Since the end of April this year, The Fan BBQ restaurant on the beach of Furama resort has opened its doors to welcome diners with a new look, containing many cultural features of prosperous Champa and ancient Vietnam. With the intention of creating a difference from the usual BBQ restaurant architecture, the designer and Deputy General Director of Furama resort - Mr. Nguyen Duc Quynh, has breathed life into the long-standing cultural features of ancient Champa.
The unique feature of this architectural style is the roof shaped like a Vietnamese paper fan leaning against the rough brick wall with the breath of Champa. With a moderate angle between the fan roof and the wall and a 180-degree open space, diners can enjoy smoky dishes with a full view of the sea. The open design creates a sense of privacy when it is windy or rainy outside but still brings coolness in the middle of hot summer days.
The beauty of Cham-Vietnamese architecture lies in each individual detail, reflecting the characteristics of the two cultures. Entering the restaurant, diners are immersed in the Champa dynasty, present on the main wall with four elaborate reliefs created by the hands of artist Hoang Thanh Truyen - a northerner with a passion for Cham architecture and culture. Under the fan roof covered with whole bamboo and rattan plywood are Hoi An lanterns, used to light up the space here.
Colorful butterflies are cleverly hung inside the lamps, both "softening" the dry bamboo sticks and allowing them to sway in the wind, creating a joyful feeling. If you pay close attention, the central oven of the restaurant also reminds you of the image of the smoke stove in most Northern houses during the French colonial period. Moreover, on the rough cement floor with the image of the ancient Vietnamese ash-mixed soil floor are frangipani flowers - a typical flower of Cham culture, skillfully shaped by the hands of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son - an artisan of Furama.
Diners will enjoy more than 30 grilled dishes made from veal tenderloin and beef imported from Australia, the US, Kobe beef from Japan, ribs, pork fillet, lamb, chicken and seafood. The highlight of The Fan's culinary style is also shown through the accompanying sauces such as: mushroom sauce, cheese sauce, onion mustard sauce, black pepper sauce... creating the unique flavor of each dish.
