Description

VEGGI Coop's Tết Lunar New Year Dinner in collaboration with Chef Nini Nguyễn and Sông Cái Distillery will feature a menu of traditional Vietnamese dishes and flavors inspired by the Tết holiday you can't find anywhere else! Tết, short for Tết Nguyên Đán, meaning "Festival of the First Day of the Year" is one of the most important celebrations in Vietnamese culture. When describing the holiday, the expression “an Tet,” is used, which is translated as “New Years meal.” To celebrate, Chef Nguyễn is preparing a 5-course meal featuring New Year dishes she loves and are traditional to her and the holiday. Before every course serving, Chef will share the significance of this dish to her and this time of year. Her menu features Thịt Kho Tàu, caramelized pork belly with soft boiled eggs, Súp măng cua, crab and white asparagus soup, & much more! Prepared with seasonal VEGGI Farm Coop & other local growers produce and herbs. She's prepared this unique and special menu just for this evening! Chef Nguyễn's menu will be accompanied by Sông Cái Distillery from Hà Nội, Việt Nam, pairing each course with their handcrafted gin cocktails which feature botanicals exclusively from long-standing farming and foraging highland ethnic minority communities such as H’mong, Red Dzao, and Kinh families. Our dinner series has two seatings, 6:00pm & 8:00pm, with a special surprise in between seatings! We'll announce more on this as the event approaches...! When we say this will be a culinary celebration you don't want to miss, we mean it! Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!
