Staged for four consecutive nights from 19-22 April 2023, “The Dialogue Between the Land, the Sea and its People” transported guests on a multi-sensory journey into the island’s cultural and culinary heritage
Regent Phu Quoc, IHG Hotels & Resorts’ sparkling jewel on Vietnam’s “Pearl Island,” has successfully staged its inaugural Regent Taste Studio, a one-of- a-kind, interactive dining experience that brought together leading local talent from the worlds of art, design, fashion and gastronomy in a four-day creative showcase.
This exclusive multi-sensory dining journey ran from 19th to 22nd April 2023 – to coincide with the resort’s first anniversary – and immersed guests in the essence of its exotic destination. Titled “The Dialogue Between the Land, the Sea and its People,” this unique culinary occasion took the form of a theatrical play divided into seven acts, each of which paid homage to Phu Quoc’s cultural heritage.
For this special collaboration, Ms. Devon Nguyen, fashion designer and abstract artist, created the “Capsule Collection” of one-of-a-kind gowns, inspired by the Regent Taste Studio, and Phu Quoc’s natural wonders.
Act 1 of the evening, “Symbiosis,” was staged at The Gallery and featured a reimagined Artist’s Studio with a live demonstration of pearls from Ngoc Hien Pearl Farm and a jewelry-making workshop.
This opening act set the stage for the rest of the evening, which drew inspiration from the connections between the land and sea and how these two worlds are interpreted through art and gastronomy. The first gown from Devon Nguyen’s collection was also presented in the re- imagined Gallery.
