The program is not only a place to honor traditional culinary heritage but also a deep gratitude to artisans, those who preserve and develop priceless heritage values, contributing to creating the cultural and historical heart of the capital, making Hanoi an attractive and unique tourist destination.
Vietnamese cuisine has long been a vivid symbol of creativity, cultural exchange, and traditional quintessence. In particular, family meals are a unique cultural beauty, a place to connect members and preserve the good values of the family. Tet dishes have profound meanings, not only as a symbol of reunion but also expressing gratitude to ancestors, reflecting the philosophy of life of Vietnamese people through each dish, through each way of presentation.
