Guest chef Ryan Nguyễn Cường from D’LANG Dining, Đà Lạt

Recently, Mad Cow Wine & Grill hosted 'From Peak to Tides', the debut event of a guest chef series at Pullman Hai Phong Grand Hotel. This extraordinary dining experience featured Chef Ryan Nguyễn Cường of D’LANG Dining in Đà Lạt – a talent recognised by Michelin Selections, renowned for his seasonal, nature-driven approach to cuisine.

Rooted in the harmony of the land, Cường’s philosophy seamlessly connects the highlands of Đà Lạt with the abundant coastal flavours of Hải Phòng.

A tribute to the Northern coast, the chilled Hạ Long oyster is a standout creation from the exclusive menu. It is elevated through meticulous technique and vibrant floral notes, exquisitely finished with cherry blossom vinegar, a hint of syrup and fragrant chive oil.

A touch of red yuzu kosho infuses citrus heat, while a peanut praline adds a delicate crunch and nutty richness, completing this refined expression of coastal elegance.
