A Culinary Story Told In Colors
At The Monkey Gallery DINING, the tasting menu Magical Ticket – Palette /ˈpælət/ celebrates Vietnam’s culinary soul through a sensory journey of color, memory, and flavor. Reinvented each year with a new theme, the menu invites guests to explore ever-changing landscapes — from mist-covered forests to coastal depths — in an experience as evocative as it is unforgettable.
The Hidden Luxury of Everyday Things
In a quiet kitchen above a Saigon street, Chef Hậu Trần redefines fine dining— not with imported truffles or rare caviar, but with the soulful, often overlooked ingredients of his homeland. At The Monkey Gallery DINING, every dish tells a story. A spoonful of fermented paste, a trace of hand-ground salt—these are his brushstrokes, painting Vietnam not as a destination, but as a memory.
