Though without the vibrant flowers adorning the streets and alleys, nor the sweet confections filling every kitchen, the excitement and national pride on Independence Day remain undiminished in the hearts of every Vietnamese citizen. This sacred and eternal spirit continues to shine through the colours of the flag and the clothes worn in the rhythm of today's life.

Thua Thien Hue is a region with many dishes honored in the “Journey to find the cultural value of typical Vietnamese cuisine” including Hue beef noodles, tapioca dumplings stuffed with roasted pork sweet soup, mussel rice, tapioca dumplings, mixed vegetarian fig salad, vegetarian rice steamed in lotus leaf.

Every year, around the 20th of the 12th lunar month, just before Kitchen Gods Day, we the children in the city center were sent to the family lineage house on the slope of Ha Khe Hill near Thien Mu Pagoda to visit our grandma and helped her prepare for Tet since my parents were too busy to come.

Not stopping at a trend to live a virtual life on the internet, those habits such as loving kitchen, being addicted to the house, being addicted to decoration and being addicted to new lifestyles bring young people a positive lifestyle in this modern and pandemic time which requires the limitation of going outside.
