Hanoi’s food to get Asian Record’s certificates
The Asian Record’s Organisation is about to grant certificates recognising Hanoi’s three unique dishes for their meeting Asian culinary values.
The certificates will be awarded at a festival featuring tourism products of traditional craft villages in Hanoi and the Red River Delta scheduled for October 8-12, said Mai Tien Dung, deputy head of the municipal Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism on October 3.
The three specialties include Pho (noodle soup served with beef and chicken); Bun cha (rice noodle served with grilled pork); and Bun thang (rice noodle soup served with chicken, fried egg strands, lean meat pie strands and mushroom).
Another six dishes will be also awarded certificates by the Vietnam Record’s Organization, including Cha ca (fried fish served with noodles and scallions) La Vong; Banhcuon (steamed rolled rice pancake) Thanh Tri; Mo (apricot) Huong Son; Canh orange; Banh com (green rice flake cake) Hang Than; and O mai (salted dry fruits) Hang Duong.
Food has been embedded as Hanoi’s typical cultural characteristic and unique tourism product.
In the coming time, the city tourism industry will continue its efforts to promote Vietnamese dishes to the world by introducing them into multilingual leaflets and booklets at tourism fairs.
