Experience your exciting and memorable culinary journeys in Vietnam and around the world.
All my weariness seems to disappear. I run quickly up the last stairs, calling out loud “Uncle Joseph”. Upon coming in, I hug him from his back. The sweet smell of cream cheese is still lingering on his hair. Thanks to his career and hobbies, he has had chances to travel around the world. He has cooked the delicious dishes he has learned on his travels since I was a little girl. He also tells me how he “met” those dishes. No matter how mature I am, his dishes and culinary stories are always miraculous. Now, we are preparing the last plates for our dinner today while happily telling funny stories. This time, he is the listener as I’m sharing with him my recipes and my passion for cooking. Actually, in that busy life, what could be more important than the excitement we have whenever enjoying or cooking scrumptious dishes? Why don’t you share with us your own excitement during your culinary journeys?

Nestled on the sands of Phu Quoc Island’s stunning southwest coast, La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc MGallery by Sofitel transports you to a forgotten age of elegance. Imbued with the grandeur of a French colonial mansion and cocooned by lush tropical gardens, every detail of the 70 spacious rooms evokes an era when life was slower, simpler. More refined.
T
he birth and development of La Veranda Resort was attributed to its founder, Madame Catherine, a regal French woman with ancestral ties to Phu Quoc. More than a century of history and adventure is built into the walls and ornate furnishings of La Veranda. Madame Catherine’s grandfather was first lured from China to the sleepy backwater of Phu Quoc in the 19th century with grand visions of farming lucrative pepper crops. But the power of romance would dramatically change this family’s course. He fell in love with Madame Thanh, Catherine’s grandmother, a local woman who sells fish sauce, and together the young couple embarked on a bold journey to Phnom Penh to pioneer the beginnings of a prosperous fish sauce enterprise. Raised in Phnom Penh and on the picturesque waterways surrounding Tonle Sap Lake, Madame
Catherine’s childhood during the height of French rule inspired her designs for an authentic 1920s French colonial-style mansion by the sea - La Veranda’s charming main house. La Veranda was built in 2004 intended as a refuge for her retirement. In this land of her ancestors, she designed and decorated an authentic 1920’s French colonial sanctuary as a living monument to her family’s history. The furnishings, art works and period collectibles reflect more than a century of her family’s journey from Phu Quoc to Phnom Penh... and finally back home to their maritime roots. Since opening to travellers around the world in 2006, La Veranda Resort has been embracing guests in perfect privacy and tranquility. Through the years, the resort has won various awards for guest service and has recently won the 2016 Luxury Beachfront Boutique Hotel for Vietnam awarded by Luxury Travel guide. As it celebrates its 10th anniversary, the hotel looks back to where it all started - to a humble woman who sells fish sauce who blazed the trail for Madame Catherine, founder of luxury boutique La Veranda Resort.

f you are curious about how people eat late breakfast in different countries, then visit The Social Club, where you can try French Banon, Italian bisotto, black Spanish pork, Chinese dimsum, fresh seafood including Josper Roasted lobsters, and oysters from Canada, France, Vietnam. What would be better than enjoy a full set of various types of cheese including Banon, Goat, Tommy, Reblochon, Saint Morgon, and Blue Auvergne. You can actually eat breakfast like a king and have lunch like a queen! One of the favorite cheeses is Banon which is often made by hand from goat's
milk in the town of Banon, in the French countryside. To make Banon, goat's milk is curdled and wrapped in chestnut leaves which have been steeped in alcohol. So it is slightly crispy and extremely aromatic while the inside is creamy and greasy with the scent of grass. Cheese is best served with dried fruits nuts, and toast as well. You can also try greasy Risotto with the familiar Italian cream flavor. Fresh pasta is quite popular in pizza bakeries and Italian restaurants in Saigon. However, only few restaurants serve risotto as it is important to use Italian rice. The rice is cooked with a soffritto mixture consisting of onion, cream cheese, butter, and olives. This mixture creates
a cover for rice before it is dipped in wine and cooked with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Delicious authentic risotto must be soft as if it could melt in your month. The head chef AnneCäcile Degenne makes the brunch buffet more special with sweet deserts including cupcakes, Dark Emperor Cake, almond berries tart), Kalamansi tart, Yuzu & white chocolate, Coffee crÃme brulee, and –clairs. How do you make the jam layer fresh and not too sweet or make spongy meringue from egg white? Each cake is sophisticatedly made from the heart of the chef. Why not treat yourself to a relaxing brunch with your friends this weekend?

People travel from all over the country to enjoy Da Lat's golden flowers in October and to experience the endless eats around the tasty streets. What will have you exclaiming "Troi oi, ngon qua!" from beginning to end as you walk in Da Lat? There are avocado ice cream, fresh strawberries, Vietnamese pizza, dried sweet potatoes, grilled corn, cheese yogurt, and artichoke tea ... Instead of embarking on these tantalizing food adventures around Da Lat, this time, let's discover some littleknown gems as we dig into the heart of a city's culinary landscape.

