Truong Minh Triet

Scale comes through the titles attached to Truong Minh Triet at MAMMOM, but the work itself is still governed by precision and memory. As Executive Chef and head chef of the MAMMOM restaurant chain, he has kept the focus on dishes that are familiar in structure and exacting in execution.

At MAMMOM in Hanoi, Truong Minh Triet works with nostalgic, home-style flavors and fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu does not chase novelty; it returns instead to the dishes that anchor Vietnamese dining, where comfort, regional specificity and careful handling matter more than flourish. Among the specialties associated with his kitchen are *lẩu ếch om măng* and *mắm chưng Cần Thơ*, dishes that sit comfortably beside *bo nuong la lot* (grilled beef wrapped in piper lolot leaves), *banh goi Ha Noi* (Hanoi pillow-shaped dumplings), and *goi ngo sen tom thit* (lotus stem salad with shrimp and port).

Each brings its own texture and rhythm to the table, from the crisp and delicate to the richly aromatic. The range continues into *vit tap vung* (roasted duck with galangal and sesame), *ca loc kho tieu* (stewed snakehead fish with black pepper), and *cua rang me* (tamarind glazed crab). Taken together, those dishes define the menu Triet has curated: expressive, but never overstated; grounded, but carefully polished.

Truong's signature dishes include bo nuong la lot, banh goi Ha Noi, ca loc kho tieu, and cua rang me. These are the dishes that most clearly show the balance his cooking holds: the pleasure of something cherished, handled with steadiness and restraint.

The kitchen language here is built from memory, sourcing and restraint: enough refinement to keep each plate clear, enough fidelity to keep the cooking close to its origins. His specialty remains Vietnamese cuisine, especially home-style flavors that carry regional identity. At MAMMOM in Hanoi, that means cooking meant to feel remembered as much as prepared: precise in technique, but grounded in the everyday pleasures of Vietnamese home-style dishes and local ingredients.
