Chef at one of Vietnam's top restaurants.
Chef Uyen was born on Phu Quoc Island, one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam, renowned for producing 80% of the country’s fish sauce, which is made from local anchovies. These fish sauce refineries are considered some of the best in the world. Inspired by her mother’s love for cooking, Chef Uyen left her native island to study at the Saigon Tourist Culinary School in Ho Chi Minh City.
She began her career at a local restaurant specializing in Hue City-style cuisine, where she mastered the ancient traditions of Vietnamese cooking. Her talents led her to Hoa Tuc Restaurant, one of Vietnam’s top dining establishments, where she continued to refine her skills. Hoa Tuc is known for redefining Vietnamese cuisine with endless creativity and the highest quality ingredients. The restaurant has been featured in publications such as Elle Magazine (France & Luxembourg), Geo Magazine, and in-flight magazines for Etihad Airlines, Air France, and Air Asia, among others.
In 2017, Chef Uyen became a cooking instructor at Hoa Tuc, allowing her to share her passion and knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine with travelers worldwide. This role also allowed her to learn about global cuisines and cultures. She’s excited to welcome you into her kitchen and guide you through the rich flavors of Vietnamese cuisine!
