Now in its 2nd year, the hotel welcomed back the talented chefs from Vietnam – Nguyen Thi Khanh Ngan, Tran Kim Hoang Trong, and Vo Van Chien to recreate special dishes from their home.

Some of the dishes that I got to try really blew me away. I love veggies and desserts and I think Vietnam's desserts have piqued my interest. Also, the spring rolls are so fresh and to die for!



Vietnamese salads: Bitter Gourd Salad with Pork above and Cucumber Salad with Salted Fish below. Both are really delicious!







These Vietnamese Braised Vegetables above remind me of a healthier version of Pakbet! What distinguishes it though is the mushrooms added to this and lack of alamang. I think the way they prepared this dish made me taste veggie flavors that I did not know are there!



This Vietnamese Chicken Curry along  with the Stewed Scampi in Coconut Juice above are obvious favorites because they disappeared in just a snap!

You definitely get a brilliant balance of aroma, fresh herbs, pungent flavors, sourness, and sweetness of ingredients with the dishes that these talented chefs made.The buffet rate per person is P1,514 net for lunch, P1,729 net for dinner, or P2,100 net for Sunday brunch.

Above we have some Corn in Sweet Soup with Coconut Milk and below is another Vietnamese Dessert- Sticky Rice with Taro in Sweet Soup.

On September 5, 2018, experience Vietnam’s vibrant culture you as you enter Café Eight for a night of decadent dining. Xin Chao! Special Wine Dinner will let you relish the exquisite combination of dishes prepared by the Vietnamese guest chefs and fine wines from AWC. The rate P2,500 net per person includes a 5-course dinner with unlimited wine.

Savor every sip of the classic Vietnamese drip coffee for the whole month of September at the hotel’s Lobby Lounge. See how the ground coffee trickles down to the cup through the traditional phin. Enjoy this simply delightful drink with a condensed milk and a slice of Vietnamese delicacies
