On January 29, we celebrate the Lunar New Year and transition from the Year of the Dragon to the Year of the Snake. What does this mean? Traditionally, the Year of the Dragon is associated with power, ambition, and bold transformations, while the Year of the Snake brings introspection, wisdom, and a more strategic approach to life. How are you planning to welcome this new “year of the snake”?

Open Kitchen, LLC Vietnam Culinary Escapade 2024 RECAP: The Mekong Delta is the rich and fertile “rice bowl” and “kingdom of fruit” of Vietnam, it is the most important area for agriculture and aquaculture production in Vietnam. The river starts in the Himalayas and passes through China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia before reaching Vietnam. The only way to navigate this region is by boat, where you’ll see rice paddies, fruit orchards, Buddhist temples, and family houses clinging to the river’s banks.

On Day 14 of our Escapade we experienced Mekong Delta and its cuisine that uses a lot of wild vegetation and flowers. We cooked and enjoyed a delicious feast on board our private traditional wooden boat anchored alongside wild mangroves on a calm and beautiful afternoon. A memorable way to experience life on the Mekong Delta!
