CRITIC
For Le Ngoc Bui, writing is a high-octane immersion. Her style is defined by a "sonic heartbeat," often capturing the raw, rhythmic energy of Saigon's night. She seeks out the "neon symphony" and the "uncompromising freshness" of the city.
She is a seasoned palate and a midnight explorer who believes that a city's truth is best found at 3 AM or 5 AM. From the "sizzling theatre" of an open kitchen to the "theatrical rooftop sanctuaries" of District 1, she brings the grit and the glamour of the New Wave into sharp focus.
