About Us
Nén is a hybrid between garlic and shallot and is an obscure spice only known about in the countryside surrounding Danang.
Nén represents our Chef’s philosophy: to create tasty and beautiful dishes that highlight the unpopular, overlooked and otherwise disappearing ingredients/techniques in traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Or sometimes the inspiration simply comes from a memory that she holds dear. Throughout that process, we try not to lose our identity and stay true to the essence of Vietnamese cuisine: freshness and balance of flavors.
Home-Made & Home-Grown
Our goal is to produce as much ingredients by ourselves as possible. Most of the herbs, fruits and flowers that we use to cook with are home-grown in our ground and rooftop gardens.
We are also proud of our self-made range of ingredients such as fish sauce, pickles, chili sauce, liquors, etc. to ensure the best quality control and customisation.
