He found his way into the cooking world when he was 17 years old at Miss Ao Dai Restaurant. Since then, he has worked at some of the nation’s most prestigious restaurants, hotels and resorts. He still remembers his very first day gettingto know different styles of cooking from different cultures. The first time he could savour Emmental cheese, the taste was unforgettable! He is attracted to European food ingredients like OUR coating French unsalted butter with half-fried scallops, adding lemon and parsley, which highlights the best taste of each ingredient in a very simple way. CHEFS "I have a short but memorable time working in Italy, where I found that it was difficult to find Vietnamese ingredients to cook my mom's recipes. Then, I tried using European ingredients and cooked just like the way my mom usually did. Amazing! It turned out to be a perfect match with a little bit of adjustments from the cooking skills. A great combination that I loved the most was when I tried to use French chicken to cook Pho, the great taste from French chicken meat wonderfully combines with other traditional ingredients like spices and leaves." 8 9 | European & Vietnamese Food Nguyen Manh Hung Hungazit "To me, cooking is a joyful journey, every new ingredient offers different experiences. Vietnam’s gastronomy is well-known for its variety of local spices and herbs. European products exposed its excellence in quality from structure, colour to flavour. I strongly believe that a perfect dish is a dish with a smart choice of combinations between these two cultures". Hungazit was born in Ha Noi City, Vietnam. He is a regular when it comes to cuisine-related activities, not only as a chef but as an author as well. Growing up with fond memories of meals cooked by his mom, he is always impressed with strong European flavours like blue cheese and has even developed a small obsession with it — always adding a little blue cheese to many of his daily meals, from fried rice to salad and even consuming it for dessert! 10 11 | European & Vietnamese Food Pham Vu Anh Thy Ryan Pham "There are no limits with cooking. European ingredients are full of strong, authentic flavour, combined wonderfully together with the flexibility of Vietnam's ingredients. This offers a delightful taste. To me, that's a perfect match of two different cultures." Ryan was born in Vietnam. He was always committed to hospitality and opted to leave Vietnam to study the culinary arts in Australia, focusing on European gastronomy.
