Discover the exceptional 'royal advancement' meal in Saigon
The first thing to mention about the 'royal advancement' dinner is its impressively unique dishes. One might think that lilies are inedible flowers, but they become a dish fit for royalty, perfectly and meticulously prepared.
Lilies used are young buds. After cutting into bite-sized pieces, they are thoroughly washed and drained. The luffa is cleaned, peeled, and sliced into thin pieces. Once all ingredients are prepared, stir-fry the luffa with lilies seasoned to taste, then ready to serve. The slightly crunchy fragrance of lilies combined with the sweetness of luffa makes the dish harmonious and even more delicious than ever.

Moreover, the meal will look more appealing with the stewed pork belly with tangerine and honey. Diners will enjoy the slightly sour yet slightly sweet taste of tangerine complementing the rich taste of pork belly, making the meal much more appetizing. It may sound complicated, but the cooking process is quite simple, the seductive flavor of the stewed pork requires the chef to be skillful in seasoning, timing, and heat control. The addition of tangerine juice is just enough to enhance the aroma and hint of sourness. The dish must be simmered slowly to create the thick texture and fragrant aroma from the tangerine.


Despite the fancy-sounding names, these dishes are made from familiar ingredients and the cooking methods are quite simple. The flavors they bring forth represent the traditional essence of palace cuisine, specially prepared for kings and nobles to enjoy. Even after many years, these two dishes continue to satisfy diners.
