Organized by the Vietnamese Embassy in South Africa in collaboration with other Vietnamese representative agencies, the event aims to promote the rich culinary heritage of Vietnam to both local and international audiences.

Attendees, including South African locals, members of the diplomatic corps, and the Vietnamese expatriate community, explored the art of making pho, ingredient selection, broth preparation, and the assembly of this iconic dish.

In addition to pho, visitors were treated to traditional fried spring rolls and Vietnamese coffee. A selection of Vietnamese-branded products such as rice, coffee, rice paper, noodles, and instant pho was also displayed, highlighting Vietnam's diverse culinary offerings.
