The event attracted 32 restaurants, hotels and eateries in five Central Highlands provinces, encouraging the use of coffee as an ingredient.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee H’Yim Kdoh said the contest will enable artisans to introduce traditional food to visitors, thus enriching Vietnam’s cuisine culture.
From March 9 – 16, local food will be available at the tourist area from 8am – 6pm.
On March 9 – 10, the Taego Zen Buddhism executive board from the Republic of Korea’s Jeollabuk province offered Korean typical stir-fried rice cake tteokbokki to 6,000 visitors for free.
The organising board presented one first, two second, three third and 10 consolation prizes to contestants.
