Southern Culinary Ambassador at an International Climate and Energy Event
Amidst the sweltering heat of Hanoi's summer 2024, NEXVN has entrusted Thien Kien with a new challenge: preparing a teabreak and finger food reception for attendees at the Climate and Energy Innovation Conference, co-organized by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and New Energy Nexus Vietnam (NEXVN).
Arriving in the North, Thien Kien embraces the role of an ambassador, introducing the traditional dishes of the Southern people. Beyond just the cuisine, Thien Kien also skillfully incorporates handcrafted products into the event space. The Western feel of the venue is subtly localized as Thien Kien uses a centuries-old handwoven brocade fabric of the Black Tai ethnic group and rice mortars of the Tay ethnic group to display the dishes - which are products from Vietnam's rice and glutinous rice plants.
With the idea that the location in the North is decorated with items from the Northern ethnic groups and on top are placed products from the South. A space arranged with a North-South reunion. In addition, bringing agricultural products also goes hand in hand with the story of climate change and the impacts of the environment, contributing a direct practical experience for speakers and guests from international organizations when coming to Vietnam to be able to feel for themselves with their own sense of taste.
The harmonious combination of cuisine and culture has created a unique experience, highlighting the diversity and richness of Vietnamese culture, while expressing Thien Kien's respect for traditional values.
As a closing gesture for the program, Thien Kien also sent meaningful gifts from the Vietnamese homeland to the partners.
