Regional Kitchens
"Northern and Central Vietnam — two distinct cuisines, one journey."
A multi-day journey designed around two of Vietnam's culinary regions. You move slowly between cities, eating with a different specialist in each — a noodle historian in Hanoi, a royal-cuisine chef in Hue, and a riverside cook in Hoi An.
Eating bun cha in a Hanoi courtyard, then eating bun bo Hue in an imperial garden three days later — and finally understanding why northern and central kitchens cook in different worlds.

unfolds.

Northern Subtlety · Hanoi
Pho, bun cha, cha ca, banh cuon. The cuisine of restraint — clean broths, herbs as headline ingredients, almost no sugar.

Central Spice · Hue & Hoi An
