Before the fashion show, creative director Demna Gvasalia said: “This is a show that never happened. What we see is not real, but the clothes are real.” The brand used the image of artist Eliza Douglas to become 44 models and guests by deepfake technology to create artificial images with photometric techniques and CG scanning, changing hairstyles and accessories for each people. The market lane appeared on the catwalk Balenciaga always uses life material to add to each show. The brand transforms the bags into shopping lanes with high-quality plastic materials and the BB characters attached to the body, combining a series of costumes that exaggerate the shoulders and oversized shape.

Demna Gvasalia said to Vogue : “Alessandro Michele and I are very different, but we are both interested in the story of cultural appropriation in the fashion industry”. The brand redesigned the bags with the traditional Gucci motifs and the GG lettering replaced with the BB logo. The Italian fashion house’s signature belt is also reworked with a BB buckle.

Participating in the show, Do Thi Ha wore a full set of tweed clothes with a bow tie shirt. The luxurious “fog” dressing of Miss Hau is said to be suitable for the context of the office, going out for the weekend. When participating in the show, the place she appeared was at Ben Thanh market. This was originally a people’s market, the fact that Do Thi Ha was dressed quite “hard” was commented by netizens as out of place, not suitable for the context. While MC Dai Nghia and singer Trinh Thang Binh wore the simplest clothes, the queen looked out of place because she dressed in the wrong place. Many fans believe that Miss and her crew should review the costumes before participating in the event or program. With the context of a popular market like this, she only needed to wear jeans and a T-shirt to simply score points in the eyes of fans. Before that, Miss Luong Thuy Linh attracted attention when she wore a see-through crop top and announced that she was going to buy vegetables. Ngoc Trinh and Dieu Nhi once shocked when making tik tok clips on gorgeous clothes like going to an event. However, in fact, the two girls just went to eat duck eggs. Miss Khanh Van also made a tik tok clip to dress luxuriously, wear a crown to go… dump the trash. Nha Phuong dressed up as “fog” to go to the market and was secretly photographed by fans. Thuy Ngan dressed simply wearing a mask to go to the market. However, many fans still recognize the famous actress.

Diep and his wife have 3 children. Her children are all grown up: the oldest one is in 12th grade, the second one is in 10th grade and the younger one is in 7th grade. In addition, her family has a 30-year-old brother from the countryside who moved to Hanoi to work with her. In total, her family has a total of 6 members. In the past, Ms. Diep used to go to the market every day, or at least once every two days. However, she finds going to the market by day is time consuming and has no control over the market money. Therefore, her family’s monthly expenditure on food is always above 10 million VND/month. Going to the wholesale market, Ms. Diep saves 2-3 million per month (illustration image) “Every day, our family eats 3 meals, it costs about 250,000-300,000 VND. Weekends are slightly better, have to be 400,000 VND / day because I buy more chickens and ducks, fresh food improves. Therefore, my family’s monthly market money is about ten million dong. Also, every day I have to carry the lane to the market, calculate the daily dishes. Many days have busy work, not in time in the morning, then come home late in the afternoon and still rush to go to the market,” Ms. Diep said. Seeing that it is inconvenient to go to the market by day and to reduce the cost of food during the epidemic season, Ms. Diep decided to go to the wholesale market on a weekly basis. “I see that my colleague’s house goes to the market on a weekly basis, which is both cheap, can buy a variety of foods, and saves a lot of time. She suggested going to the wholesale market every weekend to buy all kinds of shrimp, crab, fish, vegetables, etc., for preliminary processing, breaking them into small meals for the refrigerator to eat gradually, which is very convenient.” Listening to your advice, Ms. Diep has gone to the wholesale market once a week for several months. Each time, she brings 1 million dong or a little more. She often goes to the 365 wholesale market and the Duong Noi wholesale market, every Saturday. “In Ha Dong, there are many markets for people’s living and toad markets. However, to buy cheap food, I often go to market 365 to buy meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. Especially vegetables in this market are very cheap. When I go to Duong Noi wholesale market, I buy poultry and seafood. So, I only need 1 million to buy enough fresh food to eat for a whole week,” said Ms. Diep. Specifically, when going to the two wholesale markets above, Ms. Diep often buys the following foods: 1kg of beef: 160,000 VND 1kg of shrimp: 135,000 VND 2 kg of lean shoulder meat: The price of pork has cooled down a lot, so it’s only 110,000 VND/kg, buying 2kg is only 220,000 VND. 1 kg she asked the seller to grind, 1 kg she divided into 3 pieces for storage or roasting. 