A glimpse of Uruguay on the embassy walls

The posters are enlarged photos with deep captions in Vietnamese and Spanish representing the South American country’s most striking landscapes, cities, food and festivals.

In his speech to address the poster opening ceremony, Ambassador Raul Pollak Giampietro expressed his happiness to see life return to Hanoi, contrasting with what he saw when he arrived one year ago during the pandemic.

“Since the first time I looked at the walls of the embassy, I thought something should be done for their enhancement,” he said.

“We are lucky to have a building in an excellent location, in a beautiful district, to which we wanted to contribute adornment. Besides, we wanted to bring our country closer to the Vietnamese.

“Thus, we thought that showing some of the iconic images of our countryside, heritage buildings, and touristic sites would be a great way to do so.”

He said though the 11 images seemed a lot, it was not easy to make the selection, and his team has tried to reflect the country’s whole spirit, culture and traditions.

“I do hope that the images we selected to showcase on the embassy’s outer walls will help bring our country closer to the Vietnamese, contribute to allure of the neighbourhood, and the enjoyment of visitors and passers-by,” he said.

The exhibition is permanent at the embassy on 61 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.

Red Vermicelli: Dak Lak’s Delicious Delicacy

Image
Buon Ma Thuot not only has premium coffee with a unique delicious taste, but also many other famous delicacies such as wine, marinated chicken, fragrant rice tubes, and especially the excellent red vermicelli. Red vermicelli is a popular specialty of Dak Lak. Although there are some similarities with vermicelli in the South, the famous red vermicelli in the “capital of coffee” is very different. It has big, firm vermicelli, similar to Southern beef vermicelli but slightly better, about the size of a chopstick, chewy and crispy. Different from sophisticated dishes like pho in Hanoi, vermicelli with fish in Quy Nhon, bun bo Hue, or vermicelli in Can Tho, Ban Me red vermicelli is extremely rustic, strange, and especially delicious. At first glance, red vermicelli is quite similar to crab vermicelli, but this dish is made from pure crab meat, pureed pork and fat, vegetables, bean sprouts, and of course, boiled quail eggs.
