Today is Vietnamese women's day so we went to a restaurant in town to eat together. This is a restaurant located next to the lake, so the atmosphere was very cool and fresh. On these days, women will be given flowers, gifts, money, souvenirs by men. This is also an opportunity for families to gather and eat together.
Vietnamese people have the habit of participating general eating and eating together. On any occasion of the year such as festivals, mother's day, father's day, birthday we always organize dining at a restaurant or at home. Unlike other cultures, Vietnamese people are very united even in eating and drinking, sharing a hot pot, sharing a bowl of sauce, etc. During meals Vietnamese people often talk and confide in each other about life or how a day goes by. And so is my family, this is an opportunity for everyone to meet and talk.
This was our meal

The broth is so sweet, spicy and sour, this cold weather is perfect for eating and enjoying. Just dip whatever you like, I love to eat shrimp so I added shrimp to the pot and let it cook for about 15 minutes. For squid and octopus, you should only dip them in the broth hot pot for about 5 minutes, if you leave them in the hot pot for a long time, they will be tough. Vegetables are very sweet and soft when dipped in this broth, if you only eat boiled vegetables it will be really boring :(((
