Hue Royal Cuisine: Delicacy In Every Dish

Hue royal cuisine is not only delicious dishes, but also the crystallization of culture, aesthetics and sophisticated spirit typical of the ancient capital.

ORIGIN & SPIRIT OF HUE ROYAL CUISINE
Hue royal cuisine flourished under the Nguyen Dynasty – the last feudal dynasty. In the royal palace, meals had to reflect the class and demeanor of the emperor. Each dish offered to the king was carefully prepared from the ingredients to the presentation. It had to ensure the “five colors – five flavors – five elements”, while also having health-preserving and ritualistic values. This is the reason why royal cuisine is not only a culinary art but also a cultural symbol.
