ONYX Hospitality Group Celebrates 1st Anniversary of Amari Bangkok’s “Nila” Coastal Indian Restaurant
Nila offers guests a rare taste of Indian coastal cuisine, bringing unique flavours and dining experiences to Thailand
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 March 2025 – ONYX Hospitality Group, a prominent management company in Southeast Asia specialising in hotels and resorts, serviced apartments and luxury residences, is delighted to celebrate the first anniversary of Nila, a Coastal Indian restaurant on the 4th floor of Amari Bangkok. This premium property offers exceptional hospitality and world-class amenities, providing an unparalleled experience in the heart of the city.
Experience the rich, vibrant flavours of Coastal Indian cuisine, a culinary treasure from India’s coastal regions, beautifully infused with Portuguese influences for a distinctive and exquisite taste. In celebration of Nila‘s first anniversary, guests are invited to indulge in an 8-course Coastal Indian Tasting Menu, available with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and offered throughout the year.
ONYX Hospitality Group is driven by its vision to be “The Best Medium-Sized Hospitality Management Company in Southeast Asia.” Beyond accommodations, ONYX Hospitality Group also excels in spa services and the food and beverage industry. Nila is one of the highlights under ONYX Hospitality Group’s management, an Indian restaurant inspired by India’s Coastal culinary heritage. Nila showcases a culinary heritage deeply rooted in the cultural richness passed down from ancient artifact merchants, spice traders, and herbalists of Goa and the Malabar Coast of India.
Every aspect of Nila is a tribute to the land it represents—from its name, derived from Malayalam, meaning “blue like the sea,” to its décor, which evokes the warmth of a Goan home influenced by Portuguese heritage. The food and beverage menu stays true to Indian authenticity, featuring dishes crafted with Kerala’s fragrant coconut. A standout is the spicy seafood curry from Goa—a dish that blends contemporary culinary techniques with the adventurous spirit of ancient traders, delivering a unique identity and a delightful experience in every bite.
To celebrate its first anniversary, Nila invites guests to explore a culinary journey, indulging in the rich flavours of Indian coastal cuisine with a thoughtfully curated menu. The experience begins with three exquisite appetisers, including Phal Dhokla, a beloved dish from India’s west coast, particularly Gujarat. Made from soft, fluffy lentil flour, this delicacy is served with tropical fruits, sweet yogurt, and red chili jam, offering a harmonious balance of sweet, sour, and spicy in every bite.
Next on the appetiser selection is Wada Bao, Mumbai’s most sought-after street food. This crispy, fried, spicy mashed potato is wrapped in soft steamed dough, delivering a perfect balance of crunch and warmth in every bite. Another highlight is the Khara Puff, a South Indian take on the classic puff pastry. Made with soft, fine dough and filled with a spiced vegetable mixture, it is perfectly complemented by a tangy cranberry chutney, delivering a well-balanced fusion of flavours and spices.
Another standout appetiser is Peri-Peri Jheenga, a Goan-style prawn marinated in fiery peri-peri chili peppers. Grilled over an open flame to perfection, it is served with smoked tomatoes and sweet chili chutney, creating an intense, tangy flavour. The peri-peri chili peppers, introduced to India by the Portuguese from Africa, give this dish a unique fusion of Goan and Portuguese influences.
Next comes Kozhi Chuttathu, a traditional Kerala dish featuring chicken drumsticks marinated in yogurt, red chilli, and Malabar spices. The chicken is then grilled and smoked to perfection, and served with pickled beetroot, shallots, and a refreshing mint sauce, offering a smoky, spicy, and aromatic flavour.
Next is the Truffle Madras Curry Chop, featuring grilled lamb chops topped with a rich Madras curry infused with the aromatic essence of truffle oil. Served alongside a tangy tomato sauce, this appetsier offers the freshness and aromatic flavours of Chennai with a touch of elegance.
For the main course, Machher Jhol offers a taste of Bengali tradition, where fish is an essential element. This classic Bengali sea bass curry is infused with bold, spicy flavours and is served with a velvety pumpkin puree seasoned in the aromatic panchphoran (a blend of five spices). The dish provides a comforting and aromatic experience, making each bite a satisfying journey.