How To Eat Your Way THROUGH DA LAT Text: Phan Cac Truc
food&beverage
GRILLED CRICKETS - THE BIZARRE FUTURE FOOD
F
ounded in 2013, the Next Millennium Farms (NMF) in Toronto, Canada, is a 9,000-square-foot cricket farm. It has received $50,000 in exchange for a 5 percent share in the company a few years ago. Exo, one of their partners, receives large profits from manufacturing protein bars from NMF's cricket flour and sold approximately 50,000 bars a month in 2014. In Cambodia, you find people standing around nibbling from the bags of deep-fried crickets they've promised to bring home to their wives and children. In Thailand, eating fried insects in Bangkok appears on the check-list of most daring travelers. A bag of crispy fried crickets definitely has an edge over chips, both in terms of nutritional value and the exotic element. Few tourists traveling to Da Lat know that the city is also a land where you can sample this smoking hot new nutritional trend around the world.
Rich in protein and low in cholesterol, you may be surprised to find that crickets have about three times as much of muscle-aiding minerals as beef does, and provide more iron than spinach, and nearly five times as much magnesium as beef. Let alone tons of calcium, amino acids, omega 3, and vitamins. Furthermore, crickets are clean' insects since they eat mostly corn, leaves, or cereal in nature. While visiting the farm in Da Lat, you see people feeding them fresh grains and corn stalks which clean out anything unsavory. There is a strange and sometimes, to many foreign tourists, terrible - appeal to eating crickets. If you haven't been fooled by what people usually say about it, try it. You may happen to like its sweet, greasy, meaty, and crunchy flavor. A true delicacy to me, grilled crickets melt right in the mouth. Grilled, or prepared as cricket powder, crickets make an ideal accompaniment for appetizers. The tour guide revealed "You should have rice alcohol before tasting the crickets, it creates a stronger flavor." Sip some rice wine, and dip your grilled crickets in ketchup, and you are ready to have a healthy snack at mid-day. There are also crickets stuffed peanuts or fried crickets with herbs and noodles to offer. Never judge a book by its cover! You will never understand how impressive it tastes if you are biased by its look. HOMEMADE BAGUETTE WITH DA LAT MEATBALLS Nicknamed Le Petit Paris, (Little Paris) Da Lat offers her guests hot and 'chameleon' baguettes. Yes, the Vietnamese baguettes, or b∏nh m˙, would remind you of a captivating chameleon' which goes well with everything around. It can go with
butter, cheese, herbs, veggies, grilled pork, chickens, beef, even condensed milk. Should you travel to Da Lat soon, you would find the new flavor: grilled baguette with chili and shredded pork. There is nothing better than waking up in a cold morning and welcoming the day with a b∏nh m˙ filled with so much bold flavor. Unlike Vietnamese baguettes in other regions, where everything is put inside the baguette for an easy grab and go, Da Lat meatball baguettes require you to sit down and appreciate every sip of meatball soup. A 'full-course' will include a bowl of juicy meatballs, meat paste, green onion, cilantro, and homemade baguettes. The baguettes are kept warm in a red hot coal barbecue, or inside a bamboo basket, which remains crispy on the outside and cloudy in the inside. For locals in "the city of eternal spring", a hot cup of soy milk or hot peanut milk is a perfect companion for breakfast. One interesting fact about Vietnamese food is that the most significant flavors are often found on street vendors. Therefore, don't doubt your local friends if they take you to some shabby looking place on the pavement and tell you it's one of the best in town. When I was taken to the Hoang Dieu - Tran Nhat Duat corner, I had no idea that it was one of their best meatball baguette stalls. With homemade, pointed, and golden brown crust, the meatball b∏nh m˙ here is probably the most significant street food in my must-have' list. You can enjoy these dishes at: Cricket farm Thien An, Me Linh, Lam Ha, Lam Dong Vietnamese b∏nh m˙ with meatball soup around street stalls such as: 26 Hoang Dieu, Dalat, Lam Dong *231 & 235 Phan Dinh Phung, Da Lat, Lam Dong

release tension and remove extra fat. Kobe cows are fed special food which is far different from that of common cows. Moreover, locals have a strict rules to prevent the cows from gaining too much weight, ensuring that the beef is properly marbled. It's important to enjoy Kobe beef in the Kansai style, Sukiyaki Kobe! One of the most recommended places to taste Kobe beef is at Akanoren. Established in 1906, this restaurant is one of the first to serve Kobe beef in Japan. An expert of grilling beef will guide you in how to make the most delicious steak. Firstly, grill fat to take natural oil from the beef. Slices of beef will then be grilled with mirin, onion, mushroom, and tofu. The grilled beef is then dipped in a bowl of egg yolk before being eaten. The eggs are carefully selected. A quality egg must be red and not have bad odor, making the steak more tasty and aromatic.

KOBE BEEF, KOBE CITY hen you visit Kobe, never miss a chance to enjoy the worldwide famous Kobe beef. This Kansai specialty costs about 500 USD - 3000 USD/ kg depending on the quality of the beef (from A1 to A5). Kobe beef is one of the world's most expensive dishes and not just anyone can try this dish as only about 1,500 to 3,000 Kobe cows are killed each year to meet the domestic and international demand. I asked my guide whether these cows were massaged and listened to music as rumored. He nodded and claimed that the process of feeding Kobe cows is very strict. The cows are given beer to induce appetite, massaged, and listen to music to

FUGU (PUFFERFISH), OBAMA CITY To taste this expensive dish, you must pay from 27.300 to 35.000 Yen for two at a 2-star Michelin restaurant. Fugu is a very luxurious and... dangerous dish that can only been found in Japan. Some parts of puffefish contain lethal tetrodotoxin which is 1,200 times as dangerous as xyanua (cyanide) in fresh bamboo shoots. Only those who have partaken in a special 3-year course and received a license are allowed to prepare Fugu. Therefore, you have to visit large and famous restaurants certified to serve Fugu rather than preparing it by yourself at home. Fugu, cut in the Usu-zukuri technique is served only at important parties or big events. The thin translucent slices of fish are arranged in the shape of a daisy, representing longevity and respect. If you want to eat Fugu at more reasonable prices, visit the coastal areas. Obama in Fukui Province, famous for its sea road, is an ideal place to try Fugu and the freshest red king crab. We stopped at Sekumiya, one of the largest hotels in Obama, which is just 2 minutes from the ocean and an 11 minute walk from Obama Station, to taste fugu-sashi (fugu mixed rice) and fugu hotpot. My fellow traveler kept asking "Did the chef have a license?" and "are thre any problems with it?". However, after enjoying melt in your mouth dishes, she understood why Fugu is one of the most high-class specialties in the world, attracting countless diners despite the potential dangers.

RED KING CRABS, OSAKA We visited Kani Doraku, a famous restaurant for red king crabs at 6:15pm. My friend said that we were 15 minutes late. Bookings only last 2 hours, and diners are not allowed to stay at the restaurant for longer than 2 hours according to the reservation. Unlike I had expected, the Doraku Kani Restaurant is very small and located on a busy street. Without the eye-catching giant red king crabs which sometimes move, there is little to differentiate this restaurant with others. In Japan, renowned restaurants are often simple. The Michelin sushi stall of chef Jiro is near the subway station and Kani Doraku is an example. Japanese people love crab. Among different types of crab, red king crab is the most expensive. An imported crab in Vietnam can cost 5 million VND. Red king crabs can be very large, sometimes reaching a carapace width of 28cm and a leg span of 1.8 m. These crabs only live in icy water with high salinity and just leave their home on stormy days. It's very difficult and dangerous to catch them. This is also the reason why a lunch with red king crab at Kani Doraku Crab costs about 3,000 4,000Yen and a lunch costs 6,000 - 8,000 Yen/ set. A set includes crab tempura, boiled/steamed crab, crab sashimi, steamed egg with crab, and crab sushi. You can enjoy dishes in set or choose from different dishes based on your liking and budget. No matter how crabs are prepared, the meat is fragrant, soft, juicy, and firm. In addition, the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and omega in red king crab is very high. It's especially good for those who must use their mental faculties extensively. It's easy to understand why they are called King crabs.

