HCM CITY — As many as 100 teams took part in a cooking contest “Vietnamese Family Meal" on Nguyễn Huệ Walking Street on Sunday.

The event, which was organised by the HCM City Women’s Union in collaboration with many other organisations, with the sponsorship of Nestlé Vietnam’s MAGGI brand, was among the activities held to celebrate the 19th Vietnamese Family Day (June 28, 2001 - June 28, 2020).

Thủ Đức Women’s Union team won the first prize at the contest.

Also within the framework of the Vietnamese Family Day, MAGGI brand co-operated with the Vietnamese Journalists Association to organise "Journalists and the culinary arts" programme.

Trần Thị Huyền Thanh, vice chairwoman of the HCM City Women’s Union, said: “For many years, MAGGI has always been one of the reliable companions in supporting us to organise many meaningful and unique cuisine programmes for women and their families.

“The Vietnamese Family Meal contest this year is one of the activities to help families have more opportunities to connect with each other and create a simple, delicious and healthy home meal, which meets all nutritional needs, to raise the physical foundation for a healthy generation of Vietnamese families." — VNS
