"Mien" - a name that sounds simple but evokes in the mind a multi-layered meaning: from the wood flower that blooms with bright red petals represents the passion and warmth that spreads delicately in the restaurant space; it is the image of the roof hugging the house where each person returns to find peace; or that is also the level of emotions throughout the journey to experience culturally colorful tasting menus such as the "Village Festival – Central Region" which has just been launched in Mien at the end of 2024.
"Central Village" attracts to the smallest details
Relax at the dining table, you will be helped by an enthusiastic staff to spread a red napkin embroidered with delicate Moc Mien flowers. It is also the "narrator", leading you to open each dish on the menu, like chapters with a round aroma that takes you back to the poetry of the country.
More than an ordinary enjoyment experience, "Village Festival – Central Region" is like an attractive regional story, told by Mien through each flavor creation, interactive activities and meaningful space installation.
All of them evoke endless emotions in the mind, delicately making you vibrate from sight to taste. Every detail is solemn but still retains a very Vietnamese simplicity. Although taste is still the "star" of the dining table, many interesting small details are painstakingly taken care of by Mien to describe the "concept", the same tone from the restaurant context to the side experiences.
With a menu with the theme "Village Festival – Central", the restaurant prepares childhood toys for diners to warm up: paper folding firecrackers. This touch point makes you unconsciously feel like you are going through the air when you were a student, before being revealed by the "narrator" a surprise inside each page of folding firecrackers: children's poems like bustling rhymes echoing throughout the village. At the end of the song, the first dishes on the menu were also neatly and neatly laid out on the wooden table one after another. The culinary journey from here has officially begun.
The interesting thing about the menu is that even if you preview it, it is still difficult to imagine the exact shape and taste until the dish is laid out on the table.

At the heart of the menu is the "village tray" with main dishes such as ginseng, lotus rice and lotus root soup placed on a traditional brass tray, then gently transitioned to delicious desserts such as Da Lat pink shaved ice and Mu glutinous corn tea. At the end, Mien invites you to enjoy tea, eat cake and send a delicate thank you, wrapping your heart through dear words.
