Let this single photo to express how we had enjoyed the BIG day!
And lastly, let's hear some of the thoughts from our fellow group member~
"The only Vietnamse cuisine I could think of was phở bò (beef noodle) before this cooking project. I totally had no idea how the Vietnamese chicken salad tasted like, so did my group members. Therefore, preparing the source was the most challenging part in making the dish.
Decorating the salad was enjoyable. With the help of Cô Bích, I learnt to decorate my dishes the very first time in my life. Impressively, it was so simple and only needed a little effort to make the whole dish look fabulous! From this, I saw the beauty of Vietnamese cuisine.
Lastly, Cảm ơn các Cô và sinh viên của lớp tiếng Việt for the nice food and the laughter in this project!"
-Xiao V (Bích Thủy)
"The cooking project is a wonderful and pleasant experience with great food and companions. I must admit it was not a “chicken feet” (easy task) in preparing our Vietnamese chicken salad as the other groups are very competitive and have”die die must win” attitude.
Through our sweats and tears and do not want to lose attitude, we (consist of 3 dep trai and 1 dep gai) did our best too and finally come up with the salad though the salad did not come out too well with Co Bich but thankfully we are not the worst group.
For ending, I would like to say there was one particular group who actually quite like our salad you know and I like the tomato and prawn soup."

"Me and my 3 others of my group mate decided to sign up for Gỏi Gà as our cooking project as it seems like the easiest of them all to prepare and how wrong were we. Having no clue how the dish looks like we were at a total loss when comes to salad dressing preparation. Should there be more fish sauce or more lime juice it was a hard decision. I personally love my dish to be more on the sour side and have made our sauce really sour by extracting juices from two big lemons. To our horror it was a terrible mistake on our part, Co Bich’s face cringed at the first taste of our dish before exclaiming, “Uncle! Auntie! Sooo Souuuuurr!” We found out later that the secret to a Vietnamese belly is to use large amount of the legendary Vietnamese Fish Sauce in every dish.
Overall, it was a great and fun experience to have a such an activity at a teacher’s place where we students got to know our module lecturer and each other better through an interactive, engaging project such as this. GREAT FUN!!"

"It was an once of a "Uni-lifetime" experience! I have never imagined all the fun and laughters in a CLS module. From the point where we prepare our ingredients to giving final touches of our 'EPIC Gỏi Gà' , those wonderful times are the ones we could never find in classrooms. :)
We watched other groups preparing their own masterpieces, we learnt new food-carving techniques from Co Bich, and, we even made our own decorations and dressing for our dish.
It has been real fun, to work with awesome group members, to learn from great teachers, and to be a part of the Viet class. VIET 1 rocks!!! :D"
