Located in Thao Dien, home to the largest expat community in Ho Chi Minh City, the restaurant is famous for its innovative cuisine that combines local ingredients and modern cooking techniques.
The couple had their dinner at the restaurant on Monday, booking a menu of traditional dishes from Vietnam’s central and southern regions, reimagined with a modern twist.
The selection included beef and eggplant salad, raw fish, squid salad, crab and bamboo shoot soup, grilled clams with scallion oil, fish braised with fermented rice, cold Quang noodles, grilled duck, beef stew, soursop tea, and grilled banana.
One of the appetizers is mussels served with crispy rice paper. Known for their sweet, mildly salty flavor and soft, spongy texture, the mussels often harvested from rivers and lagoons in the central region are stir-fried with satay and paired with Vietnamese coriander foam and crunchy rice paper.
