Chu Đậu pottery and Vạn Phúc silk scarves were particular highlights, with their intricate designs earning admiration from visitors.
Over at the food booth, fresh shrimp and veggie spring rolls, grilled meat skewers, bánh mì, iced coffee, and lemon iced tea had guests of all ages lining up. The spouses of Việt Nam’s diplomatic staff worked their magic, dishing out authentic eats with vibrant presentation.
