Experience
your
exciting and
memorable
culinary
journeys in
Vietnam and
around the
world.
Friday afternoon, I’m going home after
a busy week with tons of deadlines. A
few stairs are long enough to make me
tired. I’m trying to climb step by step.
Suddenly, I catch the scent of baked
cakes in the air. Yeah, that is Joseph.
This enchanting scent must come from
the kitchen of the “conjurer”, Joseph!
All my weariness seems to disappear.
I run quickly up the last stairs, calling
out loud “Uncle Joseph”. Upon coming
in, I hug him from his back. The sweet
smell of cream cheese is still lingering
on his hair.
Thanks to his career and hobbies, he
has had chances to travel around the
world. He has cooked the delicious
dishes he has learned on his travels
since I was a little girl. He also tells
me how he “met” those dishes. No
matter how mature I am, his dishes and
culinary stories are always miraculous.
Now, we are preparing the last plates
for our dinner today while happily
telling funny stories. This time, he is
the listener as I’m sharing with him my
recipes and my passion for cooking.
Actually, in that busy life, what could be
more important than the excitement
we have whenever enjoying or cooking
scrumptious dishes?
Why don’t you share with us your
own excitement during your culinary
journeys?

CUISINE
Thai Market was one of the first
Thai restaurants on the scene in
Hoi An. The restaurant's menu is
categorized with spicy, sour, and sweet
dishes. Apart from retaining their Thai
authenticity, dishes can be customized to
meet diners' tastes.
One of the signature dishes at the Thai
Market is Pad Thai cao l«u which satisfies
both locals and visitors. Instead of using
small noodles, the chefs use cao l«u of
Hoi An to stir fry with shrimp, shallots,
peanuts, and chili powder, according to
the Thai recipe. Apart from delicious
dishes, drinks such as Thai green tea,
red tea, and star fruit cocktails are also
delicious. With an airy space, caring
staff, delicious food, and drinks, the Thai
Market will satisfy all guests.

Nestled on the sands of Phu Quoc Island’s stunning
southwest coast, La Veranda Resort Phu Quoc
MGallery by Sofitel transports you to a forgotten
age of elegance. Imbued with the grandeur of a
French colonial mansion and cocooned by lush
tropical gardens, every detail of the 70 spacious
rooms evokes an era when life was slower, simpler.
More refined.
The birth and development of La Veranda
Resort was attributed to its founder,
Madame Catherine, a regal French woman
with ancestral ties to Phu Quoc. More than
a century of history and adventure is built into the
walls and ornate furnishings of La Veranda. Madame
Catherine’s grandfather was first lured from China
to the sleepy backwater of Phu Quoc in the 19 th
century with grand visions of farming lucrative
pepper crops. But the power of romance would
dramatically change this family’s course. He fell in
love with Madame Thanh, Catherine’s grandmother,
a local woman who sells fish sauce, and together the
young couple embarked on a bold journey to Phnom
Penh to pioneer the beginnings of a prosperous fish
sauce enterprise.
Raised in Phnom Penh and on the picturesque
waterways surrounding Tonle Sap Lake, Madame
LA VERANDA RESORT PHU QUOC
Tran Hung Dao Str, Duong Dong beach, Phu Quoc island, Vietnam
* Tel: 07 7398 2988 * Website: laverandaresort.com
Catherine’s childhood during the height of French
rule inspired her designs for an authentic 1920s
French colonial-style mansion by the sea - La
Veranda’s charming main house.
La Veranda was built in 2004 intended as a refuge
for her retirement. In this land of her ancestors,
she designed and decorated an authentic 1920’s
French colonial sanctuary as a living monument to
her family’s history. The furnishings, art works and
period collectibles reflect more than a century of her
family’s journey from Phu Quoc to Phnom Penh...
and finally back home to their maritime roots.
Since opening to travellers around the world in
2006, La Veranda Resort has been embracing guests
in perfect privacy and tranquility. Through the years,
the resort has won various awards for guest service
and has recently won the 2016 Luxury Beachfront
Boutique Hotel for Vietnam awarded by Luxury
Travel guide.
As it celebrates its 10 th anniversary, the hotel looks
back to where it all started - to a humble woman
who sells fish sauce who blazed the trail for Madame
Catherine, founder of luxury boutique La Veranda
Resort.

If you are
curious
about how
people
eat late
breakfast
in
different countries,
then visit The Social
Club, where you can
try French Banon,
Italian bisotto, black
Spanish pork, Chinese
dimsum, fresh seafood
including Josper
Roasted lobsters, and
oysters from Canada,
France, Vietnam.
What would be better
than enjoy a full set
of various types of
cheese including
Banon, Goat, Tommy,
Reblochon, Saint
Morgon, and Blue
Auvergne. You can
actually eat breakfast
like a king and have
lunch like a queen!
One of the favorite
cheeses is Banon
which is often made
by hand from goat's
milk in the town of
Banon, in the French
countryside. To make
Banon, goat's milk is
curdled and wrapped
in chestnut leaves
which have been
steeped in alcohol. So
it is slightly crispy and
extremely aromatic
while the inside is
creamy and greasy
with the scent of grass.
Cheese is best served
with dried fruits nuts,
and toast as well.
You can also try
greasy Risotto with
the familiar Italian
cream flavor. Fresh
pasta is quite popular
in pizza bakeries and
Italian restaurants
in Saigon. However,
only few restaurants
serve risotto as it
is important to use
Italian rice. The rice is
cooked with a soffritto
mixture consisting of
onion, cream cheese,
butter, and olives.
This mixture creates
a cover for rice before
it is dipped in wine
and cooked with
Parmigiano-Reggiano
cheese. Delicious
authentic risotto must
be soft as if it could
melt in your month.
The head chef Anne-
Cäcile Degenne
makes the brunch
buffet more special
with sweet deserts
including cupcakes,
Dark Emperor Cake,
almond berries tart),
Kalamansi tart, Yuzu
& white chocolate,
Coffee crÃme brulee,
and –clairs. How do
you make the jam
layer fresh and not too
sweet or make spongy
meringue from egg
white? Each cake is
sophisticatedly made
from the heart of the
chef.
Why not treat yourself
to a relaxing brunch
with your friends this
weekend?

