Returning after a three-year hiatus, the popular traditional market-style buffet promises to continue to delight diners with its diverse and rich offerings of Central region specialties.
Every Saturday, the familiar scene of a traditional market is recreated in the space of La Sen Restaurant, with all the vivid images, sounds and typical aromas that people often encounter on the bustling streets of Hoi An. Here, visitors have the opportunity to explore local specialties displayed on wooden carts, taste snacks in bamboo baskets hung on shoulder poles - a characteristic of Vietnamese street food.
Offering a menu of over 50 dishes, many of which are cooked directly in the open kitchen, Street Food Party Night promises to bring exciting experiences and many fascinating things to discover.
Street food journey
Street food is an integral part of the multi-colored beauty of Vietnamese cuisine, and is also the gateway connecting visitors to the culture and heritage of each locality. The image of street vendors with shoulder poles or small traders with small roadside eateries seems to be very familiar to the lives of every local. “At the Street Food Night of Four Seasons The Nam Hai, Hoi An, diners can experience the vibrant atmosphere of a local market with all their senses, while still enjoying the care and amenities of the Resort”, shared Chef John Oh.
And to make the culinary experience more complete, diners will simultaneously admire fan dance performances by Vietnamese dancers in flowing ao dai, accompanied by traditional musical instruments from the monochord, zither and flute artists.
Embrace the rich nature of Hoi An
The dishes at Street Food Night are prepared entirely from local ingredients: Fresh seafood is caught from Nha Trang and Ha Long Bay, while many organic vegetables are grown right in the Resort's vegetable garden.
Unexpected flavors and cultural fusion in cooking techniques will make each dish at the party a true adventure. The diverse menu will include a wide selection of dishes such as grilled oysters, banana flower salad, Vietnamese wet rice cake with lobster, roasted suckling pig with Hoi An herbs, steamed grouper in banana leaves or grilled beef with five spices…
Seasonal, seasonal menus change subtly with the time of year. For example, the grapefruit salad uses either white or pink grapefruit, depending on the season.
