We believe the essence of Vietnamese cuisine is best captured by the famous proverb 'hoc an, hoc noi' – learn to eat, before learning to speak!
Vietnam has a varied landscape, encompassing tropical forests, lush farmlands and the richly resourced Mekong and Red River Deltas, and its cuisine showcases the best fresh ingredients and seasonings available in each region. Vietnamese cuisine can be divided into three broad regional groups: Northern cuisine, in which soy sauces and stir-fries are more prevalent due to the region's proximity to China; Southern cuisine, in which fish sauces are essential ingredients and a wide variety of herbs and spices are used to create exciting flavours; and Central cuisine, which traces its heritage from the imperial days and is defined by strong flavours, bright colours and a multitude of small tasting plates fit for a king.
