MY STORY

Mr. Minh Thai Nguyen
Founder and CEO
Le-Ng Consulting Limited b.a.

Hello! I am Chef Minh Nguyen, a chef from Vietnam. I currently live and work in Budapest, Hungary. I fell in love with cooking at the age of 15 because I wanted to find a job to help support my family. I started my career as a kitchen helper in restaurants, hotels, and other food establishments in Ho Chi Minh City. After a while, I was promoted to sous chef at a large restaurant in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City. However, I was not satisfied with my current skill level and wanted to change my life and learn new things about cooking.

At the age of 20, I decided to leave Vietnam and move to Europe to work in countries such as Denmark, Germany, and Poland. My time in Aarhus, Denmark, was a turning point in my life. I became the head chef of a mid-range restaurant in this city, which is considered to be a culinary Mecca. With my team, we rose to the position of top Asian restaurant in the city for two consecutive years after only six months of opening. However, our goals and visions diverged, and I decided to leave my position as head chef to move to Germany to learn more from top chefs in high-end restaurants.

VISION

With the dream of conquering all international diners and creating a modern, fresh Vietnamese cuisine brand with the unique flavor of home, after 3 years of searching in Vietnam from the seafood in the islands to the remote border highlands, Minh Nguyen wants to create a clearer path for Vietnamese chefs to access and work in countries around the world, especially Europe. He wants to work with all like-minded colleagues to achieve this dream.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.”