How To Eat Your Way
THROUGH DA LAT
Text: Phan Cac Truc

GRILLED CRICKETS - THE
BIZARRE FUTURE FOOD
Founded in 2013, the Next
Millennium Farms (NMF)
in Toronto, Canada, is a
9,000-square-foot cricket
farm. It has received $50,000 in
exchange for a 5 percent share in
the company a few years ago. Exo,
one of their partners, receives large
profits from manufacturing protein
bars from NMF's cricket flour and
sold approximately 50,000 bars
a month in 2014. In Cambodia,
you find people standing around
nibbling from the bags of deep-fried
crickets they've promised to bring
home to their wives and children.
In Thailand, eating fried insects in
Bangkok appears on the check-list
of most daring travelers. A bag of
crispy fried crickets definitely has
an edge over chips, both in terms
of nutritional value and the exotic
element. Few tourists traveling to
Da Lat know that the city is also
a land where you can sample this
smoking hot new nutritional trend
around the world.
Rich in protein and low in
cholesterol, you may be surprised to
find that crickets have about three
times as much of muscle-aiding
minerals as beef does, and provide
more iron than spinach, and nearly
five times as much magnesium
as beef. Let alone tons of calcium,
amino acids, omega 3, and vitamins.
Furthermore, crickets are clean'
insects since they eat mostly corn,
leaves, or cereal in nature. While
visiting the farm in Da Lat, you see
people feeding them fresh grains
and corn stalks which clean out
anything unsavory.
There is a strange and sometimes,
to many foreign tourists, terrible
- appeal to eating crickets. If you
haven't been fooled by what people
usually say about it, try it. You may
happen to like its sweet, greasy,
meaty, and crunchy flavor. A true
delicacy to me, grilled crickets melt
right in the mouth. Grilled, or
prepared as cricket powder, crickets
make an ideal accompaniment for
appetizers. The tour guide revealed
"You should have rice alcohol
before tasting the crickets, it creates
a stronger flavor." Sip some rice
wine, and dip your grilled crickets in
ketchup, and you are ready to have
a healthy snack at mid-day. There
are also crickets stuffed peanuts or
fried crickets with herbs and noodles
to offer. Never judge a book by its
cover! You will never understand
how impressive it tastes if you are
biased by its look.
HOMEMADE BAGUETTE WITH
DA LAT MEATBALLS
Nicknamed Le Petit Paris, (Little
Paris) Da Lat offers her guests hot
and 'chameleon' baguettes. Yes, the
Vietnamese baguettes, or b∏nh m˙,
would remind you of a captivating
chameleon' which goes well with
everything around. It can go with
butter, cheese, herbs, veggies,
grilled pork, chickens, beef, even
condensed milk. Should you travel
to Da Lat soon, you would find the
new flavor: grilled baguette with chili
and shredded pork. There is nothing
better than waking up in a cold
morning and welcoming the day
with a b∏nh m˙ filled with so much
bold flavor.
Unlike Vietnamese baguettes in
other regions, where everything
is put inside the baguette for an
easy grab and go, Da Lat meatball
baguettes require you to sit down
and appreciate every sip of meatball
soup. A 'full-course' will include
a bowl of juicy meatballs, meat
paste, green onion, cilantro, and
homemade baguettes. The baguettes
are kept warm in a red hot coal
barbecue, or inside a bamboo basket,
which remains crispy on the outside
and cloudy in the inside. For locals
in "the city of eternal spring", a hot
cup of soy milk or hot peanut milk is
a perfect companion for breakfast.
One interesting fact about
Vietnamese food is that the most
significant flavors are often found
on street vendors. Therefore, don't
doubt your local friends if they take
you to some shabby looking place
on the pavement and tell you it's
one of the best in town. When I
was taken to the Hoang Dieu - Tran
Nhat Duat corner, I had no idea
that it was one of their best meatball
baguette stalls. With homemade,
pointed, and golden brown crust, the
meatball b∏nh m˙ here is probably
the most significant street food in
my must-have' list.
You can enjoy these dishes at:
Cricket farm Thien An, Me Linh, Lam Ha, Lam
Dong
Vietnamese b∏nh m˙ with meatball soup
around street stalls such as:
26 Hoang Dieu, Dalat, Lam Dong *231 &
235 Phan Dinh Phung, Da Lat, Lam Dong

THE
JOURNEY OF
EXPLORING
HIGH-END CUISINE
IN KANSAI
Kansai used to be the commercial capital of Japan. In this region, you will have a
chance to visit the beautiful harbor city Kobe, the kitchen of Japan - Osaka, Obama in
Wakasa Bay, and legendary Hikone with its old castle. However, the most appealing
thing for foodies is exploring the culinary map of this area which has delicious
Japanese dishes which are worth travelling around the world for.

KOBE BEEF, KOBE CITY
When you visit
Kobe, never miss a
chance to enjoy the
worldwide famous
Kobe beef. This Kansai specialty
costs about 500 USD - 3000 USD/
kg depending on the quality of the
beef (from A1 to A5). Kobe beef is
one of the world's most expensive
dishes and not just anyone can try
this dish as only about 1,500 to
3,000 Kobe cows are killed each
year to meet the domestic and
international demand.
I asked my guide whether these
cows were massaged and listened to
music as rumored. He nodded and
claimed that the process of feeding
Kobe cows is very strict. The cows
are given beer to induce appetite,
massaged, and listen to music to
release tension and remove extra
fat. Kobe cows are fed special
food which is far different from
that of common cows. Moreover,
locals have a strict rules to prevent
the cows from gaining too much
weight, ensuring that the beef is
properly marbled.
It's important to enjoy Kobe beef
in the Kansai style, Sukiyaki Kobe!
One of the most recommended
places to taste Kobe beef is at
Akanoren. Established in 1906, this
restaurant is one of the first to serve
Kobe beef in Japan. An expert of
grilling beef will guide you in how
to make the most delicious steak.
Firstly, grill fat to take natural oil
from the beef. Slices of beef will
then be grilled with mirin, onion,
mushroom, and tofu. The grilled
beef is then dipped in a bowl of egg
yolk before being eaten. The eggs
are carefully selected. A quality egg
must be red and not have bad odor,
making the steak more tasty and
aromatic.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
For other recommended places to try Kobe beef
in Kobe, please visit www.hyogo-tourism.jp
FUGU (PUFFERFISH),
OBAMA CITY
To taste this expensive dish, you
must pay from 27.300 to 35.000
Yen for two at a 2-star Michelin
restaurant. Fugu is a very luxurious
and... dangerous dish that can only
been found in Japan. Some parts of
puffefish contain lethal tetrodotoxin
which is 1,200 times as dangerous
as xyanua (cyanide) in fresh bamboo
shoots. Only those who have
partaken in a special 3-year course
and received a license are allowed to
prepare Fugu. Therefore, you have
to visit large and famous restaurants
certified to serve Fugu rather than
preparing it by yourself at home.
Fugu, cut in the Usu-zukuri
technique is served only at
important parties or big events.
The thin translucent slices of fish
are arranged in the shape of a
daisy, representing longevity and
respect. If you want to eat Fugu
at more reasonable prices, visit
the coastal areas. Obama in Fukui
Province, famous for its sea road,
is an ideal place to try Fugu and
the freshest red king crab. We
stopped at Sekumiya, one of the
largest hotels in Obama, which is
just 2 minutes from the ocean and
an 11 minute walk from Obama
Station, to taste fugu-sashi (fugu
mixed rice) and fugu hotpot. My
fellow traveler kept asking "Did the
chef have a license?" and "are thre
any problems with it?". However,
after enjoying melt in your mouth
dishes, she understood why Fugu
is one of the most high-class
specialties in the world, attracting
countless diners despite the
potential dangers.

