TASTE OF VIETNAM 2022
The Taste of Vietnam event in 2022 was a celebration of the beauty and cultural significance of Vietnamese traditional Ao Dai. Through a series of unique artistic performances, inspired by the harmony between Heaven and Earth, visitors were able to immerse themselves in the elegance and grace of this iconic garment.
From the intricate embroidery to the flowing lines, each performance showcased the artistry and tradition that are at the heart of Vietnamese culture. The event was a true tribute to the enduring legacy of the Ao Dai, and a testament to the creativity and talent of Vietnamese artists.
TASTE OF VIETNAM 2019
Participants on a journey of exploration were able to discover the vibrant tapestry of Vietnam's rich cultural heritage through a deep dive into the country's 54 ethnic groups. They had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the unique traditional costumes that embodied the essence of each community, and indulged in the mouth-watering flavors of authentic dishes that tantalized their taste buds.
