What does the international community say about vietnam

By BambooaiPublished about a year ago 5 min read

The people of Africa are surprised to announce that it is not a dream of the United States, Vietnam is really the paradise we want to come to. The dream of the United States is a dream of a land where everyone has a chance to live a better life,more abundant and fuller, with the condition that they are able or can achieve success.

This dream is not just about the house, car or high salary, but also a fair social system,where everyone, whether male or female, can develop maximum personal ability and be respected,without discrimination of origin or origin.

In other words, the dream of the United States is not just a dream of wealth, but also a desire for freedom and equality.

No matter who you are, what nationality you are, what skin color you have, or what religion you follow,in a society built on these values, everyone has a chance to pursue and achieve the life they long for.

This has made the United States a point of idealism for many people around the world.

However, in fact, life is not always in line with the expectations of the dream of the United States, especially in ensuring justice, equality, freedom and happiness.

This is why Jonathan and Kelly left the United States.

Jonathan shared, After 9 years of excellent education abroad in India, Dubai and Indonesia,we returned to Alaska, United States.

However, now, our family decided to leave the United States to explore the culture and cuisine of other countries around the world.

This time, we came to the city of Ho Chi Minh. Jonathan and Kelly shared their first happy experience when the two children experienced a morning of excellent cuisine in Ho Chi Minh City.

With only $ 100, the family had a full day of fun, starting with the famous beef pho and hot buns.

As soon as they stepped into the small restaurant, the whole family was attracted by the aroma of the newly steamed buns.

The two children were excited to choose each bun.

Their eyes lit up when they saw a layer of tender meat and red eggs.

They laughed at the joke, not even hesitating to ask for another bun because it was so delicious.

Next, the hot beef pho was served, with a faint smell of smoke from the broth in the pot.

The tender pieces of beef, the white noodles with the distinctive flavor of the spices made the whole family like it.

The two children just drank the hot pho broth,while competing to dip the crispy dumplings into the broth. They kept praising how delicious and strange it was.

Kelly smiled, looked at her husband and children with happy eyes. This is really heaven, she said. Jonathan nodded in agreement.

In addition, happiness is not in wealth, but in the moment when the whole family shares this joy.

Breakfast in Vietnam is not just a culinary experience, but also a moment full of joy,helping the family realize the value of what is precious and true in life.

After enjoying the delicious beef pho and hot buns, the Jonathan and Kelly family continued their journey to discover Vietnamese street food,with a simple but special dish, sticky banana cake.

With a price of only 44,000 VND, equivalent to 1.73 USD,this cake not only makes the members of the family like it, but also creates an unforgettable memory.

The banana cakes are golden-baked, the outside is a thin, fragrant layer, and the inside is a slice of sweet banana.

When Jonathan took the first bite, he could not hide his surprise and said,Oh, it's so cheap, but the cake is so delicious.

Coming here is a heaven of food, so happy, this is even more than a dream.

The two children also burst into laughter when they saw the sticky banana cakes,they ate and danced because they were so excited. Kelly smiled and looked at the children,just a simple street food that can make the whole family so happy.

Here, everything is close and full of joy.

The family continued to eat and chat.

Jonathan realized that happiness does not come from far away, but sometimes it's just moments with the family enjoying a delicious meal,in a warm and peaceful space.

The journey of the Jonathan and Kelly family to Vietnam has become a special journey when they discover the diverse and flavorful food here.

In a busy afternoon in Saigon,they visited a crowded restaurant right from the first sight.

The rich menu has excited the whole family.

They ordered all kinds of dishes, from chicken rice, roasted duck, crispy pork to crispy fried tofu, and did not forget to try the special dipping sauces of Vietnam.

The meal started with chicken rice,a simple but delicious dish that is hard to forget.

The soft, fragrant chicken meat is kept in a greasy sauce, accompanied by hot rice and cool cucumber.

The two children of Jonathan were extremely enthusiastic, continuously praising the wonderful flavor of the dish.

Kelly smiled when she remembered the happy moments of the children like finding a treasure on the chicken rice plate.

Behind the chicken rice is a mixed plate,a surprising combination of roasted chicken, roasted duck,crispy pork and a few other special meats.

Each dish has a dipping sauce, from fish sauce with garlic and chili,onion sauce, to a spicy dipping sauce that stimulates the taste. Jonathan said that the rich flavor of Vietnamese fish sauce brings a different feeling than the dishes he used to eat in Singapore.

He shared that if Singaporean cuisine stands out with the delicacy and balance in flavor,Vietnam makes people fall in love with the variety of spices.

Especially, the dipping sauce here really makes the soul of the dish.

Fried tofu is also a bright spot in the meal.

The crispy skin, the soft, smooth texture right in the mouth, is especially better when combined with the sauce of vinegar and spicy chili.

Kelly said that, although this dish is simple,it was made in a delicate way,bringing the feeling of street food to the level of a restaurant.

Not stopping there,the vegetable soup with a clear taste from the sea and the use of vegetables also made the whole family drool.

Kelly still remembers the feeling when tasting the first bite,the soup was sweet, as if wrapping the freshness of the ingredients into each spoon.

At the end of the meal,the whole family felt satisfied not only with the delicious food,but also with the cultural experience of Vietnamese cuisine.

Jonathan shared, we realized that happiness is sometimes simple just to enjoy a meal together,where each flavor brings joy and solidarity.

Kelly also advises everyone,whether you have been to many places or come to Vietnam at least once in your life, do not hesitate to step into a crowded restaurant,order a few strange dishes,and let the flavor here make you feel like you are at home.

Vietnamese cuisine, through the kind of dipping sauce and dishes, is not only the combination of the ingredients,but also the desire to bring people closer to feel the true meaning of happiness in life.
