RoK foods to challenge Vietnamese gastronomists

A Republic of Korea foods festival will open in Ha Noi on November 25, with 300 gastronomists to cook Korean traditional foods such as Gimchi.


The fest, which is named after Dae Chang Kum, a film once very hot in Viet Nam, will offer guests chances to meet and talk with three actors and actresses having roles in the film.

Organisers from the RoK Cultural Centre in Viet Nam said they expected to welcome some 1,000 visitors to enjoy traditional culinary arts of Viet Nam and the RoK in observation of the centre’s first founding anniversary on November 18.

Its one-week celebration programme includes a painting contest and traditional games of both Viet Nam and the RoK for 120 children from the two countries on November 22 and a singing contest for Vietnamese young people to sing in Korean on November 24.

An outdoor film festival with five movies on the family topic will also be held while a painting exhibition with 25 works all on children and buffaloes by Nguyen Van Cuong of Viet Nam from November 23-December 3 will feature similarities in art between Viet Nam and the RoK.
