Top 1: Fragrant pork wrapped in betel leaves in school catering
Pork wrapped in betel leaves (cha la lot) is a familiar speciality for most Vietnamese people. The crispy betel leaf on the outside has a distinctive aroma and goes wonderfully with rice. The filling inside is made from minced pork or beef, with finely chopped shiitake and wood ear mushrooms that keep the roll tender but not greasy.

Top 3: Scrambled eggs with tomato in school catering

Top 4: Fried meatballs in school catering
Fried dishes always seem to be the easiest way to "win over" the children who love their food most. Finely minced meat is rolled into balls, coated in batter and deep-fried until crispy, while the cheese inside melts into a salty, creamy filling that creates an irresistible flavour!

On hot summer days, katuk leaves (rau ngot) are an effective way to cool and cleanse the body.

Since the children are still small, the shrimp is finely minced to make it easier for them to eat.