Next, enjoy the Chicken Ghee Roast, a signature main course from Bangalore, Karnataka. Tender chicken is cooked in ghee and a flavourful red chilli sauce, creating a rich, spicy, and aromatic taste. Served with Kal Dosa, a crispy flatbread, this dish highlights the region’s love for ghee-roasted delicacies, offering a rich, spicy, and aromatic coastal flavour.
Mutton lovers will be in for a treat with Mutton Perattu, a rich Kerala-style mutton curry served with soft, flaky parotta. Packed with a generous amount of spices, this dish delivers a deep, aromatic flavour that is both hearty and impressive.
Filter Kapi Misu is a delightful fusion dessert that combines the bold, outstandingly rich flavours of Coorg coffee with the creamy smoothness of Tiramisu. This classic South Indian twist on the traditional dessert offers a perfect ending to a delicious meal.
For vegetarians, Nila has thoughtfully adapted its menu with plant-based ingredients such as beans, tofu, and mushrooms. Highlights include Wild Mushroom Ularthiyayhu, where wild mushrooms are stir-fried with Malabar spices, creating an aromatic and rich dish. The Tofu Jhol is a traditional Bengali-style spicy curry paired with panchphoran-tempered pumpkin mash. Another standout is Soy Perattu, a soy protein curry infused with aromatic spices, served with soft parotta.
Additionally, Nila offers a selection of signature cocktails inspired by coastal Indian ingredients and spirits. These drinks are crafted to provide a delightful drinking experience, allowing guests to enjoy their flavours, aromas, and beautiful presentation. The beverages at Nila range from refreshing, vibrant concoctions reminiscent of a bright seaside escape to bold, intense creations featuring cognac as the main ingredient, blended with traditional recipes—along with many more exquisite options.
Nila is more than just a restaurant; it’s a legacy that brings the rich recipes and delights of India’s coastal cities to life. The aromatic spices and contemporary cooking in every dish transport guests to a distant land, evoking the warmth of the sunshine and the refreshing waves of the blue sea. It’s an experience unique to Nila.
Indulge in Coastal Indian cuisine at Nila restaurant, located on the 4th floor of Amari Bangkok Hotel, every day from noon to midnight. For more information or to make a reservation, please call 0 2653 9000.

SL Aesthetic Group Marks 22 Years of Innovation and Regional Expansion in Singapore and Southeast Asia
Founded in Singapore in 2003, the Group has grown to encompass five specialised brands operating more than twenty outlets across Singapore and the region.
- SL Aesthetic Clinic offers doctor-led skin, face and body treatments, and is one of Singapore’s longest-running medical aesthetics clinic.
- SkinLab The Medical Spa, a dermatology-focused medical spa, specialises in medical-grade facials and skincare products for sensitive skin.
- TrichoLab, a dedicated hair and scalp health brand specialising in medical hair loss solutions.
- PROLOGUE brings together Prologue The Lifestyle Medical Clinic and Prologue Centre for Women’s Wellness as a unified lifestyle and preventive medicine brand, addressing chronic health concerns and promoting women’s wellness across life stages.
- Euphie (Malaysia) is the Group’s Malaysia-based extension comprising Euphie Skin Solutions and Euphie Clinic, delivering medically supervised aesthetic care.
The Group has served more than 100,000 patients, with care provided by a team of 12 doctors and more than 100 trained specialists.
Over the past two decades, the concept of beauty and wellness has broadened into a more holistic approach to personal care—one that goes beyond aesthetics to support overall wellbeing. People are placing greater emphasis on long-term health, from their mental health and nutrition to their physical appearance. This shift has driven growing demand for preventive, medically supervised services that integrate aesthetics with broader health concerns.
In response to these changing needs, SL Aesthetic Group has expanded its medical services beyond skin and hair treatments, introducing more than 40 new offerings across its five specialised brand portfolios, including women’s health services.
