As members of the African group that has been with Quang Linh Vlogs for many years in Angola, Hung Kaka and his partner Thanh Paulo (both from Nghe An) are loved by many people for their simple, friendly and humorous personalities.

In addition to farming and supporting people in remote villages in Angola with agricultural cultivation, Hung Kaka and Thanh Paulo also try to spread and promote Vietnamese culture by regularly cooking and instructing local people how to prepare typical dishes of their homeland such as: beef noodle soup, spring rolls, sticky rice with beans, etc.

They hope that the simple meals will help locals regain energy after a hard week of work and prepare them for the new work week, while also spreading the unique culinary culture of their homeland Vietnam.

In a recent video posted on a YouTube channel with over 750,000 followers, Hung Kaka and Thanh Paulo show off their cooking skills by cooking a familiar Vietnamese dish to treat the villagers. That is bun gia cay.

“On weekends, I will cook delicious Vietnamese dishes to nourish and encourage the team leaders and group members at the farm. And today will be a very special dish, which is fake duck vermicelli,” said Hung Kaka.

This man said that the farm currently raises a lot of geese, so he decided to take advantage of the available food sources to process. Some indispensable spices in the dish such as galangal, lemongrass, and shrimp paste are also fully prepared.

At the farm, Hung Kaka and everyone else caught a 5kg male duck to make an ingredient for lunch. After cleaning and preparing it, the group grilled the duck with dry grass until the skin was golden brown and gave off a fragrant aroma.

After roasting the duck until golden brown, cut it into bite-sized pieces and marinate it with galangal, lemongrass, shrimp paste, MSG, etc. and wait 15-20 minutes for the ingredients to absorb the spices.

Anh Hung revealed that the fake dog meat dish is cooked in the Central region style, so it will be marinated with molasses to increase the attractive flavor.

After preparing and marinating all the ingredients, put the pot on the stove, stir well and wait until the goose meat is tender.

While waiting, Hung Kaka's group boiled rice noodles to eat with the fake dog meat dish. The Vietnamese man said that in Angola, there are no fresh rice noodles, so they use dried rice noodles. The dried rice noodles are boiled, drained in a basket, then rinsed with cold water before eating.

When the dish was done, Hung Kaka and Thanh Paulo took turns dividing the noodles into bowls and then scooping the hot fake dog meat on top. The members working at the farm on the weekend were already sitting around the table, eagerly waiting to enjoy the dish.

While quickly dividing the food to ease everyone’s hunger, Hung Kaka introduced the fake dog meat duck noodle dish. “This is a Vietnamese noodle dish. The duck meat is also cooked with Vietnamese spices,” he said.

While enjoying the meal, the Angolan members kept praising the deliciousness. One person confessed that “since childhood, I have never eaten such delicious food” and did not forget to thank the Vietnamese brothers for always caring for everyone working on the farm.

Some others commented that the fake dog meat vermicelli was so delicious that “I ate 3 bowls and felt full but still wanted more”. “I am over 40 years old this year and this is the first time I have had such a delicious dish. I can only say thank you very much”, one member expressed.

As for Hung Kaka, he feels very happy when seeing people enjoy their food. He understands the hardships and deprivation of the locals, so he always wants to have the opportunity to cook many delicious dishes, both to motivate them to work hard and to spread Vietnamese culinary culture internationally.
