Vietnam’s Day of Pho events officially launched
Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper, the Vietnam Culinary Culture Association and the Nam Dinh administration jointly held the press meeting to introduce the activities in response to the Day of Pho . December 12 was officially designated as the ‘Day of Pho ’ – a celebration of Vietnam’s most popular dish – in 2018, one year after the first ‘Day of Pho ’ was initiated and held by Tuoi Tre . Numerous Pho Day events have since become annual cultural and culinary activities, aiming to further promote pho , a Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, rice noodles, herbs and meat – usually beef or chicken. This year’s Day of Pho gala, with the theme of Tinh hoa hoi tu (Convergence of quintessence) will take place in Nam Dinh Province in northern Vietnam from December 10 to 12.
