The list is part of the association’s project to build a database of 1,000 Vietnamese dishes by 2023.

From this database, the VCCA plans to build a map of Vietnamese cuisine by 2024 as part of creating a Vietnamese cuisine museum in Hue. 

Since June, the association received a list of 421 dishes recommended by the tourism and culture authorities, cuisine associations and tourism promotion centres in 63 cities and provinces. 

The list includes 47 dishes from the north, 37 from the central and 37 from the south, which are favorite foods of local people and tourists.