2 dozen eggs: 40,000 VND 1 chicken about 2kg: 180,000 VND 1.5kg of industrial chicken wings: 120,000 VND 3kg of drifting fish: 90,000 VND (type 1 kg/fish) In addition, vegetables: 1kg of potatoes: 20,000 VND; 1kg beans, 1kg chayote: 30,000 VND; water spinach, amaranth, spinach: 30,000 VND Fruits: 1kg of plums: 30,000 VND; 2kg watermelon: 30,000 VND; 2kg mango: 30,000 VND. Total: Over 1 million VND/week fixed. Of course, you still have to add a little fresh food every day, but not too big. Thus, with an amount of more than 1 million VND, Ms. Diep was able to buy quite a lot of food with enough meat, shrimp, fish and vegetables. After that, she washed, processed into small meals and stored in the refrigerator. “1kg of pork, I divided into 3 meals. 1.5kg chicken wings also divided into 3 meals. My fish is divided into 4 meals. When you like to eat cooked fish, cook it with sour or pickle. When I like to eat stock, I will go to the neighboring warehouse. My beef is also divided into small pieces to stir-fry onions and garlic or to dip noodles for breakfast. As for our chicken, we usually boil it, the meat is removed to cook chicken noodle soup in the morning to eat at home. Every day, I just need to buy more food or other condiments such as onions, tofu, and fruit if needed,” said Ms. Diep. Calculating, three meals a day at home, but this young family of 5 costs about 150,000 VND/day. For the whole month, adding fresh food and other complementary foods, Ms. Diep’s family spent about 6 million VND to go to the market, saving 3 million compared to before. According to Ms. Diep, in addition to going to the wholesale market at the end of each week, in order to save maximum spending, each sister herself needs to know how to create menus when cooking, helping to make family dishes more diverse. “It is important that the 7-day menu is not duplicated, changes dishes continuously. Because food is just around the corner, if you don’t know how to process it, the dishes on the rice tray will be very monotonous,” she said.

Never knew this fish had such a funny name. No one can explain. But let’s put the name aside for now, the important thing is that the fish makes the family meal more delicious. Like the catfish (same family, but red tail, bigger), the fish has a lot of small bones, but in return, the fish meat is fatty, soft and sweet. Unlike some other freshwater fishes, porpoises (including bream) only remove the intestines, clean the gills, cut off the fins and tail. Very quick. Absolutely do not scrape fish scales, because the fish scales are soft, crunchy, strange to eat. In addition, this fish scale should be accidentally crushed, making the fish meat bitter, so the villagers just let it be. Given the job by my mother, my brother and I quickly prepared some unpleasant fish, carefully placing them in a bamboo basket to drain. Mother gently put the basket of fish into the pot to marinate. As the name of the dish is “potato braised”, so my mother never seasoned it too salty, nor sweet. Depending on the taste of each place, each person has a different way of seasoning. But do not add cooking oil or add fat to create a very greasy taste because the nature of the meat and fish head is already fat. To color the broth, you can use coconut-colored water or molasses sugar. Marinate fish for 30 minutes for firm meat. Then, my mother brought it to the stove to cook. Wood stove has the advantage that in addition to saving money on gas, it also has the advantage that the firewood burns evenly and smoldering, so the fish cooks slowly, without having to watch. When the fish water is boiling, evenly absorbed, add one and a half cups of filtered water and cook until the fish is cooked, then season again and then turn off the stove. Do not overcook the fish, it is no longer crispy, but it is crushed. Add finely chopped scallions (or basil) and pepper to enhance the flavor and keep the stomach warm. Mom gently scooped up the broth and fish on a plate. Cut a piece of fresh lemon, mother squeezed it on the fish plate. The special braised dish there, without the sourness of the lemon is missing an important part. The basket of field vegetables picked by the father behind the dike was also placed on the dining table. The rice tray is simple but cozy. Always, after the word “invite the whole family to eat rice”, I quickly pick up the vegetables with chopsticks because I love raw vegetables. Wow, the vegetables, watercress and water need to be rolled up like a spring roll and then put into the chopsticks to dip the broth in the broth. How did the fat, slightly sour, and sweet leopard taste permeate the raw vegetables? Because this fish has many bones, it must be skillful in how to pick it up and know how to eat it to fully enjoy the delicious taste. Use a spoon or chopsticks to push the fish meat horizontally, the meat will drift along each fiber, leaving the fish skeleton intact. After eating this back side, turn over to the back side. Don’t forget to use the fish head, it’s very crunchy (but remember to leave out the two fisheye balls). Putting a piece of rice in my mouth with cod meat, I felt all sorts of flavors in the tip of my tongue – wanting to eat forever even though my stomach was full. Above all, the most delicious taste is the taste of the countryside, the sacred love of a mother for her family.