RED KING CRABS, OSAKA
We visited Kani Doraku, a famous
restaurant for red king crabs at 6:15pm.
My friend said that we were 15 minutes
late. Bookings only last 2 hours, and diners
are not allowed to stay at the restaurant
for longer than 2 hours according to the
reservation.
Unlike I had expected, the Doraku Kani
Restaurant is very small and located on
a busy street. Without the eye-catching
giant red king crabs which sometimes
move, there is little to differentiate this
restaurant with others. In Japan, renowned
restaurants are often simple. The Michelin
sushi stall of chef Jiro is near the subway
station and Kani Doraku is an example.
Japanese people love crab. Among different
types of crab, red king crab is the most
expensive. An imported crab in Vietnam
can cost 5 million VND. Red king crabs
can be very large, sometimes reaching a
carapace width of 28cm and a leg span of
1.8 m. These crabs only live in icy water
with high salinity and just leave their
home on stormy days. It's very difficult
and dangerous to catch them. This is also
the reason why a lunch with red king crab
at Kani Doraku Crab costs about 3,000 -
4,000Yen and a lunch costs 6,000 - 8,000
Yen/ set. A set includes crab tempura,
boiled/steamed crab, crab sashimi, steamed
egg with crab, and crab sushi. You can
enjoy dishes in set or choose from different
dishes based on your liking and budget.
No matter how crabs are prepared, the
meat is fragrant, soft, juicy, and firm. In
addition, the amount of protein, calcium,
phosphorus, iron, vitamins, calcium,
magnesium, and omega in red king crab is
very high. It's especially good for those who
must use their mental faculties extensively.
It's easy to understand why they are called
King crabs.

The blend of lemongrass, chilis, galangal, lemon leaves,
dried onion, lime, fish sauce, and greasy shrimp makes Tom
Yum Goong the pride of Thailand.
AS TOLD BY HISTORY, the
majority of Thai people are
descendants of migrants from
southern China. In the new land,
they continued preparing dishes
with signature spices of the
Yunnan region. This is why most
Thai cuisine is spicy.
On the other side, the cuisine
retains its attributes despite
having been influenced by the
two neighboring countries
- Malaysia and India. Curry
powder, dried shrimp powder,
lemongrass, dill, cardamom
powder, coriander, and satay can
been found in Thai dishes.
Although Thai people attend to
balancing the 5 basic flavors:
salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and
bitter; spiciness is the strongest.
Some claim that this is their
only prejudice against Thai food.
Dishes are very spicy even when
it's not the primary flavor. It's
difficult for foodies like me.
Having fallen in love with spicy
food, whenever visiting Thailand,
I usually eat tongue-searing
meals and then complain about
how spicy Thai food is!
District 13 Paris which are home
to some scrumptious dishes,
the spicy flavor and scent of
lemongrass in Tom Yum Goong
lingers on your palate, leading
you to what you should revisit.
Meanwhile, Somtum (green
papaya salad) from the
Northeastern area (Issan) is
a strange dish. Diners can be
divided into two groups, those
who are addicted to it and those
who just shake their heads when
someone tells them to try it.
Somtum is prepared with main
ingredients of garlic, chili, green
bean, tomato, shredded papaya,
and fish sauce. In some places,
peanuts, dried shrimp or crab are
added to make salad more crispy
and tasty. After preparing all
these ingredients, the chef will
put them into a pestle and pound
them for a while.
The blend of lemongrass, chilis,
galangal, lemon leaves, dried
onion, lime, fish sauce, and
greasy shrimp makes Tom Yum
Goong the pride of Thailand. In
any place at any time, even when
you are cycling in the breeze of
the North Sea or wandering in

FURTHER
INFORMATION:
- Directions: To visit
the Yodpiman River
Walk, you can go to
BTS to Saphan Taskin
wharf, find the place of
Yodpiman ships or travel
by taxi to Talad Pak
Klong, cross the market,
and enter the complex
from the back gate.
- Explore: If you are
a fan of afternoon tea,
pastries, and coffee,
don't miss a chance
to visit Casa Lapin to
experience one of the
favorite places to chill
out for Bangkok locals.
An artisanal flower shop
is nestled in front of the
cafä. You can simply
knock the door and ask
to explore that lovely
world.
PAD THAI (sweet sour fried noodles)
- a popular dish in every corner of
Thailand - also comes with a plate
of chili powder. Whenever I go to
eat Pad Thai with Penpisut, my local
friend. She adds a bowl of chili powder
to her plate without batting an eye.
Sometimes she even asks for more
chili! She probably knows how much
spice she can tolerate. Maybe it's how
she awakens her tastebuds.
For me, I usually order a plate of
mango sticky rice after enjoying Pad
Thai. It's best to enjoying mango
sticky rice at Food Republic which is
designed like New York's SOHO with
raw materials after wandering around
Siam Center. This makes me feel that
I'm eating my hometown's dish at the
center of the world.
Another location I love in Bangkok is
the Yodpiman River Walk on the bank
M a t t h e w T o n g
Jon Siegel
of the Chao Phraya River. As Yodpiman
was just opened in 2014, many locals
have not visited this entertainment
and restaurant complex. Unlike the
busy Asiatique, at Yodpima, you can
have traditional Thai food at Je Ngor,
Japanese food at Ootoya, or explore the
coffee shops, jewelry shops, or lovely
stores selling handicrafts.
One more reason I love Yodpiman is
that I feel compelled to walk through
the complex's back yard to visit the
famous fl ower market, Talad Pak
Klong. You can follow this wide
spectrum of colors and scents to
Bangkok's Old Town where you can see
locals freely enjoying their dishes or a
quiet lunch. Save this simple moment
as you can not fi nd anything like this at
any food court in the shopping malls
or chains of the impressively decorated
restaurants in Siam or Sukhumvit.

Thai people love lemongrass as much as they love peppers. Lemongrass;
therefore, is a signature feature in the cuisine of this land.

Thai cuisine is hot, and
lemongrass plays a special role in
this kind of flavor.
have their own recipes, creating different
impressions on Western visitors. While
Vietnamese dishes are elegant, focusing
more on fresh ingredients and harmony,
Thai cuisine is hot, and lemongrass
plays a special role in this kind of flavor.

