A little background on Miss Vy:
Today Hoi An is home to a myriad of restaurants catering for a variety of tastes. Local vendors ply their delicious trade on the streets, mid-range eateries offer everything from vegan to Middle Eastern food abound, while local celebrity chefs up the stakes with high end contemporary cuisine.
But not very long ago, travellers to Hoi An were a rarity. Ms Vy, one of Vietnam’s most formidable businesswomen, tapped in to the needs of travellers, and has been instrumental in changing the food culture in Hoi An.
With eight successful restaurants, a cooking school and a hotel to her name, Ms Vy is to be credited for easing nervous tourists in to Vietnam’s taste adventure.
