Boi Tran is a painter and something of a throwback, an anomaly, a creature from another, earlier time in the life of the onetime Imperial City. She also cooks, magnificently from a repertoire of Imperial Hue-era dishes numbering over 100. She spoils all of us with a succession of dishes. Small, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And that culinary tradition, which gave Hue its reputation as a food capital, continues today.
It seems a special shame to dig in without first having a look at dishes designed by this cultured city’s most renowned artist Boi Tran, one of the remarkable women who have used their homes to help revive their hometown’s food culture.
Many of the old culinary traditions live on, and today, Hue cuisine is held to be Vietnam’s most delicious and diverse. A visit to Ancient Hue, a home restaurant and gallery of an eccentric, elegant artist and chef Boi Tran, gives visitors an inkling of what a royal banquet and a meal crafted.

In Hue, flavors whisper where history once roared, a quiet kingdom of tastes, where each dish is a gentle invitation to slow down, to listen, and to remember.
Boi Tran Garden was privileged to welcome a delegation of Singapore’s cultural leaders for a quiet afternoon of art, memory, and shared heritage. Over paintings, ancestral cuisine, and warm conversation, what unfolded was more than a visit; it was a gentle affirmation that beauty, when offered with sincerity, becomes a lasting connection.
