The diversity of ASEAN culture and traditional cuisine of ASEAN member countries were featured at the event.

Vietnamese traditional dishes such as Pho, rice noodle with broth, and Nem or spring rolls drew special interest of participants.

A Trong Com (rice drum) dance performance by Vietnamese women living in Singapore was also a focus at the event.