The blend of lemongrass, chilis, galangal, lemon leaves, dried onion, lime, fish sauce, and greasy shrimp makes Tom Yum Goong the pride of Thailand. AS TOLD BY HISTORY, the majority of Thai people are descendants of migrants from southern China. In the new land, they continued preparing dishes with signature spices of the Yunnan region. This is why most Thai cuisine is spicy. On the other side, the cuisine retains its attributes despite having been influenced by the two neighboring countries - Malaysia and India. Curry powder, dried shrimp powder, lemongrass, dill, cardamom powder, coriander, and satay can been found in Thai dishes.
District 13 Paris which are home to some scrumptious dishes, the spicy flavor and scent of lemongrass in Tom Yum Goong lingers on your palate, leading you to what you should revisit. Meanwhile, Somtum (green papaya salad) from the Northeastern area (Issan) is a strange dish. Diners can be divided into two groups, those who are addicted to it and those who just shake their heads when someone tells them to try it. Somtum is prepared with main ingredients of garlic, chili, green bean, tomato, shredded papaya,
and fish sauce. In some places, peanuts, dried shrimp or crab are added to make salad more crispy and tasty. After preparing all these ingredients, the chef will put them into a pestle and pound them for a while.
Although Thai people attend to balancing the 5 basic flavors: salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter; spiciness is the strongest. Some claim that this is their only prejudice against Thai food. Dishes are very spicy even when it's not the primary flavor. It's difficult for foodies like me. Having fallen in love with spicy food, whenever visiting Thailand, I usually eat tongue-searing meals and then complain about how spicy Thai food is! The blend of lemongrass, chilis, galangal, lemon leaves, dried onion, lime, fish sauce, and greasy shrimp makes Tom Yum Goong the pride of Thailand.

FURTHER INFORMATION: - Directions: To visit the Yodpiman River Walk, you can go to BTS to Saphan Taskin wharf, find the place of Yodpiman ships or travel by taxi to Talad Pak Klong, cross the market, and enter the complex from the back gate.
PAD THAI (sweet sour fried noodles) - a popular dish in every corner of Thailand - also comes with a plate of chili powder. Whenever I go to eat Pad Thai with Penpisut, my local friend. She adds a bowl of chili powder to her plate without batting an eye. Sometimes she even asks for more chili! She probably knows how much spice she can tolerate. Maybe it's how she awakens her tastebuds. For me, I usually order a plate of mango sticky rice after enjoying Pad Thai. It's best to enjoying mango sticky rice at Food Republic which is designed like New York's SOHO with raw materials after wandering around Siam Center. This makes me feel that I'm eating my hometown's dish at the center of the world. Another location I love in Bangkok is the Yodpiman River Walk on the bank

of the Chao Phraya River. As Yodpiman was just opened in 2014, many locals have not visited this entertainment and restaurant complex. Unlike the busy Asiatique, at Yodpima, you can have traditional Thai food at Je Ngor, Japanese food at Ootoya, or explore the coffee shops, jewelry shops, or lovely stores selling handicrafts. One more reason I love Yodpiman is that I feel compelled to walk through the complex's back yard to visit the famous flower market, Talad Pak Klong. You can follow this wide spectrum of colors and scents to Bangkok's Old Town where you can see locals freely enjoying their dishes or a quiet lunch. Save this simple moment as you can not find anything like this at any food court in the shopping malls or chains of the impressively decorated restaurants in Siam or Sukhumvit.
Jon Siegel
- Explore: If you are a fan of afternoon tea, pastries, and coffee, don't miss a chance to visit Casa Lapin to experience one of the favorite places to chill out for Bangkok locals. An artisanal flower shop is nestled in front of the cafä. You can simply knock the door and ask to explore that lovely world.

have their own recipes, creating different impressions on Western visitors. While Vietnamese dishes are elegant, focusing more on fresh ingredients and harmony, Thai cuisine is hot, and lemongrass plays a special role in this kind of flavor.
ot only used in cooking, lemongrass is also a part of Thai daily life. They grow lemongrass around their house in both rural areas and luxurious villas to ward off mosquitoes and other insects. They extract lemongrass for essential oils used in medicine, cosmetics, and traditional therapies. They drink fragrant tea made from lemongrass and use it in most everyday dishes.
Every visitor must try Tom Yum - the sour and spicy soup from the land of golden temples. Apart from spicy chili and the sour taste of fresh lime, Tom Yum carries an appealing aroma of lemongrass. However, not many people know that lemongrass is used in most Thai soups with fish, shrimp, or oysters. Lemongrass stems are bruised, cut into small pieces, and boiled before other ingredients are added. For visitors, curry is less well-known than other Thai-style sour and spicy dishes, but it is usually included in the daily meals of Thai people. They eat curries like soup and use a variety of spices in cooking. Thai curries don't have the strong flavor of Indian curries. They focus more on the ingredients and the texture by using coconut milk. The green bell peppers, mint, and lemongrass are not cooked through in order to retain their flavor. For stirfry, the leaves are crushed and mixed in different ratios, creating different curries with suitable colors and tastes for different dishes.
Lemongrass is a common plant grown in Southeast Asia. It's used in many dishes in Vietnam and Thailand. These two countries share common ingredients but
One of Thailand's favorite dishes is pad gung gaeng moo korb (crispy stir-fried pork with red curry). This dish is like love which draws you in but makes you

"hurt" because of it. The heat of the chilis, the flavor of lemongrass, together with other signature Thai spices such as garlic, coriander, pepper, and onion create an explosion of taste and smell. Thai people eat fresh lemongrass in salad. Khao yam is a rice salad from the Northern Thailand. Traditionally, Thais prepare khao yam with ingredients from their gardens such as grated sour mango, coconut flakes, bean sprouts, greens, and dried shrimp. Of course, the indispensable ingredient is lemongrass. Thin slices of lemongrass are gently cut from the bulb to the stem to keep its natural scent and sweet taste, contributing to this delicious dish. Every time I visit my favorite Thai restaurant, the chef never forgets to put a blue bean flower from his garden into my bowl. This is a precious little thing that makes me love this country and the people here.

