(QNO) – Tucked away in a quiet alley behind the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge in Hoi An city (Quang Nam province), Karichampa is quietly winning hearts among travelers seeking to experience the rich culinary flavors of the Cham people.
Tucked behind Hoi An’s Japanese Covered-Bridge, Karichampa is a quiet culinary gem offering a unique taste of Cham culture.
Owner Kieu Maily invites guests to set aside their usual expectations of curry and cao lau, and embrace new, soulful flavors. The menu features three signature dishes: Cham-style curry, Hoi An noodles with beef, and sweet potato salad, each rooted in tradition but reimagined with creativity.
Cham curry, revived from community kitchens in An Giang, is rich in herbs and natural spices, served in handcrafted clay pots. The Hoi An noodles offer a fresh twist with beef replacing pork, celebrating local ingredients in a new form.
Karichampa focuses on minimal, fresh, locally sourced ingredients from Hoi An and Phan Rang, delivering flavor that’s both authentic and nourishing.
Founded by Kieu Maily, Vietnam’s only recognized Cham Culinary Culture Artisan, Karichampa brings ancient Cham recipes back to life. Carefully restored from family traditions and reimagined with modern presentation, her dishes, like Cham-style curry, Hoi An noodles, and sweet potato salad, offer diners both authenticity and creativity.
More than satisfying taste, Karichampa shares stories. Each plate reflects Maily’s love for her roots and her desire to preserve a fading culture through food.
With an extended menu that includes rare Cham specialties and a rich selection of vegetarian dishes, Karichampa also caters to Halal diners, making it a meaningful stop for culturally curious travelers in Central Vietnam.
