If someone were to ask me what I like about Vietnam, I wouldn't hesitate to tell them, "I love my country's cuisine." Indeed, I would show them pictures of simple street food stalls or simply invite them to a warm family meal. I'm sure that for me and for other Vietnamese people, we share the same sentiment.

During these days, the final days of the twelfth lunar month in Vietnam come to a close, and the atmosphere changes. There isn’t any kind of sudden change: it’s just a morning in which you wake up to slightly fresher air, a few buds just starting to bloom on the branches, and you listen more to talk about the Lunar New Year in your conversations and plans.

In Vietnamese cuisine, Northern food reflects gentle refinement, national identity, and history, blending rich culture and lifestyle through simple dishes, where each flavor tells a deeply meaningful story across generations.

As far as you know, if you’ve ever traveled abroad, you agree with me on one point: we observe some of the highest views of the mountains, but regarding the people and the mood of your festivities, we stay right in our hearts as much.

When mentioning Vietnam, tourists cannot help but admire the visually appealing and delicious street food such as steaming hot bowls of pho or crispy banh mi filled with abundant ingredients. The Michelin Guide is a global symbol of prestige in the culinary field, a coveted award that any chef dreams of reaching.