Not only used in cooking,
lemongrass is also a part of
Thai daily life. They grow
lemongrass around their
house in both rural areas and luxurious
villas to ward off mosquitoes and
other insects. They extract lemongrass
for essential oils used in medicine,
cosmetics, and traditional therapies.
They drink fragrant tea made from
lemongrass and use it in most everyday
dishes.
Lemongrass is a common plant grown in
Southeast Asia. It's used in many dishes
in Vietnam and Thailand. These two
countries share common ingredients but
Every visitor must try Tom Yum - the
sour and spicy soup from the land of
golden temples. Apart from spicy chili
and the sour taste of fresh lime, Tom
Yum carries an appealing aroma of
lemongrass. However, not many people
know that lemongrass is used in most
Thai soups with fish, shrimp, or oysters.
Lemongrass stems are bruised, cut into
small pieces, and boiled before other
ingredients are added.
For visitors, curry is less well-known
than other Thai-style sour and spicy
dishes, but it is usually included in the
daily meals of Thai people. They eat
curries like soup and use a variety of
spices in cooking. Thai curries don't
have the strong flavor of Indian curries.
They focus more on the ingredients
and the texture by using coconut milk.
The green bell peppers, mint, and
lemongrass are not cooked through in
order to retain their flavor. For stirfry,
the leaves are crushed and mixed
in different ratios, creating different
curries with suitable colors and tastes for
different dishes.
One of Thailand's favorite dishes is pad
gung gaeng moo korb (crispy stir-fried
pork with red curry). This dish is like
love which draws you in but makes you

"hurt" because of it. The heat of the chilis, the
flavor of lemongrass, together with other signature
Thai spices such as garlic, coriander, pepper, and
onion create an explosion of taste and smell.
Thai people eat fresh lemongrass in salad. Khao
yam is a rice salad from the Northern Thailand.
Traditionally, Thais prepare khao yam with
ingredients from their gardens such as grated
sour mango, coconut flakes, bean sprouts, greens,
and dried shrimp. Of course, the indispensable
ingredient is lemongrass. Thin slices of
lemongrass are gently cut from the bulb to the
stem to keep its natural scent and sweet taste,
contributing to this delicious dish.
Every time I visit my favorite Thai restaurant, the
chef never forgets to put a blue bean flower from
his garden into my bowl. This is a precious little
thing that makes me love this country and the
people here.

All features needed to make a charming English land are found in Sheffield. There are
gorgeous churches, theaters, museums, a national park, and buildings in which the classical
architecture blends with modern styles. All of this brings thousands of visitors each year. But
the most appealing thing of this city is the cuisine of Yorkshire.

Remember that the first afternoon tea was introduced in England by
Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford
Numerous visitors flock to Sheffield of Yorkshire each year. After exploring
the city located in Northern England, they often rush to catch the train to Peak
District National Park. But wait, before admiring the beauty of nature, the
first thing every traveler must do is enjoy the delicious cuisine of Sheffield.
English cuisine doesn’t compare favorably to those in France, Italy, and
Spain. However, not many people know that in the past English cuisine
was much renowned throughout the world of the higher class as they were
prepared with a myriad of premium spices imported from English colonies.
As time passed, English people gradually paid less attention to their own
dishes. When they go out for meal at restaurants, they like discovering
new flavors from other countries. Therefore, Indian, Chinese, and Italian
restaurants have developed in every corner in Sheffield. This is also the
reason why you can indulge in the world of Asian and European dishes in
this English city.
In a cool afternoon, sit by the fireplace, sip a cup of hot tea with Parkin ginger
cake while watching snow falling outside. How comfortable it is!
Come to England and try English cuisine!
Remember that the first afternoon tea was introduced in England
by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840 and became
a fashionable social event among the upper class. British people
have their own way of enjoying their peaceful life. In a cool
afternoon, sit by the fireplace, sip a cup of hot tea with a Parkin ginger cake
while watching the snow fall outside. How cozy it is! Just a simple cup of
Yorkshire tea prepared by steeping a tea-bag in water before adding fresh
unsweetened milk is enchanting.
Britain boasts the English Sunday Roast, a signature dish which actually
isn’t just served on Sundays. They love eating roasted meat including pork,
lamb, chicken, and beef (the favorite). Grilled dishes are often served with
seasonal vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and peas boiled or baked with
a special brown sauce made from egg, flour, milk, mayonnaise, and fat from
grilled beef. What could be better than trying English Sunday Roast with the
famous Yorkshire pudding?

Whenever someone mentions English cuisine, he talks about Yorkshire
pudding. The first Sunday of February is even called Yorkshire Pudding
Day in Britain. In the past, servings of Yorkshire pudding were larger than
now. People often ate it before the main course to feel less hungry and eat
less meat. This was a popular habit in difficult economic times. The main
ingredients of Yorkshire pudding are egg, flour, and water or milk. This dish
can also be served as dessert or side dish for English Sunday Roast.
English- style Fish & Chips are quite different from those in the US and
France. The breaded fish fillet and fried potato aren’t crispy. They are
wrapped in newspaper. Enjoy them with a little salt, vinegar, lime, or sauce
and feel the tastes linger on your tongue. Be like an Englishman by eating
Fish & Chips with soft drinks.
A DAY IN SHEFFIELD SEEMED TO BE SHORT
As it takes me a lot of time just to explore the world of food. I greeted a
new day in Sheffield with an English-style breakfast including bacon, roast
sausage, fried mushrooms, tomato, eggs, and peas. For some people, a simple
breakfast can be bread with jam and cheese. Of course, a cup of coffee, tea, or
a glass of milk is indispensable.
After enjoying breakfast, I caught a train to Peak District National Park as
it was drizzling. Peak District is the oldest national park in England having
opened in 1951. I went through the forest and walked to a hill. The grey sky
reminded me about the scene in Wuthering Heights, a famous novel by
Emily Brontë. The story in this novel also took place in Yorkshire, only 60
miles from the place I was standing.
After walking a long way, I strolled down from Higger Tor Hill to The Fox
House which was built in 1773 and named after Mr. Fox of Callow Farm
in Highlow. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and attracts numerous
diners. There was a short couple on a date in this old house, making me feel
like I was in a scene from Harry Potter. I skipped the appetizer as I was
afraid that I couldn’t eat a lot and decided to have a caesar salad. Named
after the Roman emperors, this dish includes lettuce, thin slices of bacon,
mullet, and parmesan served with croutons. For dessert, I ate a Belgian Black
Chocolate cake with melted chocolate and Irish cream. These two dishes are
so delicious that I will remember this restaurant forever.
Although I was quite stuffed, I didn’t forget to sip a cup of hot Yorkshire
tea on that rainy day before returning to the city to visit the Lyceum Theater.
Your trip to beautiful Sheffield would never be complete without enjoying
Yorkshire pudding and watching drama!

destinations as Peak District
National Park, the Church of
St. Peter & Paul, Peace Garden,
Winter garden, Victoria marina,
and the city’s library. Moreover,
don’t forget to watch drama
in one of the three theaters in
Sheffield, Crucible, Lyceum, and
Studio.
NOTE:
ü It’s a bit cold in Sheffield in
October. You should bring a coat
and umbrella in case it rains.
DRINKS:
ü You should try the ginger beer
which has been produced since
the 1970s, or visit a bar to try
out a special cocktail prepared in
Sheffield.

