Vietnam joined the eight other countries and territories in North, South, and Southeast Asia in the Asia Cuisine Festival held in the Thai capital city from November 12-14.
With the country’s red national flag, green bamboo and a traditional conical hat, Vietnam’s booth attracted a lot of visitors, who enjoyed tasting traditional Vietnamese dishes such as banh chung (square sticky rice cake), gio cha (pork pies), nem ran (fried meat roll), xoi vo (glutinous rice cooked with split peas) and, especially, pho bo (beef noodle soup).
Vietnam’s Trade Counsellor Nguyen Thanh Hung said this is the first time the country has taken part on a large scale in such an event in Thailand to promote the country’s national dishes.
At the festival, host Thailand introduced its well-known tom yum kung dish (hot and sour shrimp soup) while Indonesia displayed chicken roasted over charcoal.
