Viet Nam, Cam Ranh. September 04, 2018

The Anam has welcomed two new senior recruits who bring more than two decades of combined experience to the food and beverage team behind the beachfront property on Vietnam's southern coastline.

The Anam's general manager Herbert Laubichler-Pichler announced the appointments of Ye Chang Sheng and Vu Thi Huong Giang to the positions of executive chef and director of F&B respectively in the lead up to the resort's opening of a sports bar and grill by the beach.

After receiving two diplomas in international hotel management and professional cooking, Sheng, a Chinese national, embarked on his career a decade ago as a chef de partie with Radisson Blu in Sandton Johannesburg, South Africa. He quickly rose up the ranks in a career that has seen him heat up the frying pan for some of the world's most acclaimed luxury hotel brands including InterContinental and Hilton in South Africa and Seychelles.

Describing himself as a “self-motivated, hands-on chef who prefers to lead by example”, Sheng helmed the kitchen at nearby Mia Resort Nha Trang as executive chef for two years before joining the Anam.

After graduating from Nha Trang University with a major in food processing, Ms Giang, a Vietnamese national, started her career in 2004 as a waitress at Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, where she steadily climbed the career ladder over a decade to become a food and beverage manager. She has also worked for Vinpearl Land and Mia Resort in Nha Trang.

“Sheng and Giang are seasoned professionals who bring rich and diversified experience to the table,” Laubichler-Pichler said. “They will no doubt further propel our aspirations to deliver an unsurpassed level of hospitality as one of Vietnam's top F&B destinations.”

The duo said they were focused on building on the resort's current culinary landscape by creating even more authentic dining experiences and further fostering staff training and development.

In addition to its all-day dining restaurant The Indochine, Vietnamese Lang Viet Restaurant and Bar overlooking Long Beach, fine dining restaurant The Colonial and Saigon Bar offering tapas and other specialties, the resort will unveil its Sports Bar and Grill by December.

Sheng said the bar and grill, situated by the beach next to the resort's water sports center, would make for a casual setting serving up top-quality steaks and gourmet German sausages. 

The Anam is a member of Worldhotels and recognized as 'World Luxury'.
