Green Tangerine pork mille-feuille, Hanoi

The French mille-feuille pastry gets a new look in Vietnam.

From Green Tangerine

But here, tender pork comes with stewed apples, local herbs, mashed carrot and taro -- layered between crispy lotus seed sheets, inspired by flaky mille-feuille French pastries.

For chef Stephane Yvin, a former biological engineer, balance is the key.

"Stephane uses the concept of yin and yang, combining Earth with the sea," explains marketing manager Celia Tran. "It's about balancing flavors which work best together."

The red grouper tartare, in particular, is a colorful demonstration of this philosophy.

Yvin pairs raw ocean fish with local tropical fruits and rau tien vua, a leafy vegetable known locally as the king's vegetable.
