This is why he restored the space taking into account the old lifestyle. The restaurant also serves “landowner” meals. The name Dong Duong Xu Quan, which means the Indochinese restaurant is partly derived from it, recalling an ancient era with space and rustic dishes.

Mr. Nguyen Trung Thanh shared: “Currently, we are testing the “cooking together with your children” program, in order to teach skills to young children, create a space for relaxation, and create emotional ties between family members by preparing a meal together”. At the same time, a space for team building games is being built, plants of new varieties are being planted on trial, a check-in garden is created, and many interesting experiences are added.
