 Held on November 10, the competition featured 10 teams with around 70 participants showcasing iconic Vietnamese dishes such as pho (beef rice noodle soup), banh mi (Vietnamese baguette), and bun cha (vermicelli noodles with grilled pork). According to the organiser, the event was designed to strengthen bonds within the expatriate community and provide an opportunity for them to socialise, adapt, and integrate more comfortably into life in the host nation.