Om mani padme hum is a Buddhist mantra
(prayer) that focuses on the awareness of
humanity when facing difficulties in life. Hum
- the last word of this mantra is a precious
pearl within a lotus. Therefore, upon arriving
in ...Hum Restaurant, you will realize this
space’s däcor is inspired by the lotus and
nature. Situated on the spacious Vo Van Tan
Street, ...Hum brings guests a quiet luxurious
place of tranquil lotus ponds, rustic Vietnamese
dinghies filled with local fruits, and colorful
curtains. The entire space reminds guests of
a simple Buddhist pagoda. Attractive dishes
include fried rice with pineapple which provides
you with vitamin C and digestive enzymes,
high-fiber fruit salad, crystal salad with fresh
Aloe Vera which can filter certain poisonous
chemicals and nourish your skin, and brown
rice in lotus leaves that carries vitamins
and minerals which are especially good for
regulating blood pressure. Young people seem
to like the lotus tubers in cheese powder, bitter
gourd and cottonii salad, steamed mushrooms
in coconut, tofu, and Pad Thai.

ROU
A MODERN VEGETARIAN SPACE
“R´u” in the Central Vietnamese dialect means
“rau” (vegetable). It’s an interesting way to refer
to vegetarian dishes, and it’s easy for foreigners to
pronounce the restaurant’s name. Located on the
busy Co Bac street, R´u looks outstanding with
the wall of assembled yellow windows, offering a
unique space for vegetarians. The delicious dishes
from fat choy salad, mushroom salad, green fried
rice, mushrooms with green pepper sauce, or flower
garden shiitake with their distinct color and taste
will surprise you. Prepared with fresh ingredients
and new recipes, snacks and desserts such as sweet
soup, cakes, and jelly are also recommended.
Unlike other vegetarian restaurants, R´u is trendy
and modern. Diners will not find Buddhist icons
or prayers, but have a chance to relax in an artistic
environment.

VEGETARIAN TIBETAN fLAVORS
With a gentle design combining a small garden with
Tibetan prayer towers and murals, the Mandala vegetarian
restaurant allows guests to enjoy the tranquility of the
land of Buddhists from the very first moments. One of
the favorites there is the 5-color vegetarian rice. The rice
is cooked with beet broth, then fried with 5 ingredients:
corn, peas, beans, carrots, and tofu. If you want to try new
flavors, enjoy the Putan noodles with tomato sauce. The
soft and tough noodles, enoki mushrooms and broccoli,
together with butter and satay make the dish perfect.
Apart from traditional vegetarian dishes such as crispy
fried pumpkin flowers or stir-fried winged beans with
pemmican, you can also try the vegetarian hotpot, Nepalese
cellophane noodle salad, ÆÀu hÒ ph◊ phµ (fried tofu with
egg white and milk), and 5-spice fried calabash.

Sip fragrant tea
in a French-style space
For a long time, Le Club at the Sofitel Legend
Metropole Hanoi has been the ideal place to fill up
that “sinking feeling” in the late afternoon. Sip a cup
of tea with pastries, cookies, and macarons prepared
by the skillful chefs while relaxing and enjoying your
time at the elegant atmosphere of the restaurant.
Apart from the brand new selection of top-of-therange
teas imported from China, India, and Sri Lanka,
Le Club is introducing guests to some black teas
which are great for afternoon tea. Amber-colored and
fragrant, blended black teas such as Darjeeling, rich
Earl Grey, and mellow English breakfast are popular
choices.
Black teas taste wonderful alone or served with sugar,
honey, milk, or cream. Or you can take your tea
Russian style, with lemon, sweetened with raspberry
jam and sipped through a lump of sugar placed in the
mouth. Oriental Green teas such as Green Mint Tea,
are best served plain or with lemon.
High tea is served from 3:00 pm to 5:30am every
afternoon. Price: VND465,000++/tray. You can share
your tray with a friend.

What could be better than indulging yourself in the aroma of fresh
mint or enjoying the scents of flowers in cool days?
With a selection of high-end
teas, Vietnam’s 6 star hotel
Reverie will introduce you
to the world of British
aristocrats of the past. Those
who are interested in traditional ranges of tea
should not miss Assam Gbop, Earl Grey Fleurs,
and Darjeeling De Printemps Gfop. While Assam
Gbop boasts the flavor of spring in North Eastern
India with bright colors and a strong taste of malt,
Darjeeling De Printemps Gfop represents the
spring from the Himalayan foothills with fresh,
floral and aromatic notes and intense aromas of
almond and ripe fruit.
Meanwhile, Earl Grey Fleurs offers you a
freshness with a fine combination of black teas
and elegant Bergamot from the Calabria region
of Italy. You can also try Strong Breakfast,
Lapsang Souchong, The Rose, Jasmine Pearl, and
Chinese Gunpowder. If you are abstaining from
caffeine, then decaffeinated teas like Peppermint,
Camomile, Rooibos Fruits Rouges, and Pomelone
are ideal choices.
Luxurious rare teas
One of the highlights at Reverie’s tea party is that
you can find rare teas such as Genmaïcha Matcha,
Yin Zhen Pointes Blanches, and Pont Des Amants
Flower. The most interesting tea must be Yin Zhen
Pointes Blanches. Yin Zhen Pointes Blanches is
created from downy buds. This extremely rare tea
is set apart by its freshness and delicacy, embodied
by aromas of roasted chestnut and blossoms.
You can realize guidelines to mix different teas
with different types of cakes and pastries right
on the menu. Some teas are best served without
sugar or milk, some go with jams, black chocolate,
or French-style äclair, while some teas go with
cheese-flavored dishes. What could be better than
indulging yourself in the aroma of fresh mint; the
warm taste of pineapple, lemon, and orange; or
enjoying the scents of flowers in cool days?

menu for afternoon tea often
include sandwiches, small cakes

pastries such as the tart mont blanc, scallop
cakes with lemon, green tea macaroons,

Calling it “the loveliest village on earth” seems to be an ambitious
statement for Tra Que if you haven’t made your way to the stunning Hoi An
countryside. Once you arrive though, you’re guaranteed to fall in love with
this little corner of the earth.

TRAVELLIVE

Located 3 km from the center of Hoi An, Tra Que
village is well-known as its freshest and cleanest
vegetable and herb supplier. You can easily get
there by motorbike, bicycle, or a light walk. This
village is like an oasis situated between the Old
Town of Hoi An and An Bang beach.
WHAT MAKES TRA QUE
VILLAGE SPECIAL?
A
community has come
together and created
something truly
special here. It’s very
rare in Vietnam’s
rural areas that a community can
sustain itself from only growing
vegetables and herbs, but it’s happening
in Tra Que. This village is not only
beautiful but possesses real treasure in the quality
of its soil.
We know that Vietnam has had some bad
experience with chemicals in the past, but what
makes this place uniquely special is the fact that
no chemicals or toxins are used in the growing
process. It’s situated atop rice patties, which
add to the richness of the soil. This guarantees
the best quality and healthiest vegetables. With
a short visit to Tra Que, visitors can see firsthand
how the farmers grow vegetables in this
conscientious way.
Tra Que villagers are extremely proud of their
produce. Mr. Thanh, who’s one of the experienced
local farmers, loves sharing the fact that his herbs
are chemical and additive free. He tells us that Tra
Que’s natural fragrant aroma is thanks to the
seaweed from De Vong lake, which is used as
fertilizer. In addition, the unique farm land
has greatly contributed to the fame of
Tra Que Village.
Mrs. Do Thi Thanh, a villager
tells us: "Tra Que vegetables
have a wonderful aroma
with small, delicate leaves
because it only takes
20 days from the day of
planting to harvesting.
In Vietnamese cooking
traditions, certain herbs
and vegetables go with certain meats. During
my cooking and farming tours, I teach tourists
how to grow herbs, separate land for suitable
kinds of herbs and how much water to give each
plant. Even if you’ve never farmed before or you
think you don’t have “green fingers”, you’ll still
experience plenty of joy in the process."
Hoi An cooking techniques focus on Yin and Yang
to balance the hot and cold inside the body. This
means optimum nutrition is guaranteed when you
use the fresh herbs and vegetables from Tra Que.
TRAVELLIVE 105

