Recognized as one of Asia’s top hotels, The Anam continues to impress with its innovative approach to gastronomy, blending Vietnamese ingredients with international culinary techniques to create a boundary-pushing degustation menu.
An Exciting New Six-Course Degustation
Created by talented chefs Duy Anh Nguyen and Banh Thanh Toan, this six-course tasting menu redefines modern Asian cuisine. With optional wine pairings from Italy, Australia, Chile, France, and Portugal, each dish is designed to surprise and delight the senses. The restaurant’s open kitchen, grand piano, and lush courtyard with established gardens set the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable dining experience.
A Culinary Journey of Flavors and Textures
The journey begins with amuse-bouche options such as a giant clam with sausage and daikon jams, miso cauliflower sauce, herbs, and salmon roe, alongside Vietnamese beef tartare infused with caramelized cashew fish sauce, crispy garlic, and betel leaf. Next, guests enjoy Hokkaido scallop ceviche with pink pomelo, yellow tangerine, Wakame cracker, kimchi broth, and imperial caviar.

A rich soup follows, featuring poached Black Cod in buttermilk, ponzu caramelized onion, green chilli kosho, and a creamy caviar relish. To cleanse the palate, a laska lime sorbet is served before the main course—a perfectly cooked Black Angus tenderloin with eggplant puree, beef jus infused with chili and basil, accompanied by fragrant Vietnamese ST25 rice with corn and green beans. The meal concludes with a decadent dark chocolate custard paired with fermented coffee sauce and coconut ice-cream.
An Artistic Blend of Cultures and Flavors
Duy Anh Nguyen emphasizes the menu’s concept: “We aim to push boundaries by pairing Vietnamese ingredients with international flavors and techniques in unexpected ways. The menu balances delicate and bold, familiar and surprising, creating a contemporary story of Vietnamese cuisine in Asia’s vibrant culinary scene.”