It is no coincidence that many people do not like to go to the kitchen, kitchen work takes up a lot of people’s time and energy. Some of your suggestions Xuli (a teacher at Phu Ngoc High School, Dong Nai) will help you reduce your cooking time so you can spend more time handling other jobs or taking care of your family. 1. Freeze and cool food Freezing food scientifically will preserve the nutrition of the dish Storing food in the refrigerator is something that housewives should do. As long as you just grasp a few principles, the food is always fresh and retains its nutrients. So, ladies and gentlemen, if you can afford it, go to the market every day, or collect many days to go to the market once, it will be much less difficult. 2. Prepare some common sauces Some types of ready-to-cook sauces for the refrigerator, including: grilled marinade, chili garlic fish sauce, satay. Some types of sauce commonly used daily by Vietnamese people such as garlic and chili fish sauce, satay, grilled marinade, chao sauce, tomato sauce… housewives should cook a large amount and then store it in the refrigerator to use it gradually in 7-10 days. 3. Cook more than 1 serving and freeze Some dishes take a long time, such as stews and stews, so cook more than 1 serving, and freeze the rest. The next meal just needs to be defrosted and reheated (microwave or steamer…). 4. Prepare some types of dishes Spring rolls are always rolled up and stored in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. At meal time, just take it out and put it in an oil-free fryer, add a thin layer of oil to make it crispy and delicious. Pre-processed products help you reduce your time in the kitchen significantly because this process is the process that takes up the most time in your cooking. For vegetables before storing in the refrigerator, pick them up as soon as possible after you buy them. Some dishes such as spring rolls, fish cakes, and bay leaf rolls… you can either pre-roll them, pack them or fry them briefly… Grilled leaves or spring rolls can be fried quickly and neatly in an oil-free fryer. Grilled fish, fried spring rolls, tomato sauce or second fire frying all become simpler. 5. Exploiting the functions of kitchen support machines Machines will do a lot of kitchen work with women. Depending on the conditions of each house, how many machines to buy with great machine skill. But the machine supports the most effective kitchen work such as: an oil-free fryer for fried and grilled dishes; pressure cooker for stews and blender for grinding crab, pounding shrimp, chopping onion/garlic/pepper/chili/lemongrass/ginger… In addition, you can “buy” for your family a versatile food processor to be your assistant.The machine can cut, slice, grind, grind, juice in just a short time to help. You save a lot of time in the kitchen. 6. Plan your cooking The first secret to help you reduce kitchen time is to have a specific and reasonable cooking menu before entering the kitchen. There are many people who have to spend too much time shopping and thinking “what to buy for today’s menu?”, then when you start cooking, you think about what to cook, and finally when you make it. found that there was a shortage of food ingredients, which was a time-consuming process. So take some time over the weekend to plan out a menu for your family for a week and then list the ingredients and food you need to buy for the week. You see, instead of having to worry about going to the market every day, you just need to go to the market for a week. In addition, you will not need to think about what to eat today, just start cooking every time you go to the kitchen. 7. Choose simple dishes but full of nutrients Full nutritious 1-course meal, steamed fish with vermicelli + onions, vegetable rolls dipped in fish sauce. A meal needs 4 groups of substances: starch, protein, fiber – vitamins and fat. With “lazy” meals, I just need to choose which dish has all the above 4 groups of substances to be assured of both standard and leisure time, for example: steamed fish with vermicelli and onions; fish and fruit soup, stewed fruit and vegetables… 8. Save fancy dishes for special occasions If your ability is limited, time does not allow, or you know for sure that you will bury your head in the kitchen and be too tired to be angry with your husband and children, don’t hurry. Some sophisticated and complicated dishes I use for family gatherings, fathers take care of children, mothers cook and clean. It will be fun for the whole family.

There are 4 extra items of change, the change to buy green onions with a little chili is enough seasoning “; “20k minced meat divided into 7k vegetable soup + fried with 2 5k chicken eggs + fried with 8k beans, 40k enough. Sometimes I can eat 2 meals. It is estimated that 40k for 3 dishes, 2 people have many choices. “; “Buy 2 slices of 10k scallop, about 3 fish, cut into small slices to the warehouse. Raw vegetable sauce, buy 2k raw vegetables, 5k bitter melon sliced, buy 10k shrimp to cook melon soup. Buy 10k of thigh meat and chop pomegranate seeds with 2k fish sauce can be stored in a pot of meat shrimp paste. With a balance of 1k, leave pigs for children “; Someone even gave evidence that I used to make a 40k meal for a family of 6, causing fever in the online community for a while: The image of a 40K meal caused fever in the online community. However, in addition to the sincere counseling menus, many funny people consulted the girl: “Tell my husband that I can not do it, from now on I will just go to the market all day for 40K”; “This time we do it successfully, from then on, don’t expect your husband to spend more money on the market.”; “Ask my husband to bring 40K and then go to fill the car with gas and drive to my house to have dinner.