All features needed to make a charming English land are found in Sheffield. There are gorgeous churches, theaters, museums, a national park, and buildings in which the classical architecture blends with modern styles. All of this brings thousands of visitors each year. But the most appealing thing of this city is the cuisine of Yorkshire. ŠJM Travel Photography
Remember that the first afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford
Numerous visitors flock to Sheffield of Yorkshire each year. After exploring the city located in Northern England, they often rush to catch the train to Peak District National Park. But wait, before admiring the beauty of nature, the first thing every traveler must do is enjoy the delicious cuisine of Sheffield. English cuisine doesn’t compare favorably to those in France, Italy, and Spain. However, not many people know that in the past English cuisine was much renowned throughout the world of the higher class as they were prepared with a myriad of premium spices imported from English colonies. As time passed, English people gradually paid less attention to their own dishes. When they go out for meal at restaurants, they like discovering new flavors from other countries. Therefore, Indian, Chinese, and Italian restaurants have developed in every corner in Sheffield. This is also the reason why you can indulge in the world of Asian and European dishes in this English city.
In a cool afternoon, sit by the fireplace, sip a cup of hot tea with Parkin ginger cake while watching snow falling outside. How comfortable it is! Come to England and try English cuisine!
R
emember that the first afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840 and became a fashionable social event among the upper class. British people have their own way of enjoying their peaceful life. In a cool afternoon, sit by the fireplace, sip a cup of hot tea with a Parkin ginger cake while watching the snow fall outside. How cozy it is! Just a simple cup of Yorkshire tea prepared by steeping a tea-bag in water before adding fresh unsweetened milk is enchanting. Britain boasts the English Sunday Roast, a signature dish which actually isn’t just served on Sundays. They love eating roasted meat including pork, lamb, chicken, and beef (the favorite). Grilled dishes are often served with seasonal vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and peas boiled or baked with a special brown sauce made from egg, flour, milk, mayonnaise, and fat from grilled beef. What could be better than trying English Sunday Roast with the famous Yorkshire pudding? TRAVELLIVE

The grey sky reminded me about the scene in Wuthering Heights, a famous novel by Emily Brontë.
Whenever someone mentions English cuisine, he talks about Yorkshire pudding. The first Sunday of February is even called Yorkshire Pudding Day in Britain. In the past, servings of Yorkshire pudding were larger than now. People often ate it before the main course to feel less hungry and eat less meat. This was a popular habit in difficult economic times. The main ingredients of Yorkshire pudding are egg, flour, and water or milk. This dish can also be served as dessert or side dish for English Sunday Roast. English- style Fish & Chips are quite different from those in the US and France. The breaded fish fillet and fried potato aren’t crispy. They are wrapped in newspaper. Enjoy them with a little salt, vinegar, lime, or sauce and feel the tastes linger on your tongue. Be like an Englishman by eating Fish & Chips with soft drinks. A DAY IN SHEFFIELD SEEMED TO BE SHORT As it takes me a lot of time just to explore the world of food. I greeted a new day in Sheffield with an English-style breakfast including bacon, roast sausage, fried mushrooms, tomato, eggs, and peas. For some people, a simple breakfast can be bread with jam and cheese. Of course, a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk is indispensable. After enjoying breakfast, I caught a train to Peak District National Park as it was drizzling. Peak District is the oldest national park in England having opened in 1951. I went through the forest and walked to a hill. The grey sky reminded me about the scene in Wuthering Heights, a famous novel by Emily Brontë. The story in this novel also took place in Yorkshire, only 60 miles from the place I was standing. After walking a long way, I strolled down from Higger Tor Hill to The Fox House which was built in 1773 and named after Mr. Fox of Callow Farm in Highlow. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and attracts numerous diners. There was a short couple on a date in this old house, making me feel like I was in a scene from Harry Potter. I skipped the appetizer as I was afraid that I couldn’t eat a lot and decided to have a caesar salad. Named after the Roman emperors, this dish includes lettuce, thin slices of bacon, mullet, and parmesan served with croutons. For dessert, I ate a Belgian Black Chocolate cake with melted chocolate and Irish cream. These two dishes are so delicious that I will remember this restaurant forever. Although I was quite stuffed, I didn’t forget to sip a cup of hot Yorkshire tea on that rainy day before returning to the city to visit the Lyceum Theater. Your trip to beautiful Sheffield would never be complete without enjoying Yorkshire pudding and watching drama!

With a gentle design combining a small garden with Tibetan prayer towers and murals, the Mandala vegetarian restaurant allows guests to enjoy the tranquility of the land of Buddhists from the very first moments. One of the favorites there is the 5-color vegetarian rice. The rice is cooked with beet broth, then fried with 5 ingredients: corn, peas, beans, carrots, and tofu. If you want to try new flavors, enjoy the Putan noodles with tomato sauce. The soft and tough noodles, enoki mushrooms and broccoli, together with butter and satay make the dish perfect. Apart from traditional vegetarian dishes such as crispy fried pumpkin flowers or stir-fried winged beans with pemmican, you can also try the vegetarian hotpot, Nepalese cellophane noodle salad, ÆÀu hÒ ph◊ phµ (fried tofu with egg white and milk), and 5-spice fried calabash.

Luxurious rare teas
ith a selection of high-end teas, Vietnam’s 6 star hotel Reverie will introduce you to the world of British aristocrats of the past. Those who are interested in traditional ranges of tea should not miss Assam Gbop, Earl Grey Fleurs, and Darjeeling De Printemps Gfop. While Assam Gbop boasts the flavor of spring in North Eastern India with bright colors and a strong taste of malt, Darjeeling De Printemps Gfop represents the spring from the Himalayan foothills with fresh, floral and aromatic notes and intense aromas of almond and ripe fruit. Meanwhile, Earl Grey Fleurs offers you a freshness with a fine combination of black teas and elegant Bergamot from the Calabria region of Italy. You can also try Strong Breakfast, Lapsang Souchong, The Rose, Jasmine Pearl, and Chinese Gunpowder. If you are abstaining from caffeine, then decaffeinated teas like Peppermint, Camomile, Rooibos Fruits Rouges, and Pomelone are ideal choices.
One of the highlights at Reverie’s tea party is that you can find rare teas such as Genmaïcha Matcha, Yin Zhen Pointes Blanches, and Pont Des Amants Flower. The most interesting tea must be Yin Zhen Pointes Blanches. Yin Zhen Pointes Blanches is created from downy buds. This extremely rare tea is set apart by its freshness and delicacy, embodied by aromas of roasted chestnut and blossoms. You can realize guidelines to mix different teas with different types of cakes and pastries right on the menu. Some teas are best served without sugar or milk, some go with jams, black chocolate, or French-style äclair, while some teas go with cheese-flavored dishes. What could be better than indulging yourself in the aroma of fresh mint; the warm taste of pineapple, lemon, and orange; or enjoying the scents of flowers in cool days?

