The square cake is an integral part of the Vietnamese during the lunar New Year (Tet) festival. It is made from glutinous rice, pork and green bean paste, and then wrapped in “dong” (arrowroot) leaves, which give the rice a green tint after being boiled for ten hours.
The activity aims to promote the culture of the Vietnamese traditional Tet to foreigners and make them feel more joyful during their stay in the country.
Eliseev Dmitrii, a Russian, said this is the first time he and his wife have welcomed a Vietnamese Tet, adding that making Chung cake is a fantastic experience for him.
On this occasion, other resorts in Mui Ne have also organised numerous activities typical to the Vietnamese Tet, including flower markets, traditional food festivals and lion and dragon dancing.-VNA