These days, when the Covid-19 epidemic is complicated and need to limit going out to prevent epidemics, Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha (office worker, living in Hanoi) has a habit of buying and storing food. once a week. Ms. Thu Ha shared: Usually she only goes to the market once a week on weekends. The amount of food each time she buys just enough for 7-10 days to ensure quality. According to the mother of these two children, if applying the way she is doing, the days when she comes home from work, cooking becomes idle only takes 15-20 minutes. Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha said that preliminarily processing and packing into separate boxes helps you save time when cooking. With her blood and blood experience in the first time, she did not process much, sometimes only wash and put a pound of meat in the freezer, until she only took 1 pound of meat to cook for 1 meal to see the suffering. After changing “tactics”, she began to prepare food, cut into pieces enough for one meal and then divided into small trays and boxes. Here are some food preservation tips that Ms. Ha has applied to both cook and keep the freshness, deliciousness, and ensure the food safety of the food. For sliced ​​or chopped foods (ground meat, chicken heart, oyster gut …) Ms. Ha shared that she often went to the supermarket to buy clean food and then put it in an ice tray with a lid, which helps to preserve the food in each box, easy to take, and quickly defrost. If 1 person eats 1 umbrella, 3 people can eat 3-4 plots, depending on need. For scallions, tomatoes Onions are seasoning vegetables used regularly in the meals of Mrs. Ha’s family. Wash onions, flake or roast all the water, cut into pieces or shred them into a bowl, drop the onions in boiling water. Very convenient and there will be onions at all times. With tomatoes, too, she often buys a lot and after cleaning and removing the damaged part, she chooses the areca piece to keep it in the tray in the freezer. Root onions you can plug into a bowl of water to have more fresh onions Tomato is a difficult food to preserve, but Ms. Ha is very confident with how not to spoil tomatoes. She often buys a lot, washed and cut off the damaged part, sliced ​​the areca nut and put it in the tray to prevent freezer. For fish meat: Rinse, drain, place in a tray and put in freezer. For leafy vegetables: N If you wash it, you must rotate it to drain it for a long time. If it doesn’t drain, the vegetables will quickly get boots. Lettuce should be washed and dried for 5 days. Small food in freezer. What to do if the container is large and has a small meal every meal? Use foil to prevent food layers, this prevents food from sticking together, and thinly spread foods also thaw faster. Separating the 2 layers of meat with foil prevents the meat from sticking to each other. The way to do it is very simple: Put the food in the box, spread 1 layer of foil, place the second layer of food, then put foil again, and do so until the box is full. Or you can replace foil with banana leaves, that will better protect the environment. Choose good food containers According to Ms. Ha, in order to preserve food well, fresh for a long time, the food containers must be really good. Should use a storage box suitable for the freezer. There are several types of high-end plastic containers, which when storing frozen food, are easy to remove, but the food does not stick to the side of the box. The sealed box has both good preservation and no mixed smell in the refrigerator, for 7-10 days for vegetables, and still fresh for 20 days of fruits.

