EPICURE VIETNAM Magazine - Issue 08 - FABULOUS FEASTS

In this issue

It's that special time of the year when Vietnam is busier than ever, full of vibrant colours, and ready to welcome Tet – our version of the ubiquitous Lunar New Year. Everyone wears the latest outfits and heads out for shopping and taking photos, lots of them. Crowded coffee shops, bustling restaurants, and busy luxury hotels refurbish, and decorate their entrances and facades to welcome the new year. It is heart-warming to experience the difference to the past few years, when Covid ruled and gloom reigned. Now it's the total opposite, with Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi and Nguyen Hue Boulevard in Saigon so busy that it' is almost impossible to walk around. The festive mood and exciting vibe can be seen everywhere. The integrated Hoiana Resort & Golf, one hour's drive south of Danang, is one example. Guests can choose between resort, hotel, or apartment accommodations, play golf and enjoy a wide variety of entertainment. With the further benefit of their generous loyalty program – Hoiana Premier Rewards – a stay there brings unforgettable experiences and memories. Saigon too offers many new dining options, such as WKND, S79 Skyline Dining, Sabor Tapas Bar & Restaurant, or Coastal Saigon and Duke's Oyster Bar. Why not enjoy their culinary offerings with one of seven fine wines from Mouton Cadet, a popular brand of the House of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Led by Brand Director Jérôme Aguirre, Mouton Cadet is distributed by The Warehouse, it is enjoying fast growing popularity in Vietnam. So please join us in exploring Epicure Vietnam's 8th Edition, presenting you with newly opened restaurants, and deliciously innovative dishes. Celebrate your friendships, reunite with your family, and plan to explore new destinations in the Year of The Cat. All of us at Epicure Vietnam and the Oriental Media Group wish you a Prosperous, Healthy, and Happy New Year.
