Advantages of Vegetarianism 🤤
Nowadays we can see that vegetarianism have become very popular and even preferred by young people, so let’s take a look at the benefits of this way of eating that people are increasingly paying attention to

The advantages of vegetarianism are as wide and varied as the reasons behind people becoming vegetarian. Some of the key advantages are:
1. Take care more animals
Because No animal is harmed in order to feed or clothe a vegetarian. As less people eat meat, there is a reduced requirement for the farming of livestock for meat
2. Take care Environment
Because if people skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon dioxide savings would be reduce. There are more carbon dioxide is out when we eat meat.
3. Save money
A person leading a vegetarian lifestyle can spend much less than their meat eating counterparts. Vegetarian food is often cheaper, this includes both the raw ingredients purchased from supermarkets and meals taken in restaurants and other eateries. Meat makes up a significant proportion of a typical household food bill. If a household, however, replaces meat with lentils and other low cost forms of nutritious and natural foods, a greater saving will be realized.
4. Good for Health
There are many real health advantages of being a vegetarian. Over recent years the impact of meat in our diets has been studied and researched. Some people will say that it is unnatural for humans to eat meat, others will say that it is a totally natural process. What is certain, however, is the modern meat-eaters diet includes a greater proportion of meat than that of our ancestors. This increase can cause health problems for a variety of reasons.

👉Tò he: A time-honored treasure of Vietnamese culture🥳

😽Tò he, a time-honored toy in Vietnamese culture, is a delightful creation cherished for its intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors. It has captivated both the young and old alike with its whimsical charm and cultural significance.

Beyond breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cities, Vietnam travel offers a glimpse into a rich cultural tapestry. Step into the world of tò he, a captivating art form where edible rice dough transforms into whimsical figurines. More than just toys, these colorful creations are time-honored treasures, whispering folktales and embodying the spirit of the nation.

1. What is tò he? Where does it originate from?

“Tò he,” a cherished Vietnamese toy, is a treasure of Vietnamese culture beloved for its intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors. This traditional Vietnamese toy is sculpted from dough and shaped into various forms, often resembling animals such as peacocks, chickens, buffaloes, cows, pigs, fish, and more. Originating from Xuan La Village in Hanoi, this Vietnamese toy has endured for over 300 years, defying the test of time.

Despite facing challenges from foreign toys, the skilled artisans in Xuan La have continued to preserve and promote this unique art form, ensuring that this Vietnamese toy remains a cherished part of the country’s cultural identity. Tò he is not only visually appealing but also edible. In addition to its aesthetic and culinary appeal, tò he can be attached to a small tube and blown to produce the sound “tò te,” giving it its name.

2. What material is used to give tò he its vibrant colors?

The ingredients for making tò he include glutinous rice and non-glutinous rice, which are mixed evenly, soaked in water, then ground or mashed into flour. Glutinous rice is easier to work with and produces better products. The finished flour is kneaded thoroughly until it no longer sticks to the hands, formed into small balls, and boiled until cooked.

At this stage, the artisan will give the colors and sculpt the shapes for tò he. The colors used to dye the flour are also derived from natural sources, such as various types of leaves and edible vegetables. For example, red color comes from gac fruit, black color comes from the sedge plant, and green color comes from betel leaves or ginger leaves.

It requires many meticulous steps, especially in the process of making the dough, to produce tò he products that are smooth, glossy, and brightly colored. Vietnamese people have mastered these intricate techniques over generations, ensuring that tò he maintains its status as a cherished cultural creation and one of the most beloved toys in Vietnam.

3. How important is tò he in Vietnamese culture?

Tò he is one of the few traditional toys in Vietnam that are still passed down to this day. It is not only a toy; it is also a work of art. Tò he appears not only in village fairs, parks, and schools but also in exhibition fairs and major festivals such as the Tet Holiday and Mid Autumn Festival, making it a unique addition to Vietnamese gift ideas.

