Returning from Rome, I brought back not only experiences, but also a stronger belief than ever in the value of sustainable food, equality in the F&B industry, and the vital role of women in leading that change. I believe that cuisine always begins from the heart, memories, the simplest and most genuine things. And it was truly moving to realize that, no matter where we come from, we all share one common purpose: to use food as a way to inspire, and to create positive change. For the first time, I had the honor of standing on the same stage with incredible women from around the world. The emotions are still vivid, so much pride, gratitude, and a renewed sense of energy. Thank you to FAO and the Women’s Chef Exchange @sarah.stegner for giving me the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful program. Special thank to @jeffreytlejeune and @svgrooters for the most incredible kitchen that I have ever been, And so much love to my sisters from around the world Tammy and @thisisfw , grateful for every moment with you. 19 Oct 2025 Hồng Nhung và đồng bọn. Hong Nhung and the gangs by @dieuudon 03 May 2026 Rooted in memory. Driven by reinvention. Chef Sam Tran cooked in kitchens around the world before going back to Vietnam with one idea: to stay true to the heart of Vietnamese cuisine and still look at it with fresh eyes. At Gia, the restaurant in Hanoi that she co-founded and leads as Head Chef, she reworks traditional ingredients and the cultural stories behind them with new techniques and a bold, creative approach. Her cooking connects Vietnam’s past, present and future, and familiar flavours come back in unexpected ways that stir a memory. She pushes the boundaries of tradition without losing its authenticity, and that has made her one of the key figures in Vietnam’s gastronomic scene. 📍 @gia.hanoi by @_samilicious The Best Chef Guide 2025 | 🔪 The Global Map – link in BIO #TheBestChef #TheBestChefAwards 📸 @phngthao_phm 10 Nov 2026 Four years ago, I travelled to Canada for the first time at the invitation of Chef @chefdarrenmaclean, as part of the Cultural Chef Exchange. I still remember the clear blue skies, the forests and rivers so beautiful they could have come straight out of a storybook. I went fishing, foraged for mushrooms, discovered wonderful ingredients, and saw Canada through the things Chef Darren loves and takes pride in. And finally, this year, I had the chance to welcome Chef Darren to Vietnam. This time, it was my turn to show him my home: from the energy of Ho Chi Minh City, its little streets and meals tucked away in alleyways, to the quiet charm of old Hanoi and the beauty of Ha Long Bay. Sitting together at places I love, sharing the stories behind the food, and watching a friend discover Vietnam brought me so much joy and pride. Then we found ourselves cooking side by side again, this time in the kitchen at Gia. After all the journeys, meals and conversations, we had even more to share through our cooking. Thank you, Chef Darren, for that invitation four years ago, for helping me discover Canada, and for coming to Vietnam so I could share my country with you. It means a lot to continue that journey together, here at Gia, my home. 30 Oct 2026 Leaving the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition with a full heart and renewed energy. It was a joy to be part of the jury, to witness the passion, creativity, and determination of the young chefs who represent the future of our industry. Being on this side of the table also gave me a new perspective on my own journey, and a stronger sense of responsibility towards the next generation: to make time, share what I have learned, and help create space for them to grow. A heartfelt congratulations to all the contestants. Each of you brought something unique to the table, and you should be incredibly proud of how far you have come. Winning is only one part of the journey. What matters most is the courage to challenge yourself, the willingness to keep learning, and the passion to keep moving forward. I can’t wait to see where your journeys take you next. A special thank you to the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy team and everyone behind the scenes for bringing together such a meaningful event. Thank you for creating a platform where young talents can be seen, heard, and inspired, and for reminding us of the importance of supporting the future of our industry. So grateful for the people I met, the conversations we shared, and the energy everyone brought to this experience. I came to share my experience and left with so much to learn, too. 🤍 P/s: My room number is my birthday. A little sign of good luck! #sanpellegrino #spyyoungchefacademy 25 Oct 2026 Reflecting on two unforgettable nights that we will cherish for a long time. Together, we brought this menu to life with so much love, passion, and dedication. @eight_cdn The Gia kitchen was alive with boundless energy, creativity, and joy. Thank you, Chef Darren @chefdarrenmaclean and Chef Keisuke @keisuke_4220 for bringing your expertise, fresh perspectives, and inspiring passion to our space. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this extraordinary experience! — Gia Restaurant 61 Văn Miếu, Hà Nội #giarestaurant #Hanoi #Vietnam #vietnamesefood #michelinguide 15 Oct 2026 Gia Hanoi (@gia.hanoi) is one of Tatler Asia’s Best 100 Restaurants in 2025, and was founded by head chef @_samilicious and @its_a_long_journey with the hope of showcasing Hanoi’s cultural practices through a tasting menu. Find takes on Vietnamese street food culture, like the act of pairing peanuts and cold beer by the roadside or grilled dishes during communal gatherings, reimagined through chef Sam’s creative lens. #TatlerDiningMY #TatlerTastes 28 Sep 2026 Vậy là cuối cùng, mọi thứ cũng đã thành hình. Sau hơn hai năm ấp ủ, xây rồi lại đập, đến rồi lại đi, căn nhà mang tên “190” cuối cùng cũng đã hoàn thành. Đây không chỉ là nơi những concept được đặt cạnh nhau, mà còn là thành quả từ sự nỗ lực không ngừng của nhiều tập thể và của những con người mà tôi vẫn thường gọi là “siêu nhân”. Cảm ơn tất cả vì đã tin tưởng chị, vì không bỏ cuộc; vì những đêm thức trắng, những cơn đau đầu, những giọt nước mắt và cả những cái ôm động viên nhau (ew). Hội chị em 190 (cùng một vài anh em) xin chính thức ra mắt quý vị và các bạn. Mời mọi người ghé thăm căn nhà 190, ăn miếng kem, uống miếng cà phê, thử miếng gà xá kén, nhấp cốc bia chanh dây, rồi cùng ngồi lại, cùng trải nghiệm, cùng khám phá những món ăn của chúng tôi và tận hưởng những khoảnh khắc thật vui bên nhau. Hẹn gặp mọi người tại 190 Đề Thám, TP. Hồ Chí Minh nhé! HA, we’ll see you soon. 17 Aug 2026 Michelin is coming to Aru. Hanoi’s Gia (@gia.hanoi) is bringing its acclaimed tasting menu to Melbourne. Gia’s culinary excellence has earned it a @michelinguide star for four consecutive years (a first for Vietnam), and ranks on @tatlermagazine’s Best 100 Restaurants in Asia. Sam Tran (@_samilicious), co-owner and head chef, is the first Vietnamese woman to ever be awarded a Michelin star. Early in her career, Tran worked at The Windsor Group before reuniting with Aru for our @melbfoodandwine Four Hands dinner in 2023. Guided by her memories of the city and the produce bridging winter and spring, Tran will utilise ingredients like local clams and new-season asparagus alongside fermented rice, and the Aussie staple she grew to love: Vegemite. September 1 & 2 from 5.30pm** 8-course tasting menu, $235pp Tasting menu with beverage pairing, $360pp Non-alcoholic pairing, $75pp With a limited number of seats per evening, reservations are essential. Details via the link in our bio. Please note that Gia at Aru will take place at 268 Little Collins Street. 29 Jul 2026 CHEF SAM TRẦN: MỘT GÓC NHÌN RIÊNG VỀ NGUYÊN LIỆU TRONG ẨM THỰC VIỆT Với Chef Sam Trần, một món ăn không bắt đầu từ mong muốn tạo ra điều gì thật khác biệt, mà từ việc lắng nghe chính nguyên liệu. “Tôi luôn tiếp cận nguyên liệu theo cách của riêng mình, từ khi còn nhỏ cho đến bây giờ. Đó không phải là góc nhìn của một đầu bếp hay một người kinh doanh, mà đơn giản là cách tôi quan sát và cảm nhận.” Sau nhiều năm làm việc và sáng tạo trong những căn bếp tại Australia, Chef Sam trở về Việt Nam và cùng Long Trần xây dựng Gia - nơi cô đã dẫn dắt căn bếp trong gần bốn năm qua. Từ mong muốn mang đến một trải nghiệm ẩm thực cao cấp, hiện đại nhưng vẫn giữ trọn tinh thần và bản sắc Việt, Gia trở thành không gian để những giá trị quen thuộc được nhìn lại qua một lăng kính mới. Cách tiếp cận ấy đã đưa Chef Sam đến những dấu mốc đáng nhớ: MICHELIN Guide Young Chef Award 2023, cùng 1 Sao MICHELIN đầu tiên cho Gia trong cùng năm. Cô cũng hai lần liên tiếp nhận 1 Knife tại The Best Chef Awards vào năm 2024 và 2025. Năm 2025, Gia tiếp tục được ghi nhận trong danh sách Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants – nhóm Top 51–100. Với Chef Sam Trần, mỗi nguyên liệu đều có một câu chuyện riêng. Người đầu bếp chỉ cần đủ thời gian để lắng nghe, thấu hiểu và tìm ra cách kể phù hợp nhất, cũng như cách cô tiếp tục cùng Gia viết nên câu chuyện riêng cho ẩm thực Việt. ---- Subscribe @monopole.vn The Art of Discovery by Monopole 🍇 @_samilicious @gia.hanoi @michelinguide #monopole #chefsam #giahanoi #michelinrestaurant 23 Jul 2026 Two nights. One kitchen. So many memories. Thank you, Chef @donbaldosano and the entire Linamnam team, for flying all the way to Hanoi to cook with us. Every collaboration is different, but this one felt incredibly special. It was a chance for us to share not only our food, but also our stories, our cultures, and the way we see Southeast Asian cuisine. There were so many conversations in the kitchen, so much laughter during prep, and so much respect for each other’s craft. Thank you for your generosity, your trust, and for bringing a little piece of the Philippines to Gia. It was an honour to cook alongside all of you. I truly believe collaborations like this remind us that food has no borders. We may come from different countries, but we speak the same language in the kitchen. Until next time. Maraming salamat. 🇵🇭❤️🇻🇳 09 Jul 2026 Having Linamnam in Gia’s home has been an absolute pleasure, and now we can finally share glimpses of the journey Chef Don, Chef Sam, and their teams have spent days preparing. Our sincere gratitude to Chef Don, the Linamnam team, and every guest who shared the two evenings with us. Thank you for being part of an unforgetable collaboration. 🤍 — Gia Restaurant 61 Văn Miếu, Đống Đa, Hà Nội #giarestaurant #Hanoi #Vietnam #vietnamesefood #michelinguide 08 Jul 2026
