Welcoming 2026, Sheraton Nha Trang Hotel & Spa has just officially launched a new culinary theme called "From Milan to Nha Trang" - a typical buffet at Feast restaurant.
According to representatives of the organizing unit, the core value of the theme "From Milan to Nha Trang" lies not in the sophistication of the form, but in the story behind the kitchen.
It is a journey of intersection between Italian cuisine and the sea flavor of Central Vietnam, told with emotions and personal memories.
Chef Marco from Italy has spent nearly half a year exploring and experiencing the ingredients from the sea of Khanh Hoa land.
And the most touching moment was when he first stood in the same kitchen with his parents - those who had traveled halfway around the world from Italy to Vietnam, to cook together and share family stories through interweaving cuisine.
Sharing at the event, chef Marco said that the launch was not only an opportunity to introduce a new topic, but also a very personal moment for him personally. The dishes at the Italian counter this time are family memories, expressed by the combination of Italian cuisine and Vietnamese flavors.
The culinary journey of diners begins with Arancini braised beef - a fried rice ball inspired by Sicily street food, freshened with Vietnamese braised beef filling.
Next is Nha Trang seafood spaghetti, where traditional Italian pasta blends with the fresh seafood of the Central Coast.
The intersection of East - West continues to be expressed through pizza pho ga, when the culinary symbol of Naples combines with the familiar flavor of Vietnamese pho.
In the main dish, Vietnamese beef breast stewed with herbs brings the depth of traditional Italian slow cooking techniques, refreshed with local herbal flavors.
The highlight of the performance at the Italian counter is local carp cooked in the Cartoccio oven, applying paper or salt wrapping grilling techniques typical of Italian cuisine, helping to retain the natural sweetness and create an impressive visual effect.
The party was balanced with a light, fresh Italian-style Nha Trang seafood salad, before closing with tiramisu - a classic Italian dessert or tropical lemongrass cake, imbued with Southeast Asian cuisine.
Ms. Nguyen Hoai - a tourist from Da Nang excitedly explored the Italian food counter - the highlight of this theme, besides the familiar richness of buffets with fresh seafood and diverse international dishes.
Ms. Hoai expressed her feeling very impressed with the new flavor, not only the meal but also leaving me with many emotions about a multicultural Nha Trang, blending and not dissolving.