Although tò he cannot last long (it can only be preserved for about 10-30 days), it is closely associated with the life of Vietnamese people. It is not just the accumulation of folk wisdom; it carries the spirit of Vietnamese rural villages. Through tò he, the creativity of folk artists is vividly expressed, enriching the diverse cultural landscape of Vietnam.

4. Where to buy tò he as Vietnamese souvenirs?

Xuan La Village, where nimble fingers weave magic from rice dough, is undoubtedly the best place to get these toys in Vietnam. Alternatively, vibrant stalls on Hoan Kiem Lake Walking Street also offer opportunities to get this charming creation. In Saigon, if you want to buy tò he, you can go to tourist areas like Dam Sen Park and Suoi Tien Park. In addition, during the Tet Holiday, there are also stalls on Ong Do Street.

Beyond mere toys, tò he has become a vibrant thread that is woven into the rich tapestry of Vietnamese culture. Its sweet allure transcends generations, reminding us of childhood joys and the enduring spirit of craftsmanship. As you hold tò he in your hand, you will get to feel the history whisper through its delicate form, taste the tradition in every sweet bite, and embrace a piece of Vietnam’s cherished heritage.

Tet Doan Ngo-the day for wiping out human’s inner worms 🥳
Also called “Tết giết sâu bọ” (literally translated as Festival for “Killing the human’s inner worms”), Tet Doan Ngo is one of the most significant celebration of Vietnam.

What is it?

Occurring annually on the 5th date of the 5th month in Lunar calendar, Tet Doan Ngo derives from the fact that farmers, on this day, get rid of all pests to start growing their crops for the new season. Therefore, creatures and people must become stronger in both their health and their souls to overcome this. On this occasion, the whole family have to get up early and eat fermented sticky rice and fruits. The worshipping is held at noon, hour of Ngo, which is exactly 12PM. The tradition of eating dumplings, especially lye water dumplings, extends from the belief that the dumplings will cleanse one’s body of any unwanted “parasites”.Two Irreplaceable Dishes in Doan Ngo Festival

The two traditional types of food to be eaten on this holiday are Banh U and Cai Ruou.

1. Banh U
Banh U is made from sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves into the shape of a pyramid. They are often stuffed with beans and banana leaves’ essence, creating its dominant flavor.

2. Cai Ruou
Cai ruou is the fermented sticky rice, which is the left part of the alcohol production. It is associated with the myth telling that on upon a time, there were two orphan brothers living together in a small village. They were popular among the locals for their intelligence and kindness. Also, in that village, there were two snakes Thanh Xa (The Green snake) and Bach Xa (The White snake), which after long lives, turned into spirits. Falling in love with the brothers, they transformed themselves into beautiful ladies to lure the men. Their desire soon became true, Thanh Xa got married the older brother and Bach Xa the younger.
They lived happily together until the men grew unhealthy each passing day, scared of daylight and lived in festering darkness. The locals suspected the presence of a bad spirit, and one day, luckily, a Taoist hermit passed by the village. After being told the affliction, he conducted some spirit type tests and found out that the men’s house had a case of the evils. Brewing a alcohol potion, he told the locals to feed it to the men. The brothers must eat the potion’s solids and liquids in the early morning of the next fifth day of the fifth lunar calendar. As soon as the men tucked into their special breakfast, their wives were turned into their real appearance of snakes, before disappearing in a puff of smoke, freeing the brothers. Since that day, people have eaten “Cai ruou” on Killing the worms Day, in the hope of driving away bad spirits.

How to Make It?
The process of making Cai ruou is not quite complicated but time-consuming. In order to have good cai ruou in Tet Doan Ngo, the famers must harvest the reaped rice from a paddy, dried and pounded carefully to keep the most nutritious part of the rice. At first, the rice is steamed twice for about 30 minutes and left for a while to get cool. After that, It is mixed with yeast, before being left for two or three days to ferment, depending on the weather. Com ruou is eaten early on this day to fight the “worms” in one’s stomach.
Just try it, you will see that Cai ruou brings you a strong and quite delicious taste. In the Vietnamese traditional concept, Cai ruou can kill any parasites in the body. Vietnamese people, from adults to kids, mostly like eating cai ruou, yet, adults are more inclined to gain its curing effects with a grain of salt.

