Channel of Mom's Simple Meal honored at YouTube FanFest

Starting from February 2019, Am Thuc Me Lam currently has reached more than 700,000 followers. According to Dong Van Hung, creator of this channel, he enjoys making culinary videos, aiming to introduce simple meals that are popular in Vietnam’s countryside and cooked by his own mother.

Hung’s mother said she was overwhelmed with joy when Am Thuc Me Lam reached so many people, but the best thing was “to be closer to her son”.

The content of Am Thuc Me Lam videos revolves around the daily activities of the mother who is also a farmer in the countryside of Vietnam and the simple dishes she cooks. Particularly, the ingredients for the dishes could be found right in the home garden, reflecting the self-sufficient life of people in rural areas.

The channel was introduced on the YouTube Twitter account in May and received a positive response from international friends.

“In the future, I will integrate more videos featuring the beauty of the people, the nature in the countryside and the essence of national culture into my channel. I hope that more viewers will access Am Thuc Me Lam,” the channel creator said.

This year, due to the pandemic, YouTube FanFest 2020 is held virtually, featuring over 150 YouTube creators and artists like Alex Wassabi, Matt Steffanina and Merrell Twins.

First held in 2014, YouTube FanFest is a global music festival that brings together influential YouTube entertainment stars from many countries across the Asian – Pacific region.
