the answers about their origins, said Dr. Ashley Murphy, postdoctoral research scientist at the Planetary Science Institute. Murphy, who along with Williams previously studied organics identified by Perseverance, was not involved in the new research.
“To appropriately probe the biosignature question, these samples require high-resolution and high-sensitivity analyses in terrestrial labs, which can be facilitated by the return of these samples to Earth,” Murphy said.

Of course, he said yes to coming back to the series, which eventually required him to live in Italy for a few months for filming.
[url=https://hop-excharge.com]hop exchange[/url]
During production, White revealed to Gries that Greg is “very sinister.” That became rather irrefutable by the season’s climax, which saw Tanya’s demise orchestrated by her now-husband.
Come Season 3, Gries had to rewrite Greg’s backstory again, this time drawing from some unlikely sources for inspiration, like HBO docuseries “The Jinx,” about late convicted killer Robert Durst, and the case involving the man who came to be known as the Tinder Swindler.
Gries said he was struck by Durst’s “kind of seemingly even keel personality,” which served as a model for where Greg was headed, someone “who doesn’t really show a great deal of emotion, doesn’t seem to get too angry, just gets a little bit irritated and is dangerous.”
“There’s a bridled rage underneath. And those kind of people I find – at least with respect to Gary, Greg, Gary – fascinating,” he said.
And yet, while searching for an empathetic way back to portraying his character, Gries kept wondering if there was anything still redeeming about Greg.
An important “wake up moment” came during a decisive conversation he had with White just before filming in Thailand, in which the show’s creator said of Greg, in no uncertain terms: “He’s a psychopath.”
“And that was it. It was like, ‘back to the drawing board.’ And it really did help me,” Gries said.
The penultimate episode of the series will air on Sunday, an evening that thanks to “Lotus” and other shows has again become a night of appointment viewing amid a general move away from binge watching. Gries said he appreciates the shift.
“We’re a society that in a weird way doesn’t understand the beauty of waiting. The beauty of the space between the notes,” he shared. “If I binged (‘White Lotus’) I’d feel like I just ate too many chocolates. It just wouldn’t be the same. You need to process this.”
“The White Lotus” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO, with the episode available to stream on Max. HBO and Max, like CNN, are owned by the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.

‘White Lotus’ villain Jon Gries reveals the true crimes that inspired his twisty take on Greg/Gary
[url=https://fixedf1oat.org]fixedfloat[/url]
When Season 3 of “The White Lotus” premiered last month, the shock was palpable when returning character Belinda recognized a familiar face at the resort in Thailand: Greg Hunt, the wily suitor of the late Tanya McQuoid.
As the season has unfolded, Greg (played by Jon Gries) has emerged as an antagonist, particularly after Belinda dove into the investigation surrounding Tanya’s death and learned that Greg, who now goes by Gary, evaded questioning by authorities.
On a show famous for reinventing itself, the same has been asked of the actor, who says that playing the ever-shifting character has been a welcome challenge and, like “White Lotus” itself, full of twists.
“In the beginning, I totally played him for a guy who was, you know, on his last legs,” Gries said in a recent interview with CNN, referencing Greg’s very apparent ill health in the first season of “White Lotus,” which premiered to rave reviews in summer 2021. He added: “When you play a character, you want to find his empathetic side, and you want to understand where they came from, and what got them to where they are.”
But when he was contacted by creator Mike White about appearing in Season 2, Gries realized he would have to adjust his framing of Greg, despite having previously imagined a “comprehensive history” for him on his own.
“(White) said, ‘I’m writing it right now, and I’m writing you, and I just need to know here and now: If you’re in, I’ll continue writing. If not, I’ll stop,’” Gries recalled.
Iceberg flotillas
debridge finance
Located on the west coast, Ilulissat is a pretty halibut- and prawn-fishing port on a dark rock bay where visitors can sit in pubs sipping craft beers chill-filtered by 100,000-year-old glacial ice.
It’s a place to be awed by the UNESCO World Heritage Icefjord where Manhattan skyscraper-sized icebergs disgorge from Greenland’s icecap to float like ghostly ships in the surrounding Disko Bay.
Small boats take visitors out to sail closely among the bay’s magnificent iceberg flotilla. But not too close.
“I was on my boat once and saw one of these icebergs split in two. The pieces fell backwards into the sea and created a giant wave,” said David Karlsen, skipper of the pleasure-boat, Katak. “…I didn’t hang around.”
Disko Bay’s other giants are whales. From June to September breaching humpback whales join the likes of fin and minke whales feasting on plankton. Whale-watching is excellent all around Greenland’s craggy coastline.
Whales are eaten here. Visitors shouldn’t be surprised to encounter the traditional Greenlandic delicacy of mattak — whale-skin and blubber that when tasted is akin to chewing on rubber. Inuit communities have quotas to not only hunt the likes of narwhals but also polar bears, musk-ox and caribou — which can also appear on menus.