Beside Banh U and Cai ruou, people also add into their Tet Doan Ngo menu some kinds of seasonal fruit like plums and litchi.

Don’t hesitate to pack your luggage, come and discover the amazing land. For more information please visit our family website:

Crafting the conical hats that define Vietnamese culture

Here in central Vietnam, the art of making palm-leaf conical hats has lasted for over 300 years.
Along with the ao dai, the non la is a cultural symbol of the Vietnamese people that can be found in any corner of the country. Although less people wear them these days due to the invasive wave of motorbikes and helmets, the art of weaving the iconic hats lives on in many villages throughout Vietnam, such as Phu Gia Village in the central province of Binh Dinh.
Do Van Lan, an artisan who has been making hats for 55 years in Phu Gia Viallge, said the hat first appeared in Binh Dinh over 300 years ago, and the same technique is used to make them today.

the-making-of-non-la-the-hat-that-defines-vietnamese-culture-2
Phu Gia is one of five traditional craft villages that have been put on a list for preservation and development in Binh Dinh. Thanks to this move, more people are visiting Phu Gia and the hat makers have a more stable source of income.

“Embroidering is the most time-consuming process, especially when customers place special orders for the patterns,” Lan said.

A non la is made from natural materials available in Binh Dinh, including river-leaf creepers that are used to make the conical framework and palm leaves, Lan said. He added that people used to use the roots of pineapple trees to make fibers in the past, but now most of them have switched to industrial fibers.

Nguyen Thi Tam, Lan’s wife, has been in the business for more than 40 years. She says it requires patience, skill and care, but doesn’t generate much income, so many people in Phu Gia Village have quit. Hats sell for VND50,000-100,000 ($2.2-4.4) each, and more intricate patterns can fetch up to VND400,000.

Ao Dai – An eternal beauty

Every country in the world has a traditional costume, and Vietnam people are proud to own the Ao Dai. The Ao Dai has two main parts: the pants and the tunic. The loose pants with a high waist, are held by an elastic belt sewn at the top. The tunic covers the whole body, except the head, hands, and feet. It is made up of a Mao collar, two flaps that descend to above the ankles and long sleeves. The closure is done discreetly on the side by small buttons. The slit of the tunic generally rises a few two or three centimeters higher than the pants. Although the outfit is very discreet, it brings curves to the body. The most common color of Ao Dai for women is white. In other cases, it has many patterns and is made of different kinds of fabric, and all are flexible, light, and airy.
The Ao Dai is a Vietnamese national garment worn by both sexes but most commonly by women. It is a long, split tunic dress worn over loose trousers. The tunic with long sleeves covers the whole body, except the head, hands, and feet. On some formal occasions like a wedding or a graduation ceremony, men and women also wear Ao Dai. The word “ao dai” was originally applied to the outfit worn at the court of the Nguyễn Lords at Huế in the 18th century. Ao Dai has overcome all challenges and innovations to become the national dress of Vietnam as well as a symbol of Vietnamese women. It has exposed both the bold cultures of humanity and the melting pot of Oriental (Vietnamese – Chinese) and the West (French). Nowadays, there are many innovative styles of Ao Dai, especially for women, making it more comfortable to wear. However, Ao Dai will always be beautiful and fashionable, reflecting on the elegance and grace of Vietnamese people.
One of the most captivating aspects of the Áo Dài is its ability to accentuate the natural beauty of the wearer. The form-fitting design flatters the silhouette, making it a graceful and charming outfit suitable for various occasions. It is not only a traditional costume but also a symbol of modernity and sophistication.

In recent years, the Áo Dài has undergone a renaissance and become a symbol of national pride. Its timeless design has made it a favorite not only in Vietnam but also worldwide. The Áo Dài has become a source of inspiration for fashion designers, who incorporate its elements into modern designs, bridging the gap between tradition and contemporary fashion.

This traditional attire has transcended time and continues to be a symbol of Vietnamese culture and identity. The Áo Dài is a testament to the enduring beauty and elegance of Vietnamese tradition.