Calling it “the loveliest village on earth” seems to be an ambitious statement for Tra Que if you haven’t made your way to the stunning Hoi An countryside. Once you arrive though, you’re guaranteed to fall in love with this little corner of the earth.

Located 3 km from the center of Hoi An, Tra Que village is well-known as its freshest and cleanest vegetable and herb supplier. You can easily get there by motorbike, bicycle, or a light walk. This village is like an oasis situated between the Old Town of Hoi An and An Bang beach.
WHAT MAKES TRA QUE VILLAGE SPECIAL?
A
community has come together and created something truly special here. It’s very rare in Vietnam’s rural areas that a community can sustain itself from only growing vegetables and herbs, but it’s happening in Tra Que. This village is not only beautiful but possesses real treasure in the quality of its soil. We know that Vietnam has had some bad experience with chemicals in the past, but what makes this place uniquely special is the fact that no chemicals or toxins are used in the growing process. It’s situated atop rice patties, which add to the richness of the soil. This guarantees the best quality and healthiest vegetables. With a short visit to Tra Que, visitors can see firsthand how the farmers grow vegetables in this conscientious way.
Tra Que villagers are extremely proud of their produce. Mr. Thanh, who’s one of the experienced local farmers, loves sharing the fact that his herbs are chemical and additive free. He tells us that Tra Que’s natural fragrant aroma is thanks to the seaweed from De Vong lake, which is used as fertilizer. In addition, the unique farm land has greatly contributed to the fame of Tra Que Village. Mrs. Do Thi Thanh, a villager tells us: "Tra Que vegetables have a wonderful aroma with small, delicate leaves because it only takes 20 days from the day of planting to harvesting. In Vietnamese cooking traditions, certain herbs and vegetables go with certain meats. During my cooking and farming tours, I teach tourists how to grow herbs, separate land for suitable kinds of herbs and how much water to give each plant. Even if you’ve never farmed before or you think you don’t have “green fingers”, you’ll still experience plenty of joy in the process." Hoi An cooking techniques focus on Yin and Yang to balance the hot and cold inside the body. This means optimum nutrition is guaranteed when you use the fresh herbs and vegetables from Tra Que.

HUNDREDS YEAR OF GROWING VEGETABLES AND HERBS
T
he village was established 300 years ago at the mouth of the De Vong River. The first citizens of Tra Que used to make their living from fishing. Gradually, they started taking advantage of the river’s abundant seaweed to make fertilizer. Since then, Tra Que locals have spent their lives growing the best vegetables which are delivered to Hoi An’s restaurants and households. Hoi An is considered the food mecca of Vietnam and Tra Que Village contributes largely to this. Tra Que is comprised of 40 hectares of fertile land, sustaining more than 41 different kinds of vegetables, including betel, perilla, Vietnamese coriander, Thai Basil, spearmint, green onion, mint, fish mint, salad, courgette, fuzzy squash, lime, water morning glory, and other herbs.
A PARADISE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS If you are looking for a gorgeous destination Tra Que is irrefutably the perfect choice. For photographers, lighting is always one of most important things to consider when taking the best photos. In Tra Que, you are rewarded with outstanding light quality for your shots. From early morning to the late afternoon, every time of day provides excellent natural lighting, giving you many opportunities for creativity. Tra Que is also known as the best place to photograph sunsets in Hoi An. Moreover, Tra Que with its lush grassland, marvelous rice fields and tranquil lakes, creates the perfect backdrop of rural Vietnam. It’s every photographer’s dream to be able to capture an 80 year old farmer having a break and sitting on his buffalo. And if you’re lucky enough, you can see a boat transferring seeds to the village among other quirky and delightful things to see. The amazing scenery of Tra Que will have you itching to go. One funny and sometimes “annoying” thing in Vietnam is that some people often ask for money when they have their photo taken. In Tra Que, you won’t find people going “1 photo/ 1 dollar”! Come to Hoi An to see this beautiful attraction. If you want to see and capture life unfolding in the village, come and visit Tra Que. It provides an oncein-a-lifetime experience for many people, especially photography lovers.

FURTHER INFORMATION: ACTIVITIES: ü Tra Que village is not marked as a tourist destination for every tour, but it's always listed as a must-see for travelers. You can experience a day of being farmer and learn interesting plant growing techniques from the villagers or you can just go for a stroll around the area. The local people are very friendly but if you’re not sure, try experiencing a day as a farmer, taking photos of the rice patties and vegetable patches, enjoying a relaxing cycle or a leisurely walk, experiencing a magical sunset/ sunrise, cooking classes, and foot massages with Tra Que herbs. EVENT: ü Every year, on the 7th day of the first lunar month, Tra Que villagers organize the Cau Bong festival to pray for good weather and a successful harvest season.

We can not see the sun gradually fall down the skyline. We have no idea where the sun is, except from its few last rays separately painted on the sky, behind soaring buildings. No one feels thankful as they are too exhausted and cranky on their way home.

At dawn, it's so tranquil that we can listen to the sea breeze and the sounds of waves clapping on the beach. On cloudless days, without footprints on the sand, everything is silent, fresh, and pure. I'm not a person who likes getting up early, so I choose to watch the sunset. The sunset is beautiful, simply beautiful. It enchants me no matter whether it's a sunny or rainy. It touches me every single moment from the time when white clouds float gently like flamingos wandering in the sky, when the sun is still brilliant, to the moment when the entire space sinks into orange. The sunrise and sunset teach me about patience and gratitude. The sun disappears to make room for the dark night. The dark night then accumulates energy for a new day. The most vivid radiance will fade. The dark will give way to a new glory. It's impossible to ask for two sunrises and no sunset. In sunset, you realize that when you are faced with what you will miss, you know what you still have.

‰ LOCAL FOOD: To conclude your journey in Slovenia, nothing could be better than a romantic dinner at Penzion Berc where you can admire Bled Lake and the 10th century Bled Palace from above. One of the most famous dishes at Bled is kremnista. The cream cake is made from flour and cheese. The first layer is crispy and yellow while the creamy vanilla center isn’t gooey. If there was too much vanilla, it wouldn’t retain it’s shape after being cut. The final layer is delicious and fragrant with egg, milk, and vanilla. There are more than a million kremnista cakes sold each year, making it the culinary symbol of the northern Slovenia.

This Autumn, if you are seeking new European natural colors, then Slovenia is your answer. Although the country may be hidden beneath the reputation of its neighbors - Austria and Italy, Slovenia is charming in its own way with magnificent untouched mountains. Slovenia brings you the most natural and enchanting landscapes, with no frills and flashy things. Of all famous destinations there, Vintar Gogre, Bohinj Lake, and Bled Lake are worth your time.