HUNDREDS YEAR OF GROWING
VEGETABLES AND HERBS
The village was established 300
years ago at the mouth of the De
Vong River. The first citizens of
Tra Que used to make their living
from fishing. Gradually, they started
taking advantage of the river’s abundant seaweed
to make fertilizer. Since then, Tra Que locals
have spent their lives growing the best vegetables
which are delivered to Hoi An’s restaurants and
households. Hoi An is considered the food mecca
of Vietnam and Tra Que Village contributes
largely to this.
Tra Que is comprised of 40 hectares of fertile
land, sustaining more than 41 different kinds of
vegetables, including betel, perilla, Vietnamese
coriander, Thai Basil, spearmint, green onion,
mint, fish mint, salad, courgette, fuzzy squash,
lime, water morning glory, and other herbs.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
ACTIVITIES:
ü Tra Que village is not marked
as a tourist destination for every
tour, but it's always listed as a
must-see for travelers. You can
experience a day of being farmer
and learn interesting plant growing
techniques from the villagers or
you can just go for a stroll around
the area. The local people are very
friendly but if you’re not sure, try
experiencing a day as a farmer,

A PARADISE FOR
PHOTOGRAPHERS
If you are looking for a gorgeous destination
Tra Que is irrefutably the perfect choice. For
photographers, lighting is always one of most
important things to consider when taking the
best photos. In Tra Que, you are rewarded with
outstanding light quality for your shots. From early
morning to the late afternoon, every time of day
provides excellent natural lighting, giving you many
opportunities for creativity. Tra Que is also known
as the best place to photograph sunsets in Hoi An.
Moreover, Tra Que with its lush grassland,
marvelous rice fields and tranquil lakes, creates
the perfect backdrop of rural Vietnam. It’s every
photographer’s dream to be able to capture an 80
year old farmer having a break and sitting on his
buffalo. And if you’re lucky enough, you can see a
boat transferring seeds to the village among other
quirky and delightful things to see. The amazing
scenery of Tra Que will have you itching to go. One
funny and sometimes “annoying” thing in Vietnam
is that some people often ask for money when they
have their photo taken. In Tra Que, you won’t find
people going “1 photo/ 1 dollar”!
Come to Hoi An to see this beautiful attraction. If
you want to see and capture life unfolding in the
village, come and visit Tra Que. It provides an oncein-a-lifetime
experience for many people, especially
photography lovers.

In bustling cities, not many people care about sunsets and only few think about the pleasure that the sun can
bring at the end of the day, allowing us to wipe out all tiredness and worries. We can not see the sun gradually
fall down the skyline. We have no idea where the sun is, except from its few last rays separately painted on the
sky, behind soaring buildings. No one feels thankful as they are too exhausted and cranky on their way home.

HAVE YOU EVER spent time watching the sun on the beach? At dawn, it's so
tranquil that we can listen to the sea breeze and the sounds of waves clapping
on the beach. On cloudless days, without footprints on the sand, everything is
silent, fresh, and pure.
I'm not a person who likes getting up early, so I choose to watch the sunset.
The sunset is beautiful, simply beautiful. It enchants me no matter whether it's
a sunny or rainy. It touches me every single moment from the time when white
clouds float gently like flamingos wandering in the sky, when the sun is still
brilliant, to the moment when the entire space sinks into orange.
The sunrise and sunset teach me about patience and gratitude. The sun disappears
to make room for the dark night. The dark night then accumulates energy for a
new day. The most vivid radiance will fade. The dark will give way to a new glory.
It's impossible to ask for two sunrises and no sunset. In sunset, you realize that
when you are faced with what you will miss, you know what you still have.

‰ LOCAL FOOD: To conclude your
journey in Slovenia, nothing could be
better than a romantic dinner at Penzion
Berc where you can admire Bled Lake
and the 10 th century Bled Palace from
above. One of the most famous dishes
at Bled is kremnista. The cream cake is
made from flour and cheese. The first
layer is crispy and yellow while the
creamy vanilla center isn’t gooey. If
there was too much vanilla, it wouldn’t
retain it’s shape after being cut. The
final layer is delicious and fragrant
with egg, milk, and vanilla. There are
more than a million kremnista cakes
sold each year, making it the culinary
symbol of the northern Slovenia.

This Autumn, if you are seeking new European natural colors, then Slovenia
is your answer. Although the country may be hidden beneath the reputation
of its neighbors - Austria and Italy, Slovenia is charming in its own way with
magnificent untouched mountains. Slovenia brings you the most natural and
enchanting landscapes, with no frills and flashy things. Of all famous destinations
there, Vintar Gogre, Bohinj Lake, and Bled Lake are worth your time.
TRAVELLIVE 11

The natural wonder of
Vintgar Gorge
Vintgar Gorge, also known as
Bled Gorge, is a 1.6 meter gorge
in northwestern Slovenia, about
5km from the famous Bled Lake.
The centuries old gorge is open
only from April to November to
ensure the safety of visitors as the
mountain terrace and snow-covered
cliffs are dangerous in the winter.
Therefore, autumn is the best time
to visit this natural wonder, stroll
down wooden walkways, and listen
to the murmuring of water while the
trees are changing into their new
yellow coat.
The complex of Vintgar Gorge
includes wooden corridors with
firm handrails above the Radovna
River where autumn colored leaves
reflect their beauty on the crystal
clear water. Moving towards the
end of the trail, you will reach Sum
Waterfall where the water cascades
from a height of 13m. Overlooking
the East, the Sum Waterfall and
sunrays create captivating rainbows
in its mist. From the waterfall, you
can return to continue down the
trail to the Bohinj Lake.

nature around
lake Bohinj.
Bohinj’s mirror
About 30km from the Vintgar Gorge
to the northwest is the Bohinj Basin,
a jade jewel hidden among majestic
mountains ranging from 1,600m to
2,000m. Located in the heart of the
impressive Julian Alps, the Bohinj
Basin also has the largest natural
lake in Slovenia.
Along the walkway are pretty bus
stops with brown wooden roofs,
blooming flowers, and flower pots
hung on the village’s gate. The lake
stretches about 4.2km with water
supplied from Black Lake. Bohinj
Lake seems to be divided into two
parts with two distinct colors. Half
of the lake which is near the shore is
so transparent that you can see the
bottom while the other is dark green
with hidden moss below.
TRAVELLIVE 117