Outdoor paving materials, necessarily anti-slip. In the design process, homeowners rarely pay attention to this issue, but only care about the functional needs, the form of the house. But to the construction stage – especially in the finishing stage; in connection with the procurement and use of materials; even though it is possible that a very clear and specific designation is given in the engineering design drawing; The owner still likes … to go to the material market to actually see, to choose materials for his house. The “conflict” between the designer and the owner about the choice and use of the material still occurs often. Architects have expertise and overview, choose the right materials; But sometimes the architect is too fond of his style, does not care to grasp the needs and psychology of the host. And the homeowner chooses materials according to the feelings, without the overall look. Many types of display materials are beautiful, but put into the work is not beautiful, or in particular a particular area is not suitable. In many cases, the materials are chosen by architects to beautify the house, but the owner is … warm and unsatisfied; and conversely, homeowners (arbitrarily) choose materials rarely in the opinion of architects. This is a professional job, but the new owner is the direct user of the project, related to those materials and the person… to spend money. Therefore, to have a common voice; then the architect must grasp, learn the needs, living habits and home psychology (with members); but the owner needs to listen to the advice of a specialist, avoid the type of “shopping” for the material, see something good, beautiful (at that time) and then pick up. The concept of beauty and the needs and aesthetic level of each person is different. Therefore, in order to choose the right materials and come to a common voice, in general, the experience of some architects is that – apart from the financial factor, it is necessary to adhere to some specialized principles. subject and each side also need to have an attitude of respect, “yield” to each other. Chandeliers are an important element in classical European architectural style. Suitable for use Materials used in architectural works, first of all, must be suitable for function; This is the most important principle. Each space, each function room, each type of structure and part of architecture has different positions and roles, it is necessary to have materials with suitable mechanical – physical – chemical properties. Floor tiles where water is available (courtyards, toilets) require slip resistance first, and then other issues such as patterns, colors …; garden and exterior materials must be resistant to natural conditions (rain, sun); materials and equipment in the bathroom must be water-resistant, high-moisture-resistant, and electrical safe; the cooking material must be heat resistant … Suitable for use space g Each space, each room in the house has its own specific function, for human activities living, living or working in it. In order to provide the correct functional effect, the materials need to be suitable as well. For example, the living room next to the garden on the ground floor needs airy, comfortable, close to nature, can use natural materials; Upstairs the common room provides closeness; the bedroom should be quiet and warm; music and entertainment rooms need an impression … In addition to the design in the functional space, the interior layout; Then the use of materials, equipment, materials in these spaces also contributes to creating the desired space. Suitable architectural style – interior Each house has an architectural style and interior, according to the will, needs of the owner with the advice of the architect; and designed in that direction by the architect. In order to create style, the role of the material and how it is used is very important. Each architectural – interior style requires the respective materials and the correct way of using them. Modern style has many new materials such as glass, steel, stainless steel …; Eastern classical style has a deep sound of brown wood with sophisticated details; The rustic folk style has the presence of natural materials such as bamboo, wood, stone … Natural stones, ceramic tiles, wood and trees create a rustic, close garden feel. Matching ratio Ratio is an important factor in architecture. Some spaces requiring use of materials are involved in this, especially tiled surfaces. The area of ​​a floor, the height of the walls, and the space of the room need the right proportions. The bathroom is usually small, so choose the moderate size ceramic tiles; should not be too big, if you calculate the parity the better. If using a large brick size, in addition to inconsistent proportions and visuals, it also causes wasteful damage due to much cutting. Some types of architectural parts are now pre-engineered with many sizes, for example, doors need to be based on the area, the height of the room, the space of the wall to choose the right size. Correlation in harmony with the surroundings A building is using many types of materials, in many spaces and spaces that are related to each other. In order to have a harmonious whole, this also needs to be noted. That relationship can be in itself in each function room, within the project; Or out in the garden, on the alley – the street. It is necessary to consider the relationship and surrounding landscape for material selection. For example, at present, there are many townhouses and apartments designed with living room space – living together with the kitchen – dining. The living room floor – common living room or parquet; and the tiled kitchen. These two materials have different origins, different properties coexist on the same ground; and so it is necessary to choose the appropriate species, which can “go together”. In general, the selection and use of materials are very important for architectural works. In a way, there is no such thing as a ugly or beautiful material. Bad or beautiful is whether it exists properly, in the right place in the project or not. Choosing the right materials, beautifying, correcting the space, the overall project. This requires both creativity, sophistication and designer’s experience; the harmony, the predestined relationship in the architect and the host’s relationship./.