Dr Kelvin Chua, Founder and Senior Medical Director of SL Aesthetic Group, said: “Reaching 22 years reflects the continuity of care we have built over time. As patient expectations change, our focus remains on delivering medically supervised services that support long-term health and well-being.”
As part of this expansion, the Group launched Prologue The Lifestyle Medical Clinic and Prologue Centre for Women’s Wellness in 2025. Prologue The Lifestyle Medical Clinic focuses on preventive care for chronic conditions, supported by artificial intelligence–enabled health screenings for early detection of conditions such as dementia and cancer. Meanwhile, Prologue Centre for Women’s Wellness addresses women’s health needs across different life stages, including perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum recovery.
Within Singapore, the group strengthened its physical presence with the opening of its tenth SL Aesthetic Clinic and SkinLab The Medical Spa outlet at iMall in Marine Parade, as a response to strong and sustained demand from patients in the eastern region.
Regionally, SL Aesthetic Group marked a milestone as its Malaysia-based brand, Euphie — comprising Euphie Skin Solutions and Euphie Clinic — celebrated its first anniversary. Building on this foundation, the Group plans to open an additional outlet in Malaysia, extending its medically supervised services to a wider patient base.
Looking ahead, SL Aesthetic Group plans to continue expanding its clinical footprint while maintaining regulatory compliance, clinical standards, and patient safety.

Zero-Emission Technology Underpins the Future of Urban Living
As an economy reaches a new stage of development, the central question is no longer how fast it can grow, but how well it can sustain that growth over time. The development trajectories of many countries show that crossing an income threshold often brings complex structural pressures: Mounting strain on urban infrastructure, environmental degradation, and higher expectations for quality of life.
In this context, traditional growth models, those that prioritize short-term economic returns, begin to reveal their limitations. What emerges instead is a clear demand for development paradigms in which economic performance, environmental resilience, and social value are conceived together from the outset, rather than treated as sequential or secondary considerations.
For Vietnam, this transition is particularly significant as global capital flows increasingly favor ESG-aligned markets, and urban residents shift from a focus on asset ownership to a more holistic pursuit of living quality and long-term wellbeing. Real estate, therefore, is no longer simply a supply-and-demand equation, but a foundational platform for shaping lifestyles, communities, and sustainable urban ecosystems.
It is precisely within this structural shift that Vinhomes Green Paradise is positioned as a forward-looking benchmark, reflecting the long-term vision of Vinhomes to develop real estate on an “ESG++ from the ground up” foundation, where sustainability is not an added feature, but the core architecture that underpins enduring economic and social value.
Geography as Destiny: A Living Natural Heritage
Many believe that Vinhomes Green Paradise is a “new wonder” of modern society, bringing together a rare convergence of forward-looking planning, contemporary living standards, and visionary development. Yet beyond its scale or sophistication, its very location is a wonder in itself. It is a place where human intelligence and capability are applied not to dominate nature, but to collaborate with it, leveraging an irreplaceable “forest-backed, sea-facing” setting that cannot be replicated, while preserving, restoring, and ultimately giving back to the natural environment.
Among more than 90 submissions from across the globe, New7Wonders selected Vinhomes Green Paradise as the first project worldwide to receive the “Official Participant” certification in the global “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign.
“This is a truly exceptional project,” said Jean-Paul de la Fuente, Director of New7Wonders and Chairman of the global campaign. “Vinhomes Green Paradise is a ‘precious jewel’, a place that is exceptional for living, working, and enjoying life. The project symbolizes the kind of cities that dare to dream, dare to pave new paths, and dare to break boundaries to realize a future where nature, community, and growth coexist in harmony.”
According to him, this spirit is exactly what the world is seeking in the cities of tomorrow.
After personally visiting the site in Can Gio, Jean-Paul de la Fuente identified the project’s geography as its most irreplaceable asset. Spanning 2,870 hectares, Vinhomes Green Paradise is uniquely positioned between two globally significant ecosystems. To the front lies the vast Pacific Ocean, with 121 kilometers of coastline. Behind it stretches the 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, recognized by UNESCO.