The natural wonder of Vintgar Gorge Vintgar Gorge, also known as Bled Gorge, is a 1.6 meter gorge in northwestern Slovenia, about 5km from the famous Bled Lake. The centuries old gorge is open only from April to November to ensure the safety of visitors as the mountain terrace and snow-covered cliffs are dangerous in the winter. Therefore, autumn is the best time to visit this natural wonder, stroll down wooden walkways, and listen to the murmuring of water while the trees are changing into their new yellow coat. The complex of Vintgar Gorge includes wooden corridors with firm handrails above the Radovna River where autumn colored leaves reflect their beauty on the crystal clear water. Moving towards the end of the trail, you will reach Sum Waterfall where the water cascades from a height of 13m. Overlooking the East, the Sum Waterfall and sunrays create captivating rainbows in its mist. From the waterfall, you can return to continue down the trail to the Bohinj Lake.

Active sporty couple relaxing on lake beach after active day of cycling enjoying beautiful nature around lake Bohinj.
About 30km from the Vintgar Gorge to the northwest is the Bohinj Basin, a jade jewel hidden among majestic mountains ranging from 1,600m to 2,000m. Located in the heart of the impressive Julian Alps, the Bohinj Basin also has the largest natural lake in Slovenia. Along the walkway are pretty bus stops with brown wooden roofs, blooming flowers, and flower pots hung on the village’s gate. The lake stretches about 4.2km with water supplied from Black Lake. Bohinj Lake seems to be divided into two parts with two distinct colors. Half of the lake which is near the shore is so transparent that you can see the bottom while the other is dark green with hidden moss below. TRAVELLIVE
117
Moreover, you can always find your own corner around the lake to enjoy the tranquility and fresh air. There are some camping RVs dotted among green trees around the lake. With cold weather, summer is perhaps not long enough for inhabitants to relax during their holidays.
S
everal families bring provisions for camping in their RVs for weeks long. They play sports, go swimming and boating in the daytime then complete their day with a barbecue. When travelling to Slovenia, you will realize that not only the Italians but the Slovenians know their own way to enjoy life. Bohinj is in Triglav National Park - the largest national park in Slovenia; therefore, it’s quite convenient to travel from here to the waterfalls on Mount Savika which is an hour from the Lake. Stand on Mount Savika and contemplate the majestic Bohinj valley with ancient trees and limestone covered with moss. Along the path leading to Savika’s peak is diverse vegetation including rare plants that can only be found in this country. Cottages are hidden behind large trees, separating them from the outside world. The space is covered by the fresh air of autumn, the songs of birds, and the murmuring sounds of spring water.

Located in the center of Bled Lake is Bled island with the church of St. Mary. The gothic church is a favorite wedding venue for Slovenians. It’s believed that if the groom holds the bride going up the stairs, they will stay happy forever. To visit Bled Island, I needed ask a Pletna boatman. Like gondoliers in Venice, the job of sailing boats is passed down from generation to generation within families. Pletna boatmen, or Pletnaers, are always respected. If you are interested in adventures, diving and boat racing around Bled Lake are ideal for you. Slovenia is not a perfect place for those who are seeking bustling urban environments. However, it’s wonderful for romantic travelers who love pure yellow autumnal beauty and those who want to escape tourist traps with rows of souvenir shops. FURTHER INFORMATION: ITINERARY: ü There is only one international airport in the capital, Liubliana, 55km from Bled. From Vietnam, you can fly to Frankfurt airport in Germany and then fly to Liubliana in 1 hour and 10 minutes. WEATHER: ü Located near the Alps, Slovenia is quite cold. In September, the temperature is ranging from 15 to 19 degrees C. You should bring a jacket and a thin scarf with you. CURRENCY: ü EUR. As Slovenia is a member of the Schengen, you can travel here with a Schengen visa. CUISINE: ü Despite the influence of French, German, and Italian cooking, each region of Slovenia has its own cuisine with distinct flavors. Specialties include frog, ajdovi žganci (oatmeal), kremnista, and burek cakes. ACTIVITIES: ü Apart from the above mentioned destinations, you can partake in other activities such as canoeing, visiting wine factories, exploring Skovcjan cave, or spending time at the Kranjska Gora skiing area.

After spending time at the lake and Mt. Savika, take time to visit another place - Bled Lake. Unlike the tranquil Bohinj, Bled is a popular destination for dining. There are numerous restaurants, food stalls, and hotels located
around it. Bled’s length is only half that of Bohinj; however, with a prime location and suitable water depth, this lake is often chosen for world boat races.

“A hub of commerce”, “hustling and bustling”, and “young and effervescent” are just some ways to describe the modern beauty of Saigon. However, this city has more to offer. Saigon hides inside it a poetically tranquil appearance and takes time to explore.
G ET LO ST IN T H E O F SA IG O N
GET LOST IN THIS STRANGE YET ENCHANTING PLACE AND IT WILL SEEM FROM TIME TO THAT YOU ARE BACK IN THE 1990S.
Actually, from the very first moment I set foot in Saigon, I didn’t know where a peaceful secret corner of this city was. I simply thought that all I needed was to follow my heart and keep going, looking, and listening. I got on a bus connecting the center of District 1 to ChÓ LÌn. The way seemed endless. And I was overflowing with emotion when I arrived in Dist. 5, a unique residential area in bustling Saigon. A community of Chinese people have lived and earned their living here for hundreds of years. Consisting of separate apartments and buildings occasionally between community places, this area’s architecture is very special. From above, Dist. 5 looks like a giant zig zag carpet with patterns of roads and winding lanes. Be patient and follow these endless roads. Get lost in this strange yet enchanting place and it will seem from time to that you are back in the 1990s.
COLORFUL STREETS Perhaps because of its proximity to ChÓ LÌn, Chinatown is always busy. Houses are close to each other. Their first floor have been restored and decorated to serve as shops. I don’t like noisy places, but upon passing these streets, I wasn’t
bothered by the throngs of businessmen and customers. At that time, I was busy looking at the upper floors of the houses where the old architectural style has been preserved with narrow corridors, marred yellow walls, wooden windows with different colors, opencast altars with incense smoke, and various shaped windows on the wall. Old apartment buildings are considered an attractive “specialty” of Chinatown. I don’t know exactly how many apartment buildings there are in this district since I just walked about 500m to find a new buildings, but they seem to be about 50 years old. The paint on the walls have faded with time. While the old buildings in Hanoi have stairs right at the gate ways and apartments on the ground floor have their own doors, the old apartment buildings in Dist. 5 are more mysterious. It’s better to call them small residential areas than apartment buildings. They are identified with a pretty large dome gate and Chinese letters on the wall. I passed the old gate, walked some minutes along a dark lane, and got lost in a quiet sunlit yard. I felt the scent of incense somewhere and the only sound I could hear was silence. Along the yard’s two sides were long chains of houses consisting of dozens of apartments. TRAVELLIVE

