TASTE STUDIO

The core principles at the heart of Taste Studio Taste Studio isn’t simply about exquisite food; it’s about creating a stage for cross-disciplinary talent, fostering unique partnerships that bridge industries, and ultimately, delivering an unforgettable experience. This innovative approach resonates deeply with the established elite, a discerning clientele seeking not just luxury, but genuine discovery. Taste Studio caters to this desire by focusing on four core principles : artistic collaboration, destination-inspired experiences, physical transformation of the venue, and a surprise element for each guest. These pillars work in harmony to craft a truly unique and memorable event, capturing the essence of the Regent brand. By collaborating with artists, musicians, designers, and even fashion designers, Taste Studio creates a symphony of the senses. Each event is deeply rooted in the local culture and environment, offering an authentic taste of the destination. The physical space itself is transformed, becoming an integral part of the narrative. And finally, the element of surprise, a carefully curated gift, leaves a lasting impression, a tangible reminder of the extraordinary experience.

Revisit the remarkable Taste Studio series of Regent Phu Quoc

Since 2023, Regent Phu Quoc has brought this philosophy to life through a series of remarkable Taste Studio events, each a testament to the resort’s commitment to culinary innovation and cultural immersion: In April 2023, the resort presented “ The Dialogue Between the Land, the Sea and its People.” This theatrical culinary performance, divided into seven acts, paid homage to Phu Quoc’s rich heritage. Adding another layer of artistry, fashion designer and abstract artist, Ms. Devon Nguyen, created a bespoke “Capsule Collection” of gowns inspired by the event and the island’s natural beauty. November 2023 saw the unveiling of “ An Odyssey to Vietnam” a captivating four-night event celebrating Vietnamese folklore and mythology. Held at the reimagined Ocean Club restaurant, the event brought together culinary talents like Oku Chef de Cuisine Andy Huynh, Ocean Club Chef de Cuisine Daniel Huynh, celebrity guest chef Hoang Tung, and renowned mixologist Richard McDonough. Creative technologists AC3 Studio, local artist Pham Hong Minh, and the drum performers of Trong Dong Band further enriched the experience, weaving together a narrative inspired by the ancient Dragon and Fairy (Phoenix) myth. Most recently, in November 2024, Regent Phu Quoc hosted “The Way of the Sea” . This year’s Taste Studio seamlessly blended artistic expression, architectural design, and culinary innovation. Headlined by Spanish celebrity painter Mark Rios (Mr Dripping), local architect Nguyen Trung Nghia, and Regent Phu Quoc’s new executive chef, Francesco Andreoni, the event showcased a pop-up restaurant designed in the elegant form of a sea snail, crafted from sustainable materials like bamboo. The design reflected the rhythmic ebb and flow of the Vietnamese tides, creating a harmonious backdrop for the culinary artistry on display. Looking to the future, Regent Phu Quoc’s Taste Studio promises to continue pushing the boundaries of culinary experiences. Each upcoming event will be a fresh exploration of creativity, a new dialogue between cuisine, culture, and destination. The resort remains committed to its four core principles, ensuring that every Taste Studio is a unique and unforgettable journey, a true reflection of the Regent brand’s dedication to providing exceptional and transformative experiences.

“The Dialogue Between the Land, the Sea and its People” The exclusive multi-sensory dining journey backed in April 2023 – to coincide with the resort’s first anniversary – and immersed guests in the essence of its exotic destination.

Titled “The Dialogue Between the Land, the Sea and its People” this unique culinary occasion took the form of a theatrical play divided into seven acts, each of which paid homage to Phu Quoc’s cultural heritage. For this special collaboration, Ms. Devon Nguyen, fashion designer and abstract artist, created the “Capsule Collection” of one-of-a-kind gowns, inspired by the Regent Taste Studio, and Phu Quoc’s natural wonders.
