Sto:ry Menu #3: “Light”

We love the word “Light”. So familiar yet mysterious. Deep but also weightless. It is the namesake of our restaurant and represents our quest: to shed a new light on Vietnamese cuisine.

A summer breeze

Freshly-picked herbs

The set of rings around a black hole

Those are all manifestations of “Light” when we think about it.
Introducing Sto:ry Menu#3: Light, a collection of ideas and stories on Vietnamese cuisine and ingredients by Executive Chef Summer Le, with “Light” as the central inspiration.
