“Taste of Korea” with Korean food at MM Mega Market
Korean cuisine has long been popular and become a favourite taste of Vietnamese food lovers. Korean culinary art is the delicate combination of ingredients and spices, bringing a rich and distinctive flavour that young people prefer such as soybean paste, kimchi, noodles, hotteok, mandu dumplings, etc.
As a part of the Taste of Korea program, MM Mega Market organized a cooking competition on April 5, at MM Mega Market An Phu. The event had the presence of Mr. Yu Byung Ha, Consul of Korean Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, and Mr. Cho Sung Bae, Director of aT Center in Ho Chi Minh City.
The competition attracted the participation of over 30 semi-professional chefs and culinary students in Ho Chi Minh City. Beyond the mere cooking competition building cultural exchange bridges, Tastes of Korea serves as a means for significant cultural exchanges, as well as promoting connection, innovation, and creativity in Vietnamese-Korean cuisine. This is also an opportunity for chefs and food enthusiasts to showcase their creative abilities, exploring the richness of cultural and culinary aspects of Korean food.

The preliminary round features Korean fruit desserts that gained over 30 registrations. Then, the top 4 outstanding candidates were selected by Chef Cam Thien Long, MM Mega Market (Vietnam) brand ambassador to shine in the final round. The dishes cooked at final round were Kimchi and Korean chewy chicken. The dishes were eye-catching, while still ensuring the distinctive flavour of Korean cuisine. The winning semi-professional chefs will receive vouchers for trips to Korea worth up to 20 million VND.
Mr. Yu Byung Ha, Consul of Korean Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, and Mr. Cho Sung Bae, Director of aT Center in Ho Chi Minh City gave positive praises and encouragements to all candidates |