Many years ago, my uncle Warm often made an appointment when my grandmother’s death anniversary was reunited in Thanh Minh period. “My family goes to Duoi market so that we can go to Mo market very much. Why does Ms. Ba have to go up to Buoi market to shop for something, far away?”, Mr. Warm asked. My mother replied: “I let her grandchild go to the market. I just went back to Buoi market with many things to carry to let him know the market is fair.” Come on vegetables, melon and fruit cake, all kinds of fragrant leaves. That is the way to go to the market from the previous day to contribute to my grandmother’s death anniversary, my mother used to let my children go to the market. The price of the train ticket at that time was only a few cents to hear tinkling to Dong Xuan market, through Hang Dau booth, then through Quan Thanh temple, finally up to Buoi market. The fair is over, the hat is undulating, the burden is full of people, the hat is full of leaves, and the clothes are black and cloth. In March the carpentry flower bloomed, the thorny taffeta rose, I had a market filled with the scent of flowers. Then my mother gave me a gift of silk rolls on the eyes of Mrs. Tu hump. Mrs. Tu’s back was cuffed, but her cake was thin and delicious. Fish sauce from the market is not as delicious as at home, but Mrs. Tu adds a taste of ca cuong and fresh chili, a pinch of oregano, the taste of home market gifts. Once I took the tram back, down the lake, my mother fed me pho. Now I want to find the market in Hanoi, no longer see the burden anymore. The lever, perhaps only sold at the market Vieng – fair only for luck. From rows of vegetables, fruit rows, bamboo cages containing geese, chickens, baskets, baskets … many things it kept hidden in the heart, could not erase the soul of the twisted pair on the shoulder. human life of the last century. In March, it was drizzling and rainy, so I just wanted to get sunny. Who can buy March sunshine in Hanoi? The sun also makes the face of the countryside market, especially the shops, to smell the spices. Curved beams, one side of the burden is cold vermicelli vermicelli, wooden ladle pouring vinegar flavored with vinegar suddenly sour and spicy of dried chili and pounded with chicken fat. The vermicelli leaves count hundreds, the small mussel leaves are filled with cold water. the whole season of com, bringing rice steam into the city. Now the Hanoi market lacks a couple, the Mo market, the Buoi market, is already bright high-rise greenhouses. The counter selling tobacco leaves, the herbal medicine of Dai Yen villagers is also located on the cement base. Cement and paving stone, have breathed the flavor of the leaves, let the natural look of nature in the market soul. Then the basket is sifted, and the bamboo is less. Second, to bamboo shoots, vermicelli, rice cakes also vacuum. If you keep going to the supermarket at the listed price with the glasses on, sometimes the old mother just gazes blankly … everything in the modern market has changed drastically. Watching people swipe the payment card, no bargaining and no challenge. I go to the market, the soul of the Hanoi fair and the old country market still has something to look back today, to see the figure of the curved lever, the bamboo rays scattered on the shoulders of my mother, her shoulder, of old Hanoi. season.

Nestled in the alley at 86 Nguyen Du Street (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) near Notre Dame Cathedral, the crab soup shop of Mr. Tam and his wife has been a famous snack place in Saigon for nearly 28 years. Previously, the shop was opened by Mr. Tam’s mother in front of Hoa Binh Primary School to make a living for the family. However, for about 10 years now, she has passed on her skills and the restaurant to the shop’s husband and wife. 7-8 years ago, due to the increasing number of diners coming to the restaurant, Mr. Tam and his wife decided to move their business to Nguyen Du street as the present. Since then until now, Notre Dame’s crab soup shop is still packed with a cart, two rows of plastic chairs placed close to the two sides of the alley for customers to eat on the spot. Every day, the shop starts selling from 10:30 to 21:00 or until the stock is out. During that time, Mr. Tam’s wife and an employee were always in a state of chaos, from cleaning up, preparing ingredients, changing soup pots to serving customers to buy and use on the spot. “In the morning, my husband still has to deliver goods, drive more cars, so I can only go down the afternoon. So I have to handle a lot of things, very busy!”, The owner shared. Over the past two decades, Notre Dame Crab Soup has always been a favorite destination for many diners thanks to its delicious taste and unchanged quality after years of trading. A full cup of hot soup costs 20,000 VND, including ingredients such as soft shell crab, flour, shiitake mushrooms, snow mushrooms, quail eggs, herbal eggs and many spices. His wife Tam revealed that this soup recipe was kept by her mother-in-law since 1993, and now passed on to the couple doing business. Every day, the owner and his wife always get up at 5am, go to the market early to choose the freshest ingredients, then deliver the goods from their home in Phu Nhuan district to the point of sale. “Food business is not easy. Waking up early in the morning and at noon have to wait for customers to rest their hands and then keep busy until evening. When I took over the restaurant from my mother-in-law, my wife and I found it quite hard because we were not used to it. Now it is different, “said the owner. His wife Tam said that due to the business along the two alleys, not every place has a roof. Every time it rains, diners have to sit crouched inside, but it is hard to avoid being thrown. However, few people complain because most of them are “real customers” and curious young people. In addition, the shop also has many customers who buy it to take away, avoiding the situation of waiting too long. Around 5:00 pm, the crab soup shop of Mr. Tam and his wife started to get crowded. Mr. Tam (38 years old), in time to finish his morning job to help his wife trade. As soon as he arrived, the boss quickly welcomed the customers, listened to order and brought soup. “In the old days, I used to help my mother to do business and do some errands, but when I personally run this place, I find it difficult. Now that I get used to it, I am happy with the customers,” said this man. Thanks to its location in the central area, affordable price and long-standing reputation, Tam’s family crab soup shop has received a lot of love from the people of Saigon. Mr. Tai, an office specialist of 8X generation, is one of the customers who regularly visit the restaurant. “I find the crab soup here is quite delicious, the price is commensurate with the business location in the city center. Hungry afternoon, eating a cup like that is enough to work until evening,” he said. Ms. Le Vy (29 years old, living in Phu Nhuan district) identified herself as one of the “real customers” of Mr. Tam’s restaurant. Ten years ago, when I was in high school, she often came here to eat. Now, sometimes she still visits the restaurant to eat crab soup with her friends. “The point that I love most about this soup is the herbal egg. Many people may not eat it, but I really like the taste of it,” said the flight attendant.

