FROM YANGON TO MUMBAI Embark on a Burmese Culinary Odyssey This April, as Thingyan, the Burmese New Year, ushers in new beginnings, By The Mekong at St. Regis Mumbai transforms into a vibrant dining experience as Chef Phyu Cyn, Myanmar’s celebrated Chef Goo Goo, takes over for an exclusive two night showcase on April 17th and 18th. Known for her ability to weave emotion and heritage into every bite, Chef Goo Goo brings the soulful spirit of Burmese cuisine to the table, blending authentic street style flavours with a refined global touch. From tangy tea leaf salads bursting with history to comforting bowls of mohinga steeped in tradition, every dish tells a story of compassion (‘mettā’) and intention (‘cetanā’), philosophies central to her craft. Shaped by her upbringing in Yangon and stints across Bangkok and Paris, Goo Goo’s dishes are both nostalgic and progressive, a delicious convergence of heritage and creativity. This sensory experience is brought to life in collaboration with Dean With Us, helmed by Akanksha and Rupali Dean, renowned for curating unique cross cultural dining narratives. Paired with St. Regis Mumbai’s commitment to culturally rich and immersive events, this pop up is more than a meal, it’s a joyous celebration of Burmese flavours, culture, and the spirit of Thingyan.

An unforgettable evening where Saigon met Mumbai✨ With world-class champion Thep Dinh and Chef Nhan Ngo at the helm, the experience unfolded through bold Vietnamese flavours and elevated cocktail artistry. #StRegisMumbai #ByTheMekong

A whirlwind week in Hong Kong, where street side bites met Michelin stars, and every meal told a story. Between the buzz of Asia’s 50 Best talks , Restaurant Awards and dazzling after parties, we stole moments for skyline views and slow pauses. Flavours, energy, and endless inspiration, this city never stops surprising. Safe to say, one week here is simply not enough. #hongkong #travel #food

Vietnam, but not on my passport; on my palate. 🇻🇳🍸 From betel leaf wraps to broths that deserve their own fan club, this pop-up didn’t just feed me, it raised my standards. Pho that reset my comfort scale. Desserts that felt emotional. Cocktails that went down smoother than most situationships. 📍 Location: EAST, @jwmarriottblrgolfshire This wasn’t just dinner. This was a taste upgrade. Save this. Send this. And start budgeting for Vietnam.

And it’s a wrap !

Rocking it in Bengaluru! #tasteofsaigon #deanwithus #jwbengaluru
