Diverse events set for 2023 culinary culture festival in Phu Tho
The 2023 Culinary Culture Festival is taking place in the northern province of Phu Tho as part of activities to mark the death anniversary of the Hung Kings, the legendary founders of the nation, and the Culture and Tourism Week of Ancestral Land.
Boasting a wide range of unique culinary and cultural activities, the event provides an ideal venue in which to introduce the local unique culinary culture whilst contributing to spreading the value of Vietnamese culinary culture to both domestic and international tourists.
On display across the 70 stalls are specialties of three regions across the country, as well as One Commune One Product (OCOP) products of Phu Tho province.
Most notably, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a range of impressive performances by renowned culinary artist Matsuo Tomoyuki, who is also president of the Japan - Vietnam Culinary Association (JVGA), and artisan Le Thi Thiet, chairman of the Nam Dinh Culinary Culture Association.
The gastronomic demonstration put on by two artisans will be the highlight of the Japanese-Vietnamese culinary exchange programme, aiming to introduce the local dish of bagridae of Phu Tho province.
Aside from culinary spaces at the five-day event, visitors will also have the chance to be entertained with performances of Xoan and Ca Tru singing, Quan Ho Bac Ninh folk songs in the north, and the southern amateur music of Don ca tai tu.
