The event is expected to serve as a bridge that honours and connects businesses, craft villages, and culinary brands, promoting Vietnamese cuisine to local Hanoians, domestic travellers, and international friends.
The recognition of Hanoi pho (Hanoi’s noodle soup) as a national intangible cultural heritage element marks a significant milestone in promoting traditional cultural values and paves the way for this iconic dish to secure its place on the global culinary map, experts said.
Hanoi Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) is known for its subtly sweet broth made from simmered bones, tender yet firm meat, clear broth, soft, thin rice noodles, and a fresh garnish of herbs and green onions.
The Hanoi Food Culture Festival 2018, the first of its kind, will take place in the capital city from October 5-10 with an aim of introducing Hanoi’s cuisine legacy to locals and tourists alike.
