WELCOME TO LANG LIEU RESTAURANT HANOI
From the story of food…

One reputed American novelist called Jonathan Safran Foer once said “Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity.” When it comes to cuisine, there will always be something to be told – a mark of culture, a piece of history and a flow of time. The stories brought to you by food are the most lively one since it triggers such a sensational experience that you don’t merely listen with your ears but your heart as well.

Vietnamese people, who have treasured culinary art for centuries, do not cook with just normal ingredients. They imprint their soul in everything they cook. From the most recognized dish – Pho to a local one like Banh Gai, every single dish has its journey of life. Pho inherits the subtlety and harmony from its creator – a young Hanoi woman named Thi Ba who first made it for her French lover in the 1900s. Meanwhile, Banh Gai marks an era of poverty across the Northern part, when people were so lacking in food that they mixed leaf with rice and it turned out to be the first version of Banh Gai.

The cultural trademark is even more significant in ethnic specialties. Have you ever wondered why Com Lam or Thang Co plays a crucial role in the life of mountainous ethnic groups? The answer lies in a close connection between cuisine and culture. Traditional dishes can tell history, and preserve culture.

To the story of us…
