In Vietnam, we have a saying: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Well, it works for women too! And on Vietnamese Women’s Day (October 20th), what better way to celebrate the special ladies in our lives than with a table full of delicious food?
Whether you’re planning a cozy family dinner in Hoan Kiem District or a grand feast with friends near West Lake, choosing the right dishes can make the celebration even more memorable. And hey, if cooking seems like a daunting task, especially for a large group, why not consider renting a spacious van from TRAVELCAR?

A Feast for the Senses: Traditional Vietnamese Dishes
For a truly authentic Vietnamese Women’s Day celebration, traditional dishes are a must. “Bún chả,” a flavorful dish of grilled pork served with rice vermicelli, herbs, and dipping sauce, is always a crowd-pleaser. Another popular choice is “Nem rán,” crispy spring rolls filled with savory minced pork, mushrooms, and vegetables.

“Gỏi cuốn,” fresh spring rolls filled with vermicelli, shrimp, and herbs, offer a lighter and refreshing option. For a touch of elegance, consider “Phở áp chảo,” pan-fried pho noodles served with tender beef and a rich, savory sauce.
Sweet Treats for the Sweetest Ladies
No celebration is complete without dessert! “Chè,” a sweet Vietnamese dessert soup, comes in countless variations. “Chè chuối,” made with bananas cooked in coconut milk and tapioca pearls, is a comforting and delicious choice. “Bánh cam,” crispy sesame balls filled with sweet mung bean paste, are another popular option.