118
Moreover, you can always find
your own corner around the lake
to enjoy the tranquility and fresh
air. There are some camping RVs
dotted among green trees around
the lake. With cold weather,
summer is perhaps not long
enough for inhabitants to relax
during their holidays.
Several families
bring provisions
for camping in
their RVs for
weeks long.
They play sports, go swimming
and boating in the daytime
then complete their day with a
barbecue. When travelling to
Slovenia, you will realize that
not only the Italians but the
Slovenians know their own
way to enjoy life. Bohinj is in
Triglav National Park - the
largest national park in Slovenia;
therefore, it’s quite convenient to
travel from here to the waterfalls
on Mount Savika which is an hour
from the Lake.
Stand on Mount Savika and
contemplate the majestic
Bohinj valley with ancient trees
and limestone covered with
moss. Along the path leading
to Savika’s peak is diverse
vegetation including rare plants
that can only be found in this
country. Cottages are hidden
behind large trees, separating
them from the outside world. The
space is covered by the fresh air
of autumn, the songs of birds,
and the murmuring sounds of
spring water.
Race boat around
Bled Lake
After spending time at the lake
and Mt. Savika, take time to visit
another place - Bled Lake. Unlike
the tranquil Bohinj, Bled is a
popular destination for dining.
There are numerous restaurants,
food stalls, and hotels located
TRAVELLIVE
around it. Bled’s length is only
half that of Bohinj; however, with
a prime location and suitable
water depth, this lake is often
chosen for world boat races.
Located in the center of Bled Lake
is Bled island with the church
of St. Mary. The gothic church
is a favorite wedding venue for
Slovenians. It’s believed that if
the groom holds the bride going
up the stairs, they will stay happy
forever. To visit Bled Island, I
needed ask a Pletna boatman. Like
gondoliers in Venice, the job of
sailing boats is passed down from
generation to generation within
families. Pletna boatmen, or
Pletnaers, are always respected. If
you are interested in adventures,
diving and boat racing around
Bled Lake are ideal for you.
Slovenia is not a perfect place for
those who are seeking bustling
urban environments. However,
it’s wonderful for romantic
travelers who love pure yellow
autumnal beauty and those who
want to escape tourist traps with
rows of souvenir shops.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
ITINERARY:

and Italian cooking, each region of Slovenia has
its own cuisine with distinct flavors. Specialties
include frog, ajdovi žganci (oatmeal), kremnista,
and burek cakes.
ACTIVITIES:
ü Apart from the above mentioned
destinations, you can partake in other activities
such as canoeing, visiting wine factories,

Text: Phong Kieu Photos: Jindy Pham
“A hub of commerce”, “hustling and bustling”, and “young and
effervescent” are just some ways to describe the modern beauty of
Saigon. However, this city has more to offer. Saigon hides inside it a
poetically tranquil appearance and takes time to explore.
GET LOST IN THE OF SAIGON

Actually, from the very first moment I
set foot in Saigon, I didn’t know where
a peaceful secret corner of this city was.
I simply thought that all I needed was
to follow my heart and keep going, looking, and listening.
I got on a bus connecting the center of District 1 to ChÓ
LÌn. The way seemed endless. And I was overflowing with
emotion when I arrived in Dist. 5, a unique residential area
in bustling Saigon.
A community of Chinese people have lived and earned
their living here for hundreds of years. Consisting of
separate apartments and buildings occasionally between
community places, this area’s architecture is very special.
From above, Dist. 5 looks like a giant zig zag carpet with
patterns of roads and winding lanes. Be patient and follow
these endless roads. Get lost in this strange yet enchanting
place and it will seem from time to that you are back in the
1990s.
COLORFUL STREETS
Perhaps because of its proximity to ChÓ LÌn, Chinatown is
always busy. Houses are close to each other. Their first floor
have been restored and decorated to serve as shops. I don’t
like noisy places, but upon passing these streets, I wasn’t
GET LOST IN THIS
STRANGE YET
ENCHANTING
PLACE AND IT
WILL SEEM FROM
TIME TO THAT
YOU ARE BACK IN
THE 1990S.
bothered by the throngs of businessmen
and customers. At that time, I was
busy looking at the upper floors of the
houses where the old architectural style
has been preserved with narrow corridors, marred yellow
walls, wooden windows with different colors, opencast
altars with incense smoke, and various shaped windows
on the wall.
Old apartment buildings are considered an attractive
“specialty” of Chinatown. I don’t know exactly how many
apartment buildings there are in this district since I just
walked about 500m to find a new buildings, but they seem
to be about 50 years old. The paint on the walls have faded
with time. While the old buildings in Hanoi have stairs
right at the gate ways and apartments on the ground floor
have their own doors, the old apartment buildings in Dist.
5 are more mysterious.
It’s better to call them small residential areas than
apartment buildings. They are identified with a pretty large
dome gate and Chinese letters on the wall. I passed the old
gate, walked some minutes along a dark lane, and got lost
in a quiet sunlit yard. I felt the scent of incense somewhere
and the only sound I could hear was silence. Along the
yard’s two sides were long chains of houses consisting of
dozens of apartments.
TRAVELLIVE 12

They share such narrow corridors
that it would be difficult for two
people to go side-by-side. The
apartments are small. Each of them
was painted with vivid warm and
cool colors which contributed to the
picturesque scene.
I
could only stand silently
and look around. A mixed
feeling about this familiar
yet mysterious place titillated
me. It was like I slipped into a
time warp and the surroundings were
rapidly changing in front of my eyes.
Suddenly, I thought I was somewhere
in the 1960s. That was when Ms.
Truong Man Ngoc from the film, In
the Mood for Love, wore an elegant
silk cheongsam, standing near a halfopened
door before an apartment on
the second floor. There was the young
melancholy artist who seemed to
have lost his train of thought. There
were also a few laborers sharing an
apartment from TVB - the renowned
film studio in Hong Kong. My brain
tried to remind me that I was in the
Chinatown of Saigon in 2016, but
my senses led me to a dreamy space
named Little Hong Kong from more
than a half decade ago.
More than 50 years have passed,
and changes are unavoidable.
However, deep inside each person
here is the thought of saving
traditional customs. They save
their traditional values as they save
themselves. When a day of working
ends, Chinese people lift off their
burdens of life to go back home.
They speak Cantonese. They live
slowly and enjoy collective activities.
They are friendly and hospitable.
When noticing tourists like me
wandering around, some people
even offer their help, guiding me
to the highest floors and the most
secret hidden corners so that I
could catch a glimpse of
the soul of the Chinese
people here.

