Three Must-Try Dishes to Start Your Year Right
Chả Giò – The Golden Symbol of Togetherness
Every Vietnamese family knows that Tet isn’t complete without chả giò gracing the table. These crispy golden spring rolls represent prosperity and unity, with each bite delivering a satisfying crunch that gives way to a savory filling of minced pork, vegetables, and vermicelli noodles. At Propaganda, our chả giò honors this beloved tradition while elevating it with premium ingredients and expert technique, making it the perfect starter to your New Lunar Year in Saigon celebration.
Phở – Begin the Year of the Horse with Bold Flavors
There’s a reason Vietnamese families choose phở on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This iconic noodle soup, with its aromatic broth simmered for hours, represents wishes for a flavorful and fulfilling year ahead. Starting your Year of the Horse with a steaming bowl of phở at Propaganda means celebrating with a dish that balances tradition and taste. The fragrant star anise, cinnamon, and ginger in every spoonful set the tone for twelve months of bold experiences and rich memories.
Soursop Ice Cream – A Nostalgic Journey to Vietnamese Childhoods
For anyone who grew up in Vietnam during the 90s, soursop ice cream (kem mãng cầu) isn’t just a dessert—it’s a time machine to simpler days. Remember the joy of your parents buying you “kem” on the first day of the Lunar New Year? That creamy, tangy-sweet flavor was the taste of childhood dreams coming true. Our soursop ice cream at Propaganda captures that exact nostalgia, transporting you back to those precious moments while creating new memories during your Tet celebration.
