#42 My Morning Routine in the Vietnam Countryside 🌿 Autumn Treats & Slow Living

Autumn has found its way into my little kitchen here in Southern Vietnam. 🍂 This week, my ordinary mornings begin in the garden — planting a few colorful pansies from my mom, sweeping away the flowers and leaves after the rain, and slowly going about the little household chores that have become such a familiar part of my everyday life. In the kitchen, I’m trying something new with young green sticky rice (cốm), one of the most beloved flavors of Hanoi autumn. I made homemade mooncakes filled with cốm and shredded coconut, and although they didn’t turn out quite as pretty as I imagined, they were warm, fragrant, and delicious. Sometimes, the imperfect things are the ones that leave us with the sweetest memories. 🤍 The next morning, I used the leftover cốm to make Hanoi-style cốm sticky rice with lotus seeds, mung beans, pandan, coconut milk, and shredded coconut — enjoyed simply with a warm cup of tea. Living far from Hanoi, it felt lovely to bring a little taste of its autumn into my small kitchen in the South. Just another quiet day of gardening, cooking, trying something new, and finding joy in the ordinary moments at home. 🌿 I hope this peaceful vlog brings you a little warmth and a few moments to slow down and relax. Thank you for being here and sharing this slow-living journey with us. 🤍 With love, Mimi Daisy 🎵 MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO Music from Epidemic Sound 🌿 https://share.epidemicsound.com/zh6qix If you sign up through this link, you'll receive a free trial, and I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. #slowliving #vietnamcountryside #vietnamesefood #autumnvlog #simpleliving
