The riverside Tan Cang Tourist Park will organize the Russian Food Festival for Christmas from 5:30 p.m to 9:30 p.m, December 24 to 26.
Around 60 Russian dishes many of them grilled will be served with Russian Fifth Ocean beer, at the park that is next to Saigon Bridge in Binh Thanh District.
Chiem Thanh Long, director of Binh Quoi Tourist Village, which manages Tan Cang, told the Daily the tourist village has invited master Russian chef, Sarhat Nabioglu Khalivov to run the kitchen.
“He has been training our chefs for a month,” he said.
This is the first time that Binh Quoi Tourist Village has organized a foreign food festival instead of promoting local food and culture.
Long said the tourist village would hold the Russian Food Festival every year. “HCMC has many programs to promote European and Chinese gastronomy so we want to bring a new food culture of Russia to Saigonese,” he said.
A ticket costs VND450,000 per adult, VND200,000 per child. Contact Tan Cang at A100, Ung Van Khiem Street, Binh Thanh District. Tel: 08 899 1120.
