Dishes such as Hanoi’s spring rolls and the southern region’s noodles with beef are favourites with guests and visitors to the event.
The festival is to introduce the distinctive culinary art of a number of Asian nations, including Japan, China, the Republic of Korea and Vietnam.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Axel Hluchy, managing director of MAKRO Group of the Czech Republic, emphasized that MAKRO considers Asian businesses its key partners, and that it wants to improve the quality and diversify Asian food products in the Czech Republic.
MAKRO’s Communications Director Romana Nydrle stated the event offers a good chance for participating countries to introduce consumers to Asian specialities, and helps Asian restaurant chefs in the Czech Republic to provide fine flavours for local customers.
Through the event, MAKRO wants to promote high quality Asian food to native customers so that they can cook them at home, she said.
MAKRO Asia sales director Vo Van Nam said high quality “Made-in Vietnam” products, especially frozen shrimps and octopus, are one of local consumers’ top choices, whenever they are off the shelf.
He said MAKRO will invite Asian culinary experts to the MAKRO Trade Centre to deliver a speech on the culinary art and promote various types of food from Asia, including Vietnam.