With only one stall, two plastic tables and a few children chairs, this place has become the livelihood of the host’s family for nearly 30 years. For nearly 30 years, the restaurant, run by Mrs. Thuan and her husband, has been constantly changing dishes, with no overlapping days. After many years of doing business, Mrs. Thuan’s restaurant is still a familiar destination for many local diners thanks to its unique selling style: the menu never sells the same item. “The owner cooks clean and delicious! Everyday she changes a different dish, I have to ask to know what to eat now!”, A guest dined at the Tam Tam restaurant. Change dishes to help bored Share with Zing Ms. Thuan said that this restaurant was opened by the couple when they were young and moved here to live. Up to now, when their children have grown up and have a stable job, grandmother and husband continue to maintain the shop in order to earn more money in and out. Regularly every day, the couple get up at 4 o’clock to go to the market, prepare ingredients and serve the goods. When Mrs. Thuan cooks, the husband will take care of the calf handling, cleaning, and other chores. “For nearly 30 years, my wife and I have been taking care of this restaurant together. He is very much without him,” said the owner. The dish every day is decided by the owner based on the ingredients purchased to ensure the quality of the dish. Besides the skill of cooking, the special feature that makes this restaurant can stand firm after about three decades lies in the unique selling style. There is absolutely no fixed menu here, each day a different dish, no day is duplicated. Therefore, diners cannot know in advance what they will enjoy today. “Since opening the store until now, I have always tried to change the food every day. I think customers who eat one dish all the time are tired, having more options like that would be better”, the owner confided. In order to continuously renew the menu, Ms. Thuan has to go to the market twice a day, late in the afternoon and early in the morning. From 17:00 the day before, she will go to the market to buy bones, fresh meat, vegetables and other ingredients must wait until 4 o’clock the next day. “Choosing food then I decide what to do. Changing dishes continuously is not too difficult because I often cook water, but so customers are always curious and eager”, Ms. Thuan revealed. “Believe in the skills of the owner” When asked if any customer has ever complained about this unique way of selling, the shop owner said that because most of them are “real customers” living around here, everyone is accustomed to asking questions before ordering. “Yesterday I sold bun Mam, today I changed to cook beef noodle soup. Meals with seasoned vermicelli, one day vermicelli soup. Every day a customer likes, they will eat, otherwise, the next day. I don’t mind. Specialist, each has a taste that! “, Mrs. Thuan shared. Trading on Thap Muoi street for a long time, the owner almost knows the taste of the majority of “gut termites”. Accordingly, Hue beef noodle soup is the most popular dish. During the days of noodle cooking, the number of customers flocked to a lot more, the orders to order to bring back were also more. “In the past few years, the number of visitors has also decreased, mainly residents around here come to eat. They are a working population, after cleaning the store, then come to breakfast or ask me to bring bowl over,” her husband Thuan said. Because customers are mainly people around Thap Muoi street, the shop will bring bowl to the place as required. Whether it’s beef noodle soup, Hue beef vermicelli, noodle soup or banh canh, the dishes here are always priced at 30,000 VND / bowl. Most customers at the restaurant believe that this is a reasonable price, commensurate with the quality of the meal. Mr. Vinh (born in 1971) is one of the loyal diners at this popular breakfast restaurant. Every morning around 7am, this man will come over here to have a meal before going to work. “I have been eating here since I was young, almost every day. Every day I change a different dish, but I do not feel troublesome because I believe in the skills of the hostess,” this guest said. Mr. Dung (residing in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) also regularly visits the shop to support the couple of Mrs. Thuan because the food is palatable, the price is reasonable and the way to work is convenient. “Eating here for a long time, but I have never wondered about the quality of the food. Every day I like it, I buy it, otherwise I will make an appointment later. . The dish changes every day, but no customers complain, wondering because they believe in the skills of the owner.

