What makes Michelin starred and award winning restaurants special?

"Stars" is the rating system of Michelin Guide , the world's most prestigious culinary rating organization. One star is for a restaurant "with delicious food, worth stopping to enjoy"...

No elaborate variations in seasoning, because Cantonese cuisine honors pure flavors and the input ingredients are the decisive factor for perfect flavor. FB Long Trieu Restaurant

Cantonese cuisine is a balance between natural elements and human health - cool dishes for hot seasons and warm, rich dishes for winter. FB Long Trieu Restaurant

Therefore, the restaurant also prioritizes using fresh ingredients of the day and according to the season so that each dish when it comes to diners always maintains the most stable form. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the heritage, the restaurant launched a special menu introducing a luxurious culinary journey with 10 famous dishes that made the name of Long Trieu such as crispy roasted royal chicken, hundred-flower crab claws fried with sturgeon eggs, Thai Chi bird's nest, shark fin mixed with crab meat with soup, fried sea prawns with garlic and soy sauce, shark fin and fish maw stewed with coconut, traditional Chinese lotus leaf fried rice, Yunnan smoked bacon stir-fried with collard greens and pigeon, and melted lava meatballs.

With a prime location, the restaurant is located in an ancient villa with French architecture and large windows, an open space filled with natural light, bringing a sense of closeness and modernity. Famous for its a la carte menus with traditional and modern influences, combining fresh ingredients with creativity in seasoning and spices, creating a cultural adventure - a subtle blend between Vietnam and the international. Hibana by Koki - the only Japanese cuisine in Vietnam to receive a Michelin star 2024

Hibana by Koki - the only Japanese-style restaurant in Vietnam to receive a Michelin star for 2 consecutive years 2023, 2024

This honor is probably due to the unique Teppanyaki (hot table cooking) style at Hibana. Hibana is run by Chef Yamaguchi. His culinary creations are not only visually impressive, but also excellently “pamper” the taste buds of diners, reflecting the harmonious combination of umami (the fifth taste), kansha (deep respect for ingredients) and omotenashi (the art of Japanese hospitality).

Teppanyaki at the restaurant is like a journey of the senses, through the delicate flavors of Japan, meticulously prepared and served in private rooms, with a traditional sake bar and the chef's Teppanyaki table.

In a rustic yet sophisticated space with warm brown tones, in front of the teppan table, diners will be led into an "emotional house", to wait with the Japanese chef for dishes made from fresh ingredients of the highest quality. Premium Yaeyama Kyori beef is meticulously prepared on the teppan table, at low temperatures, for nearly an hour, to create a rich, lingering "umami" flavor when enjoyed. In addition, sea bass from the Sea of Japan or hairy crab from the cold waters of Hokkaido..., the ingredients used at Koki are also not easily found in famous restaurants around the world. The restaurants selected by Michelin this year are expected by many to contribute to raising the position of Vietnamese cuisine and tourism on the international map.