At the heart of the megacity sits an 800-hectare saltwater lagoon, the largest of its kind in the world, functioning as a natural ecological regulator, a “green heart” sustaining biodiversity, climate balance, and urban vitality.
Unlike many coastal developments around the world, nature here is not reduced to a backdrop. It is treated as a living heritage, actively preserved and regenerated through dedicated mangrove restoration funds that protect not only the project, but also the ecological shield of Ho Chi Minh City.
While many global developments aim to comply with ESG standards, Vinhomes Green Paradise goes further, introducing an ESG++ model built on five pillars: Environment, Social, Governance, Regeneration, and Adaptation.
This approach reflects a paradigm shift in urban development. Cities of the future must not merely “do less harm”. They must actively give back to nature and society.
Jean-Paul emphasized the importance of this vision: “Future sustainable cities must not ‘take’ from nature, they must ‘give back,’ helping restore and nurture the planet.”
This regenerative mindset is embedded from the earliest stages of construction. Advanced K-DPM technology transforms dredged soft mud into durable construction material, completely eliminating waste discharge into the environment, a breakthrough in large-scale coastal development.
Technology as the City’s Invisible Infrastructure
If nature is the soul of Vinhomes Green Paradise, technology is its invisible nervous system. The entire megacity is designed to operate on 100% clean energy, sourced from offshore wind turbines located 20 kilometers from shore and large-scale solar systems. Transportation within the city and connections to central Ho Chi Minh City are oriented toward zero emissions, supported by electric mobility and high-speed rail.
IoT, AI, and Big Data platforms operate continuously to monitor environmental quality, optimize energy use, and provide early warnings for climate-related risks, ensuring resilience in an era of increasing uncertainty.
One of the core criteria of the “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign is placing people at the heart of urban design. At Vinhomes Green Paradise, this principle is elevated further: Residents are not passive beneficiaries, but active co-creatorsof the city.
The megacity features globally scaled cultural and lifestyle landmarks, including a 122-hectare entertainment complex, the 7-hectare Blue Waves Theatre with 5,000 seats, an outdoor performance plaza for 60,000 people, two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Tiger Woods and Robert Trent Jones, a 108-story tower among the world’s top 10 tallest, and the Cosmo Bay night-time economy hub.
Healthcare, education, and lifelong wellbeing are equally prioritized, with Vinmec healthcare partnering with Cleveland Clinic (USA), Vinschool and Brighton College (UK) in education, and Vin New Horizon redefining senior living. Together, they form an ecosystem where human potential is continuously nurtured.
Residents also play a direct role in environmental stewardship, participating in biodiversity monitoring, mangrove planting, waste sorting, and adopting electric mobility, becoming true “ecological ambassadors” of Can Gio.
The Wonders of the Future Are Being Built Today
For Jean-Paul de la Fuente, Vinhomes Green Paradise represents far more than an urban project.
“The project is positioned as a powerful symbol of Vietnam’s national aspirations and its determination to assert its place on the global stage. What was seen on site is only a small part of a much larger vision,” he said.
Reflecting on the impact of previous New7Wonders campaigns, he noted: “The previous two campaigns, ‘New7Wonders of the World’ and ‘New7Wonders of Nature’, both generated what researchers call the ‘Wonder Effect,’ significantly boosting the economies and societies of the winning destinations.”
Drawing a parallel with Ha Long Bay, he added that he truly believe Vinhomes Green Paradise can achieve something similar, but on an even larger scale, competing directly with iconic cities around the world.”
As Jean-Paul concluded: “If our previous campaigns celebrated the heritage of the past and the beauty of the present, then the ‘7 Wonders of Future Cities’ campaign celebrates the vision being created for future generations.”
“The wonders of the future are taking shape today through the choices, creativity, and determination of pioneering urban planners and developers.”
In that global narrative, Vinhomes Green Paradise stands as a powerful testament to Vietnam’s ambition: A city where geography itself is a wonder, where growth does not compromise the future, and where nature, technology, and humanity evolve together, creating a legacy not just for Vietnam, but for the world.