They share such narrow corridors that it would be difficult for two people to go side-by-side. The apartments are small. Each of them was painted with vivid warm and cool colors which contributed to the picturesque scene.
I
could only stand silently and look around. A mixed feeling about this familiar yet mysterious place titillated me. It was like I slipped into a time warp and the surroundings were rapidly changing in front of my eyes. Suddenly, I thought I was somewhere in the 1960s. That was when Ms. Truong Man Ngoc from the film, In the Mood for Love, wore an elegant silk cheongsam, standing near a halfopened door before an apartment on the second floor. There was the young melancholy artist who seemed to have lost his train of thought. There were also a few laborers sharing an apartment from TVB - the renowned film studio in Hong Kong. My brain tried to remind me that I was in the Chinatown of Saigon in 2016, but my senses led me to a dreamy space named Little Hong Kong from more than a half decade ago. More than 50 years have passed, and changes are unavoidable. However, deep inside each person here is the thought of saving traditional customs. They save their traditional values as they save themselves. When a day of working ends, Chinese people lift off their burdens of life to go back home. They speak Cantonese. They live slowly and enjoy collective activities. They are friendly and hospitable. When noticing tourists like me wandering around, some people even offer their help, guiding me to the highest floors and the most secret hidden corners so that I could catch a glimpse of the soul of the Chinese people here.
Chinese people are known for their love of collective activities. Therefore, when they settled down in Saigon, they made much effort to build temples, assembly halls, and theaters. Apart from the Buddha, in temples and pagodas, we can also find other gods in spiritual Chinese legends such as the Tang Monk and his students in the series, Journey to the West. Assembly halls share the architectural design of many temples and pagodas. Some assembly halls are set inside famous temples. They are the places where Chinese people meet each other and share their interests. Sometimes, they hold traditional art performances. Nowadays, the assembly halls are Chinese schools where children learn Chinese. With the old beauty, all theaters and cinemas have long disappeared. A friend of mine shared that Hong Kong was most beautiful in the 1960s. Perhaps, this Little Hong Kong in Saigon is the same. Therefore, inhabitants have persisted in preserving the old beauty of this town through the years.
NEW TASTES OF STREET FOOD After exploring the area, I treated myself to delicious Chinese cuisine. Dist. 5 is popular as a street food paradise. Not only Chinese but also Vietnamese people in Saigon often visit this area to enjoy the food.
Restaurants are arranged with straight lines of dining tables. The colored glazed tile walls, clean inox tables, inox jars of green and red chopsticks, together with trolleys selling food reminded me of images of Hong Kong in the TVB movies which I watched when I was a child. Dishes are hand prepared from the heart of Chinese chefs, keeping traditional flavors and styles. Dumplings are pure white and soft. H∏ c∂o and x›u mπi are smooth and aromatic and feature meat and shrimp. The steamed sticky rice bears the scent of lotus as it is wrapped in lotus leaves. And don’t forget to try delicious fried skewers and Hong Kong - style tarts sold on the streets. After my stomach was satisfied with such delicious dishes, I had a cool Chinese drink. There are many types of drinks with sweet or bitter flavors such as daisy and seaweed which are sold from carts, at restaurants, or on the street. There are no tables or chairs for guests so you must take away or sit on the sidewalk while drinking and watching the people pass by. My one day in the Chinatown was filled with exciting new experiences. I was happy with everything I found. I wished to stay here, get lost, and live happily forever in my Little 1960s Hong Kong.

UNLIKE THE BIG AND STRONG RHINOS WITHOUT BRIGHT COLORS, THE PANGOLIN IS NICE, SIMPLE, AND AS SLOW AS FLASH IN THE CARTOON ZOOTOPIA. HOWEVER, THEY ARE BEING HUNTED BY MULTINATIONAL SMUGGLERS. TRAVELLIVE
131
Little pangolins often follow their mothers. Pangolins in Africa can stand on their two back legs like little dinosaurs
THE GREAT WRITER, ANNA DEWDNEY, DESCRIBED PANGOLINS AS SHY CHILDREN. PANGOLINS LOOK LIKE DRAGONS, AND SOME PEOPLE EVEN THINK THEY ARE A TYPE OF CROCODILE angolins are the only mammals in the world covered in scales. They look like pine cones when rolled into a ball. A strong tail enables pangolins to move among tree branches. Only few people know about pangolins (except regular drinkers!) as they live secretly, hiding themselves in the jungles of Asia and Africa. The great writer, Anna Dewdney, visited Cuc Phuong National Park to learn more about pangolins and then wrote her book Roly Poly Pangolin based on her experiences there. She described pangolins as shy children. Pangolins look like dragons, and some people even think they are a type of crocodile, but pangolins aren’t offensive. The only way they can protect themselves from predators is by curling up in a
ball and rolling as fast as they can. Pangolins are shy around strangers but so friendly to those they’re familiar with. Little pangolins often follow their mothers. Pangolins in Africa can stand on their two back legs like little dinosaurs. Pangolins would never change their simple life if humans weren’t so greedy. The scales that they use to protect themselves against predators has driven them to the brink of extinction. During peak season, from May to November each year, they are hunted for different purposes. People eat their meat, use their scales as medicine, and even steep pangolin embryos in alcohol for virility. According to data by the International Union For Conservation Of Nature (IUCN), there is one pangolin smuggled every 5 minutes. CHANGE Vietnam also shows that there are 100,000
pangolins killed to meet the demand in Asian countries each year. In some countries, pangolin meat is used to treat atopic dermatitis while its blood is believed to detoxify and heal wounds. Moreover, their scales which are shell-shaped, shiny, dark green or a greyish brown are most hunted since consumers considered them, like rhino horns, as a panacea. Another similarity to rhino horns is that pangolin scales are made of keratin, the same material from which our fingernails and hair are made. What is the difference between eating pangolin’s scales and eating our hair or fingernails? Some people even want to eat pangolin meat just because it’s expensive and precious! The price of 1 kg pangolin at restaurants is about USD350*, and each time consumers must buy at least 5kg. TRAVELLIVE
133
NO ONE KNOWS HOW MANY PANGOLINS STILL EXIST IN THE WORLD, AND FEW SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE GRADUALLY DISAPPEARING, ESPECIALLY AT A VERY HIGH RATE IN VIETNAM.
It means that they need to spend about USD1750* per meal. Vietnam and China consume the largest amount of pangolin in the world. Hunting, trading, and consuming pangolins are illegal in Vietnam. Violators may be subject to administrative sanctions or imprisonment depending on the seriousness of the violation. However, it’s alarming that you can easily find pangolin meat in many restaurants in the forests of Vietnam, from the highlands to the Northern midlands, from Central Highlands to the Mekong River Delta. Type “thfit t™ t™” (pangolin meat) into a Google search and you can get a list of restaurants with dishes prepared with pangolins and an array of websites showing how to use pangolin’s scales for beauty care. I have done a small survey with friends of mine. Two of them have no idea about pangolin, the three others know them through TV programs introducing specialties! o one knows how many pangolins still exist in the world, and few seem concerned about the fact that they are gradually disappearing, especially at a very high rate in Vietnam. As Vietnamese people are always proud of the natural treasures and the diversity of flora and fauna, they don’t need to care about preservation, do they? It’s sad that efforts to save this lovely species haven’t received attention from the community. Have you ever noticed pangolins mentioned in the media or in wildlife campaigns? It’s time for us to give a hand to create a safer environment for these shy little “pine cones” instead of parading them as “medicine” like rhino horns. *Prices: Data was from 2013, according to a report by John D. Sutter - CNN’s reporter, in CNN’s Change The List project.
* This article is written with the support of CHANGE Vietnam.
FURTHER INFORMATION: ü Organizations: The organizations working to save pangolins in Vietnam include CHANGE Vietnam, Save VietNam’s Wildlife (SVW), The Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network TRAFFIC, Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV), and the International Union For Conservation Of Nature (IUCN) ü Events: CHANGE Vietnam holds a festival about wild animals in November every year to raise Vietnamese’s awareness about wild animals, especially rhinos and pangolins. The festival provides participants with useful information, interactive activities, and training courses about laws and policy related to protect wild animals.