It was Cooc Mò, a strange sounding name. The cakes are lovely, fancy but hidden deep inside are the quintessence of traditional culinary culture of a part of ethnic minorities in the northern mountainous region – the Tay, Nung … Sticking with the childhood of many children here, and then enduring until today. The small and pretty cakes are very popular with the kids Coming to Chiem Hoa, Tuyen Quang, the people here are no stranger to this cake. According to the people here, Cooc Mo in Tay language means cow horn (Cooc is horn, Mo is cow) is simply a cake with a spike like a cow’s horn. Simple as that, but once you try it, you will definitely remember forever by the rich and fragrant flavor of sticky rice and green beans or red peanuts. To get the fragrant and fragrant cakes is a whole process of wrapping people. From the process of selecting rice, choosing the seeds and leaves to wrap the cake to the way of arranging the leaves and tying the cake. Cooc Co cake is wrapped in dong or banana leaf. The people here choose green leaves that are not torn or damaged. Leaves are taken and washed, drained. Next is the process that requires the baker’s meticulousness that is splitting and making wrapping wire. The cake package is split from a Giang or Mo tree. These plants are soft, chewy and unbroken. The satisfactory grade is to be evenly small and soft so that the leaves do not tear when the package is cut. But today many people replace the split cloth with ropes for more convenience. Rice to make cakes must be fragrant glutinous glutinous rice, the seeds are milky and round. When ripe, there is a certain plasticity that is neither too sticky nor dry. After careful selection, the sticky rice is rinsed with water several times until the water is clear. Continue soaking the rice for many hours until the rice is soft. Rice meets standards, when lightly squeezed, the rice kernels will break apart. At that time, the baker will pick up the rice to drain it, then mix it with crushed green beans (or red peanuts) and add a little salt to taste. Wanting to make lovely and delicious cakes, in addition to choosing ingredients, also requires the ingenuity and meticulousness of the mothers in wrapping the cake. The process of wrapping the cake not only determines the aesthetics of the cake, but the way of wrapping it also affects the “deliciousness” of this cake. The green leaves are rolled up like a funnel, then pour the mixed rice and beans inside, gently pat the outside to let the rice down evenly or use a small chopstick to compress the rice, then fold the edge of the leaves and use plain Interlink. The hands deftly fold the leaves like artisans perfecting their artworks. Only when witnessing with their own eyes, people can see admiration for human creativity and even more delight in their hand movements. The leaves are folded into a funnel shape, and the baker will slowly pour the rice and pat it until the rice is tight enough The quality of the wrapped cake is when there are neat corners, the leaves are wrapped tightly and tied tightly enough. Ms. Ma Thi Dung, a Tay ethnic minority in Ban Rua, Chiem Hoa, Tuyen Quang shared: “The way of wrapping this cake is quite special, and not everyone can pack it well, must be skillful people. For those who are new to wrapping, they may have to fumble about a dozen cakes before they can wrap them up. According to her, the experience of making Cooc Mo cake is that when tying the cake, it should not be tied too tightly, it will make the leaves tear, the rice grain cannot bloom, it is easy to be embarrassed and not flexible. If forced loosely, the cake is absorbed much water, it is easy to be sticky and not delicious. After wrapping, the cake is soaked in cold water until the water surface does not appear, then the cake has absorbed enough water, so it will cook quickly and evenly. After finishing wrapping, the cake will be threaded into pairs or small bunches, put in a pot to boil for about two hours and the cake is cooked. Cooc Mo cake, when ripe, has the light green color of the banana leaves, the soft taste, the pure aroma of the high mountain fields. Finished wrapping, filled with water and boiled for about 2 hours Although the cake does not have a filling, the more you chew it, the more you can feel the aroma, fat, and flexibility hidden in each sticky grain. Depending on the taste of each person, the cake can be dipped with sesame salt or the sweet lover can eat the Cooc Mo cake with honey or the diameter is also very delicious. The cake comes with different kinds of dipping food depending on the preferences of each person The current Cooc Mo in Tuyen Quang has become an indispensable cake in the people’s life not only for children but also for adults. “In the past, on the occasion of the full moon festival in March, July, people used to pack this cake, nowadays, the family often packs Cooc Mo cake on a regular basis. Everyone likes to eat, so almost every house knows the package now. ” – Ms. Dung happily shared. Cooc Mo today is not only a folk food but has become a beautiful memory growing up with many childhoods. In the children’s memories here, cake is an invaluable gift that mothers often bring when shopping. This is a food used to celebrate the new rice, rewarding children in the area when obeying. During the day of the cradle, the Tay and Nung also use this specialty with the meaning of wishing the baby to grow up and be healthy. Not only famous in Tuyen Quang but in other localities such as Bac Kan, Lang Son, Thai Nguyen, Quang Ninh, … this cake is very “loved” by all diners. Although each region will have changes in taste, but Cooc Mo cake represents the culinary quintessence of Tay and Nung people all over the country. Enjoy the piece of cake, all of the local wind blends together to create a rustic, close flavor with a very distinctive mark of the mountainous people. Each childhood memory rushed back into the hearts of every child, especially with the expatriate children. Come to think of it, I feel “crave” to enjoy this wonderful cake.
