The exotic land of Vietnam has intrigued many visitors with its rich cultural tradition and its breathtaking landscape. But beyond the idyllic tree-lined coasts, emerald paddy fields, elaborate temples and bustling markets, the country’s most popular attraction has to be its delicious cuisine. Its impressive culinary tradition serves up a feast that extends far beyond the Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup) and Cha Gio (Rice Paper Spring Rolls) often associated with this stunningly beautiful country.

Vietnamese cooking has inherited strong influences from its former ruling countries, China and France as well as its Asian neighbours. Yet it retains a distinctly Vietnamese flavour derived from the clever use of ingredients such as mint leaves, star anise, ginger, sugar, garlic, coriander, lemon grass, dried shrimp, shrimp paste, basil, rice vinegar and green onions. The use of the salty and tangy fish sauce (nouc cham) also helps to bring flavours to life. The emphasis on fresh ingredients and the minimal use of oil in cooking preparation have given Vietnamese cuisine a healthy reputation.

Embark on a Vietnamese culinary odyssey from 6 to 20 October at the ANA Hotel. Here, you can savour all the flavours of Vietnam in a splendid buffet spread specially prepared by chefs from the renowned five-star Caravelle Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
