Having lived in Angola for 10 years now, Vu Van Vo (SN 1994) still cooks pure Vietnamese meals for his family.
Rice tray presented by Vu Van Vo. Presented extremely beautifully, Vo’s plump, multi-dish dishes made the online community admire. Van Vo said that he was born in Bac Ninh, went to Africa to live and work since he was 17 years old. Currently, he works at a photocopy and photography shop in a rural area of the country of Angola (Africa). Having lived in Africa for 10 years, Vo still finds it difficult to eat local food. “There are few dishes that I feel good about, one of them is grilled goat – a specialty of Angola. That’s why I often cook Vietnamese food for my family.” The 27-year-old said that he works from Monday to Saturday, so he often “draws” on weekends. As a person who loves to cook, Vo’s cooking and presentation methods are self-taught online, plus his own creativity, he has never taken any cooking courses. 
“To cook Vietnamese food here, I often have to go to the city 40-50km from home to buy ingredients. But not everything is available to buy, so when I cook, I have to fix it myself “- Vo shared. The cost for these 6-person rice trays, if calculated in Vietnamese money, is quite expensive – usually ranging from 4-10 million VND. For example, a meal with grouper costs VND 10 million, because a 6 kg fish alone costs VND 6 million. “As for the more simple meals, I cook 400-500,000 VND/meal every day,” Vo said. “People who come to the house to eat rice often praise the beautiful tray of rice and do not want to eat it. I feel very happy and motivated to cook more delicious meals.” Vo also confided that he has been to Africa since 2011 but he has only visited his hometown once in 2015. Therefore, he is very homesick and the dishes have a taste of his homeland. 
Vo’s rice trays cost from 4 to 10 million VND / meal for 6 people to eat.
