In a private collaboration with La Prairie, Chef Alain Pham and the team at Aiii House curated a bespoke dining experience that explored the meeting point between haute skincare and contemporary Vietnamese cuisine.

Founded in Switzerland and internationally renowned for its pioneering use of caviar, La Prairie represents a philosophy of luxury defined by precision, restraint, and time. Rooted in cellular science and rare ingredients, the brand’s universe is one of quiet excellence - where refinement reveals itself through detail rather than display.

This sensibility became the guiding principle of the collaboration.

Hosted within Aiii House’s signature green-hued interior, the experience unfolded as a composed dialogue between space, texture, and taste. Rather than mirror La Prairie’s identity literally, the menu translated its values into a culinary language: purity of flavor, controlled richness, and an understated sense of indulgence.

Each dish was conceived to feel light yet expressive, echoing the brand’s approach to skincare — nourishing without excess, sensorial without heaviness. Delicate marine notes, natural umami, and subtle textural contrasts recalled the essence of caviar, while fresh, seasonal ingredients anchored the menu in balance and clarity.

For Alain Pham, the collaboration offered an opportunity to explore luxury beyond spectacle. The focus remained on craftsmanship, rhythm, and the emotional resonance of simplicity - allowing ingredients to unfold gradually, much like La Prairie’s philosophy of long-term beauty.

More than a brand collaboration, the evening stood as a reflection on contemporary luxury itself: discreet, intentional, and deeply attentive to the experience it creates. Though the moment has passed, its atmosphere lingers - a reminder that the most meaningful expressions of luxury often speak in a quiet voice.
