1 . Seminar on "The Essence of Thang Long Hanoi Cuisine", Dr. Nguyen Nha Thousands of traditional soul foods of Thang Long Hanoi have been well preserved in restaurants or street-food stands all over Vietnam, and some are introduced and promoted around the world, yet many have been forgotten. Beginning from the “Thuc vat Tat Khao” (Thực vật tất khảo tường ký lục "Records of the methodic steps in food recipes"), which was written in Nôm (the traditional Vietnamese language) in 1735 during the Le-Trinh dynasty, there were 189 exotic gourmet recipes… to the “Nu cong Thang Lam” (Nữ công thắng lãm "Winning Magnificient Recipes for the Work of Women) written by Medicine Grandmaster Hai Thuong Lan Ong… to those colorful dishes specially prepared for Tet (New Year) celebrations, wedding ceremonies, family dining, etc.
The authentic cuisines of Thang Long Hanoi are the symbolic of the unique personalities of the Northern Vietnamese people from the far north to the central of Vietnam, where people are very conservative in terms of tastes and selecting natural ingredients in cooking. They prefer pure and plain salt, they dislike sweet and sour tastes. They prefer purely brewed fish sauce without diluting or adding anything else. They prefer foods with seasonal ingredients. They skillfully specialize in many popular recipes, such as crispy "spring rolls", meat pies, sausages, soups, etc.
