During your getaway in Long Hai, sometimes a full meal isn’t necessary - just a flavorful light bite to refuel, refresh your palate, or simply enjoy a relaxing midday moment. At Delight Restaurant, located within Iconic Long Hai Hotel, light dishes are thoughtfully crafted with care, offering a delightful culinary experience even between main meals.

Here are three must-try light bites from our menu:

 

1. Crispy Pigeon Sticky Rice – Crispy Outside, Rich and Flavorful Inside

This standout dish impresses not only with its golden, crispy texture but also with the flavorful filling made from stir-fried pigeon meat and fragrant shallots. The sticky rice is infused with pandan leaf extract, giving it a soft green hue and subtle aroma. Once fried, the rice crust turns golden and crunchy, enveloping the warm, savory filling inside - making it irresistible at first bite.

A refined twist on the traditional sticky rice, this version at Iconic Long Hai Hotel is both delicious and nourishing. It’s a great source of protein, calcium, and iron - perfect for recharging your energy after a swim or a breezy walk outdoors.

2. Shaking Beef – Tender Bites with a Bold Euro-Asian Twist

At Delight Restaurant, our Shaking Beef is made with premium American beef - known for its natural sweetness, tenderness, and rich flavor. The beef is cut into bite-sized cubes, lightly marinated, then quickly seared with bell peppers and onions. The result is a delightful blend of savory richness, subtle sweetness, and a gentle kick of heat.

Though considered a light dish, Shaking Beef is full of flavor and nutrients, making it an ideal choice for those who want something satisfying yet not too heavy. Pair it with salad or toasted bread for a balanced, fulfilling midday meal.

When Is the Best Time for a Light Bite?

According to nutrition experts, the ideal time to enjoy a light meal is between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. This helps maintain energy levels and prevents excessive hunger before dinner. However, it’s recommended to allow at least two hours between your snack and your next main meal to preserve your appetite.

At Iconic Long Hai Hotel, the bright yet cozy atmosphere of Delight Restaurant makes it the perfect place to enjoy a light bite. Recharge your energy in a refined setting while savoring flavorful dishes and soaking in the peaceful, vacation-worthy ambience.
