The Story of Chef La Thua An

Vietnamese by birth, Chef An and his family left their home in Hue when he was only 6 years old. While they had the good fortune to be able to join an uncle who had already established himself in France, the move necessitated a change in career for his father. Though he had been the Principal of a school in Hue, in France his employment options were few, so he took work at a Chinese restaurant that belonged to a friend of the family.

School for young An was French, but home remained Vietnamese. By the age of 13, he had begun his culinary education, helping to cook the Cantonese style dishes served by the restaurant his family worked at. 

By the age of 17, he had enrolled in culinary school at August Escoffier, where he became known as an excellent student. The mix of Chinese, Vietnamese, and French influences he had been raised with inspired a bit of rebelliousness in the more traditional French setting of the school, but his eagerness to learn as well as his willingness to question earned him the respect of his instructors.

Upon graduating, the quest to hone his craft took him to some of the finest resorts in Asia. Running luxury Restaurant from New Caledonia to St Maarten, he finally returned to Vietnam in 2008. Capturing culinary hearts at the restaurants of some of the finest resorts here, in 2018 his need for creative expression led him to open his own restaurant in Da Nang, The Temptation.

Art is a reflection of the artist, and The Temptation is Chef An’s canvas. The exotic flavors of his origins, the rich complexity of his upbringing, and the inventive curiosity of his nature are tempered and brought together by the refined sophistication of haute cuisine. The results are dishes that tempt not just the palate, but the soul.

Excellent

Amazing experience, staff attentive and lovely. Food exquisite. The whole experience was a culinary delight. One criticism would be that the wine could be poured with more generosity considering the prices. Although at the same time the price were reasonable. The staff are so sweet and kind. Always explaining how things should be experienced. I thank you and adored my first time in a Michigan restaurant xxx

Is our first time having french cuisine in a French Restaurant. We celebrate our wedding anniversary here. The Lady (sorry forgot the name) introduce each dish she served with smile and guide us how to enjoy the food. We also thanks to the Chef who compliments us a set of Appetizer. We ordered 1 set and extra main course. The food is delicious and each dish is like a piece of art. We really enjoy our dinner and had a great experience.

Great experience

We had the pleasure of having dinner here for my husband’s birthday. What a treat. It was not a dinner, it was an experience. From the beautiful amuse-bouche to the surprise jewel box treats at the end of the meal. Everything was outstanding. I highly recommend you treat yourself this restaurant if you’re in Da Nang. Yes, I had to pay the reservation fee of 1,000,000 VND but it was deducted from our bill. I think it’s a reasonable ask so they can recoup a small fee in the event of a no show.

The foods and wine pairings were great. I love the foie gras with truffle and the durian with dark chocolate. The lamb (medium rare) was superb. Very tasty
