reunion after a year long living and working away from home. It is the day when all men in the family decorate their house and women prepare New Year food with NEM being a nice “must”. Children running around their parents fill up their home and the air with their na?ve, twinkling smiling eyes and joyful voices. Their fathers and mothers sometimes have to stop their work not to quarrel them, but to watch their beautiful angels. The parents look at each other, their eyes silently say out all their happiness. And then comes the New Year’ Eve, food is placed on the table with lots of flowers around, with lovely music singing about. The charming colors of flowers, the delicious fragrance of NEM and the loving voices bringing warm wishes to each other go along with each family member all the New Year round. And now, in this food festival, we are bringing you not only a Vietnamese traditional food but also a warm, happy and loving family atmosphere.
Welcome all of you, dear friends, to our beloved Vietnam family.
Vietnamese food is delicious and plentiful so I don’t know what food I should introduce to you. Rice noodle soup with beef, soya noodle with chicken, kebab rice noodle, stuffed sticky rice cake are popular food and all tourists like their taste. So today , I’m going to introduce to you a special food which is often present in the Vietnamese meals. Its name is braised fish, called “ca kho” in Vietnam. The ingredients consist of fresh fish, a little pork, fish sauce, ginger, soy souce and spice. Also you can use carp, snake-head, goby or any kind of fish that you like. Braised fish is delicious, and nourishing but quite cheap and easy to cook. So it is very popular in Vietnam. Perhaps that’s why most Vietnamese people who live abroad often miss their family and the taste of this food. If you want to try, I can cook it for you :)
