Main ingredients to cook the dish. |
We met the chef of Tasty Hoi An, Nguyen Thai, a man from the north of Vietnam. To cook original Hoi An chicken rice, he went to Quang Nam to learn how to cook it for four years. The more Thai learned about how to cook chicken rice, the more he liked it. For him, the dish not only is a familiar food, but it also expresses a cultural trait of the locality.
After several years of working at some restaurants in Hoi An, Thai returned to Hanoi to introduce the specialty to both domestic and foreign visitors.
