Sheraton Colombo Hotel is set to bring the flavours and cultural spirit of Viet Nam to Colombo with The Soul of Viet Nam, a special culinary experience presented in collaboration with the Embassy of Viet Nam in Sri Lanka and supported by Vietnam Airlines.
Taking place from September 11 to 20 at Colombo Kitchen, the promotion invites guests to explore the rich diversity of Vietnamese cuisine through a dining experience inspired by the country’s culinary traditions and regional character.
The initiative comes as part of a broader celebration of the growing cultural, tourism and business ties between Viet Nam and Sri Lanka. It also takes place at a significant time following the introduction of direct air connectivity between the two countries by Vietnam Airlines, making travel between the destinations more accessible.
For the culinary experience, Vietnamese chefs from Marriott Resort Danang, Non Nuoc Beach Villas, Chefs Yen and Dat, will join the Sheraton Colombo culinary team. Their menu will introduce guests to the distinctive balance, freshness and regional diversity that characterise Vietnamese cuisine.
The menu will feature a selection of familiar favourites alongside regional specialities, including Phở Bò, Bún Chả Hà Nội, Bánh Xèo, Gỏi Cuốn Tôm, Chả Cá Lã Vọng, Bún Bò Huế and Mỳ Quảng. Together, the dishes offer an introduction to the diverse culinary identities found across Viet Nam, from the vibrant flavours of the North and Central regions to the fresh and herb-forward characteristics associated with Vietnamese cooking.
Sheraton Colombo Hotel General Manager Paul Sun said, “Viet Nam is a destination that continues to inspire travellers through its culture, people and cuisine. We are delighted to work alongside the Embassy of Viet Nam and Vietnam Airlines to bring a taste of that experience to Colombo. With direct connectivity now making travel between our two countries more accessible, this celebration is a wonderful opportunity to build greater awareness and appreciation of Viet Nam among our guests and the wider Sri Lankan community.”
Sheraton Colombo Hotel Executive Chef on Viet Nam cuisine Chef Ramesh Kularatnam added, “Vietnamese cuisine is defined by its balance, freshness and respect for ingredients. Having chefs from Danang join our team gives us the opportunity to share knowledge and techniques while presenting our guests with an authentic perspective of Vietnamese cooking. We hope the experience encourages the guests to explore not only the dishes but also the culture and traditions that inspire them.”
The Soul of Viet Nam will be available at Colombo Kitchen from September 11 to 20, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., at Rs. 8,888 nett per person. Guests can also enjoy savings of up to 30 percent when using selected cards.
Through its collaboration with the Embassy of Viet Nam in Sri Lanka and Vietnam Airlines, Sheraton Colombo aims to make The Soul of Viet Nam more than a culinary promotion. The experience is designed to offer guests an opportunity to discover the culture, traditions and cuisine of Viet Nam while highlighting the growing connections between Viet Nam and Sri Lanka.
