From Probiotic Power Bowls to Prawn Spring Rolls, Pho to Pulled “Pork” Mushroom Burgers, the new all day dining menu at TIA Wellness Resort’s Ocean Bistro balances creative plant-based cuisine with fresh ocean-caught bounty, while staying true to an overall culinary wellness philosophy that prioritises nutritious, flavorful and real food.

The revamped menu, which launched this month, is a complete overhaul of the previous offering, with new menu items accounting for 80% of the menu.
Each dish is given a wellness rating on the menu under the resort’s ‘Eat Light, Feel Bright’ philosophy, so guests can make informed decisions when choosing their meal. The scale ranges from 1-10, with most dishes scoring under five.
Lighter dishes include a number of the plant-based and seafood options, such as the Probiotic Power Bowl in the new Vitality Bowls section, a gut-nourishing blend of tempeh, brown rice, beets, cauliflower, rocket, pickled capsicum, cabbage, walnuts and cucumber pickles; and Banh Mi Chay, a vegan version of Banh Mi that uses a mushroom pate and sauteed shiitakes, among other vegetables.
“We believe that wellness is about balance and not about being restrictive,” explained Ramon Imper, general manager of TIA Wellness Resort. “With that in mind, we also offer more indulgent menu items that still use the best ingredients and whole foods.”
Examples of dishes that fall on the higher end of the scale include artisan beef burgers.
The new menu also balances western additions, such as the creative power burgers including a Prawn Charcoal Burger and a selection of pasta dishes, along with local Vietnamese favorites. The Soulful Noodles selection includes Cao Lau, in a pork or plant-based version.

“All our soulful Vietnamese noodle dishes are available in plant-based options,” added Ramon. “When designing our menus it was important to us that those who follow a plant-based diet were able to taste the traditional and famous flavors of Vietnam. We have put a lot of thought and effort into our vegan offerings.”
A range of tapas style dishes, ideal for sharing, have been added from the Wholesome Bites section of the menu to Seafood Nibbles, with choices like calamari and scallops. There is also an Elemental Grill section including lobster and squid.
Sweet endings include a Coconut Sundae with coconut nice cream and fresh tropical fruits, and a Salted Peanut Butter Bar. All dishes have no added sugar and instead draw their sweetness from natural sources.
Prices range from VND 95,000 - VND 890,000 with the average cost of dinner for two at VND 1,400,000.
There are a range of new set menus, including one featuring Vietnamese favorites, and new ocean-inspired special daily dishes.
