Hungarian culinary teachers, students learn Vietnamese cuisine

The program was launched following a recent cooperation agreement between the Hungarian vocational center and the STHC, member of Saigontourist, a leading tour operator in Vietnam. During their professional practice program scheduled for March 20 to April 10 at the STHC, the Hungarian students and teachers have participated in culinary classes alongside Vietnamese students almost every day. Zahorán Gábor Tamás, one of the four Hungarian students, said that leaning to make Vietnamese dishes is a unique experience for him because of the remarkable differences between the gastronomies of the two countries. Karasz Zóra, another Hungarian student, expressed her surprise at discovering that many Vietnamese dishes are significantly spicier compared to the taste of Hungarian cuisine. As they are not good at English and do not know Vietnamese, they have used translation machines over the past days to make it easy for them in communicating with the Vietnamese teachers and students.
