PANO – The 2014 Canadian Food Festival was officially kicked off in Hanoi on December 16th.
The annual event is organized by the Embassy of Canada to promote the best Canadian food products to Vietnamese consumers. Premium products from Canada will be featured at this event, including Canadian beef as well as a wide range of Canadian seafood including lobster, oysters, snow crab, black cod, Atlantic salmon, and mussels. Canadian wines and spirits, maple syrup, Ambrosia apples and dried fruits will also be featured.
Joining the event are a number of restaurants, hotels and shops in Hanoi including Don’s Tay Ho, Hai Cang, three of the Sen buffet restaurants, four restaurants of the Sy Phu hotpot chain and the Sheraton Hanoi Hotel. They will offer a special discount on the Canadian food menu items during the month-long festival. Canadian spirits will also be available at discounted price at Camus retail stores. 37% discount on Canadian Ambrosia apples will also be offered at Klever Fruits stores.
At the opening ceremony of the festival, the Ambassador of Canada in Vietnam, David Devine expressed his happiness to launch the 2014 Canadian Food Festival for Hanoi residents and laid stress on the opportunity to experience the finest Canadian products.
“Canada’s vast and varied land, bounded by oceans on three sides and dotted with freshwater lakes, nurtures a diverse range of high-quality food ingredients. Canada has one of the world’s most respected food inspection and control system. Canadian laws and regulations, enforced by the Government of Canada, provide world-class production standards in order to meet customer specifications,” the Ambassador said.
He added “Canadian beef is widely acknowledged as being of premium quality, thanks to good quality of barley and corn to feed them. The same can be said of our seafood: Canada’s clean and cold water, as well as our dedication to quality and freshness, have made Canadian aquaculture products famous around the world. We hope that events such as the Canadian Food Festival will help Vietnamese consumers understand the extremely high quality of our food ingredients and that as a result they will include our products into Vietnam’s fine dining culture and extraordinary culinary tradition.”