Promotional prices for this new route start at VND3,188,000 (Economy) and VND10,360,000 (Business). The development of this new route is a part of the airlines' plan to expand international routes up to 40 destinations in 13 countries. For further information, please visit www.malindoair.com.
The Tokyo Tourism Authority has held seminars to promote Tokyo tourism in Hanoi and HCMC. At these seminars, the organizers have provided latest information about the beautiful city, attractive destinations, and new facilities to the media and tourist agencies. Some things new in Tokyo include the famous entertainment park, Epson Aqua Park Shinagawa, which was reopened last year, the new Snoopy Museum Tokyo, Tokyo Plaza Ginza, two newly launched hotels Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho and Hoshinoya Tokyo, and Shinjuku - the largest bus stop in Japan.

DANANG Golden Sky Tower of Asia Park Danang is the highest free fall tower in Vietnam. The tower, at a height 47m is equivalent to the height of a 13-storey building, can serve 24 seats per round. Within 120 seconds, Golden Sky Tower slowly raises visitors to the top for a panoramic view of the coastal city of Da Nang, and drops them to the ground at a speed of nearly 70km per hour. The game, one of the most thrilling in the world, will bring explosive and exciting moments to people who love the excitement, which will also make them discover and conquer themselves. This is the fifth thrilling ride introduced in Asia Park this year after Sky Treasure, Love Locks, The Flying Kirins, and Singapore Sling. Golden Sky Tower brings the number of outdoor games in the park to 19.
Dong Province has approved the proposal of Lam Dong Tourism JSC to construct recreation, adventure sports and resort area, and picnic areas with a total investment of 307 billion VND. Accordingly, this recreation complex will be located in a area of 99ha in the Datanla waterfall eco-tourism area, in the complex of Tuyen Lam Lake, Dalat. The project including internal transportation infrastructure, entertainment facilities, tree houses, and more is expected to be completed by 2020. QUANG BINH The Vietnam Record Association, VietKings, said Son Doong Cave is the first and only place in the world to hold titles granted by three international world record organizations including Guinness (based in the UK), the Association World Record (based in Hong Kong) and WorldKings (based in the US and India). The cave is located in the heart of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park (Son Trach Commune, Bo Trach, Quang Binh). Geologists say the cave formed two to five million years ago. It is roughly 6.5km long, 200m high and 150m wide, becoming the largest and most stunning cave opening in the world.

Nestled on the sands of Phu Quoc Island’s stunning southwest coast, La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc MGallery by Sofitel transports you to a forgotten age of elegance. Imbued with the grandeur of a French colonial mansion and cocooned by lush tropical gardens, every detail of the 70 spacious rooms evokes an era when life was slower, simpler. More refined.
T
he birth and development of La Veranda Resort was attributed to its founder, Madame Catherine, a regal French woman with ancestral ties to Phu Quoc. More than a century of history and adventure is built into the walls and ornate furnishings of La Veranda. Madame Catherine’s grandfather was first lured from China to the sleepy backwater of Phu Quoc in the 19th century with grand visions of farming lucrative pepper crops. But the power of romance would dramatically change this family’s course. He fell in love with Madame Thanh, Catherine’s grandmother, a local woman who sells fish sauce, and together the young couple embarked on a bold journey to Phnom Penh to pioneer the beginnings of a prosperous fish sauce enterprise. Raised in Phnom Penh and on the picturesque waterways surrounding Tonle Sap Lake, Madame
Catherine’s childhood during the height of French rule inspired her designs for an authentic 1920s French colonial-style mansion by the sea - La Veranda’s charming main house. La Veranda was built in 2004 intended as a refuge for her retirement. In this land of her ancestors, she designed and decorated an authentic 1920’s French colonial sanctuary as a living monument to her family’s history. The furnishings, art works and period collectibles reflect more than a century of her family’s journey from Phu Quoc to Phnom Penh... and finally back home to their maritime roots. Since opening to travellers around the world in 2006, La Veranda Resort has been embracing guests in perfect privacy and tranquility. Through the years, the resort has won various awards for guest service and has recently won the 2016 Luxury Beachfront Boutique Hotel for Vietnam awarded by Luxury Travel guide. As it celebrates its 10th anniversary, the hotel looks back to where it all started - to a humble woman who sells fish sauce who blazed the trail for Madame Catherine, founder of luxury boutique La Veranda Resort.
