Hue royal dinner


When ecotourism and marine tourism are seem to be in saturated in destination, many tourists started targeting culinary tours for their vacation. Food products Hue "royal dinner" is attracting not a small amount of customers is one example.

There was a king named King Tu Duc who ruled from 1848 to 1883 lived a life of truly imperial luxury: at every meal, 50 chefs prepared 50 dishes served by 50 servants and 50 artists to play music and dance. Since then, royal meal became a kind of special talk (story) in cultural life of Vietnam.

Let’s pretending you are the King, beside you is the Queen accompanied by tens of servants, all wear traditional royal clothes. All the served food is royal including dishes reminding dragon, phoenix, or peacock. They are not only looking so nice on the outside but also taste even better.

Furthermore, there is another crucial feature of Royal dinner, a ceremony with a lot of interesting rules. Before the first drink for the King health, there is a short speech made by servant chief. Everyone has to say "Van tue" (which means “10 thousand year”) to wish the King a long life. The best royal music and dance will be performed by artists coming from Hue conservatory. Nothing is better than enjoying a delicious food while listening to melodious music and having a feeling of being the King. That is why Royal dinner is a must for those who come to Hue, Vietnam.