Chinese people are known for their love of
collective activities. Therefore, when they
settled down in Saigon, they made much
effort to build temples, assembly halls, and
theaters. Apart from the Buddha, in temples
and pagodas, we can also find other gods
in spiritual Chinese legends such as the Tang Monk and
his students in the series, Journey to the West. Assembly
halls share the architectural design of many temples and
pagodas. Some assembly halls are set inside famous
temples. They are the places where Chinese people
meet each other and share their interests. Sometimes,
they hold traditional art performances. Nowadays, the
assembly halls are Chinese schools where children learn
Chinese. With the old beauty, all theaters and cinemas
have long disappeared. A friend of mine shared that
Hong Kong was most beautiful in the 1960s. Perhaps,
this Little Hong Kong in Saigon is the same. Therefore,
inhabitants have persisted in preserving the old beauty of
this town through the years.
NEW TASTES OF STREET FOOD
After exploring the area, I treated myself to delicious
Chinese cuisine. Dist. 5 is popular as a street food
paradise. Not only Chinese but also Vietnamese people
in Saigon often visit this area to enjoy the food.
Restaurants are arranged with
straight lines of dining tables.
The colored glazed tile walls,
clean inox tables, inox jars
of green and red chopsticks,
together with trolleys selling
food reminded me of images of Hong Kong in the TVB
movies which I watched when I was a child. Dishes are
hand prepared from the heart of Chinese chefs, keeping
traditional flavors and styles. Dumplings are pure white
and soft. H∏ c∂o and x›u mπi are smooth and aromatic
and feature meat and shrimp. The steamed sticky rice
bears the scent of lotus as it is wrapped in lotus leaves.
And don’t forget to try delicious fried skewers and Hong
Kong - style tarts sold on the streets.
After my stomach was satisfied with such delicious
dishes, I had a cool Chinese drink. There are many types
of drinks with sweet or bitter flavors such as daisy and
seaweed which are sold from carts, at restaurants, or on
the street. There are no tables or chairs for guests so you
must take away or sit on the sidewalk while drinking and
watching the people pass by.
My one day in the Chinatown was filled with exciting
new experiences. I was happy with everything I found.
I wished to stay here, get lost, and live happily forever in
my Little 1960s Hong Kong.

UNLIKE THE BIG AND STRONG RHINOS WITHOUT BRIGHT
COLORS, THE PANGOLIN IS NICE, SIMPLE, AND AS SLOW AS
FLASH IN THE CARTOON ZOOTOPIA. HOWEVER, THEY ARE
BEING HUNTED BY MULTINATIONAL SMUGGLERS.
TRAVELLIVE 131

Little pangolins
often follow
their mothers.
Pangolins in
Africa can stand
on their two
back legs like
little dinosaurs

THE GREAT WRITER, ANNA DEWDNEY, DESCRIBED PANGOLINS AS SHY
CHILDREN. PANGOLINS LOOK LIKE DRAGONS, AND SOME PEOPLE EVEN
THINK THEY ARE A TYPE OF CROCODILE
angolins are the
only mammals in
the world covered in
scales. They look like
pine cones when rolled into
a ball. A strong tail enables
pangolins to move among tree
branches. Only few people know
about pangolins (except regular
drinkers!) as they live secretly,
hiding themselves in the jungles of
Asia and Africa.
The great writer, Anna Dewdney,
visited Cuc Phuong National Park
to learn more about pangolins
and then wrote her book Roly Poly
Pangolin based on her experiences
there. She described pangolins as
shy children. Pangolins look like
dragons, and some people even
think they are a type of crocodile,
but pangolins aren’t offensive. The
only way they can protect themselves
from predators is by curling up in a
ball and rolling as fast as they can.
Pangolins are shy around strangers
but so friendly to those they’re
familiar with. Little pangolins often
follow their mothers. Pangolins in
Africa can stand on their two back
legs like little dinosaurs.
Pangolins would never change
their simple life if humans weren’t
so greedy. The scales that they
use to protect themselves against
predators has driven them to the
brink of extinction. During peak
season, from May to November
each year, they are hunted for
different purposes. People eat their
meat, use their scales as medicine,
and even steep pangolin embryos
in alcohol for virility. According to
data by the International Union For
Conservation Of Nature (IUCN),
there is one pangolin smuggled
every 5 minutes. CHANGE Vietnam
also shows that there are 100,000
pangolins killed to meet the demand
in Asian countries each year. In
some countries, pangolin meat is
used to treat atopic dermatitis while
its blood is believed to detoxify and
heal wounds. Moreover, their scales
which are shell-shaped, shiny,
dark green or a greyish brown are
most hunted since consumers
considered them, like rhino horns,
as a panacea.
Another similarity to rhino horns
is that pangolin scales are made
of keratin, the same material from
which our fingernails and hair
are made. What is the difference
between eating pangolin’s scales and
eating our hair or fingernails? Some
people even want to eat pangolin
meat just because it’s expensive and
precious! The price of 1 kg pangolin
at restaurants is about USD350*,
and each time consumers must buy
at least 5kg.
TRAVELLIVE 133

NO ONE KNOWS HOW MANY PANGOLINS STILL EXIST IN THE WORLD, AND
FEW SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE GRADUALLY
DISAPPEARING, ESPECIALLY AT A VERY HIGH RATE IN VIETNAM.

It means that they need to spend about
USD1750* per meal. Vietnam and China
consume the largest amount of pangolin
in the world.
Hunting, trading, and consuming
pangolins are illegal in Vietnam.
Violators may be subject to administrative
sanctions or imprisonment depending
on the seriousness of the violation.
However, it’s alarming that you can easily
find pangolin meat in many restaurants
in the forests of Vietnam, from the
highlands to the Northern midlands,
from Central Highlands to the Mekong
River Delta. Type “thfit t t” (pangolin
meat) into a Google search and you
can get a list of restaurants with dishes
prepared with pangolins and an array of
websites showing how to use pangolin’s
scales for beauty care. I have done a small
survey with friends of mine. Two of them
have no idea about pangolin, the three
others know them through TV programs
introducing specialties!
o one knows how many
pangolins still exist in
the world, and few seem
concerned about the fact that they are
gradually disappearing, especially at a
very high rate in Vietnam. As Vietnamese
people are always proud of the natural
treasures and the diversity of flora and
fauna, they don’t need to care about
preservation, do they? It’s sad that efforts
to save this lovely species haven’t received
attention from the community.
Have you ever noticed pangolins
mentioned in the media or in wildlife
campaigns? It’s time for us to give a hand
to create a safer environment for these
shy little “pine cones” instead of parading
them as “medicine” like rhino horns.

INFORMATION:
ü Organizations: The
organizations working to
save pangolins in Vietnam
include CHANGE Vietnam,
Save VietNam’s Wildlife
(SVW), The Wildlife Trade
Monitoring Network
TRAFFIC, Education for
Nature Vietnam (ENV), and
the International Union For
Conservation Of Nature
(IUCN)
ü Events: CHANGE
Vietnam holds a festival
about wild animals in
November every year
to raise Vietnamese’s
awareness about wild
animals, especially rhinos
and pangolins. The festival
provides participants
with useful information,
interactive activities, and
training courses about
laws and policy related to
protect wild animals. For
