🍃 Viet Heritage Ep. #1 – Bánh Cốm: Hanoi’s Autumn Treat!

Special Cofee Talks "Viet Heritage series" - Di sản Việt. This special series help promote Vietnamese local artisans and local products through English speaking activities, thought-provoking debate questions and language exchange.

A huge thank you to Ms. Nhung from Bánh Cốm Xưa Nay for sharing fascinating stories about the history, varieties, and traditional making process of bánh cốm!

🎁 From fun activities and delicious treats to lively English discussions, we explored some thought-provoking questions:

Should tourists support local specialties like bánh cốm or choose familiar global brands like McDonald’s?
Who should take responsibility for preserving and developing traditional products — the government or local businesses?

More than just English practice — it’s about discovering culture, exchanging perspectives, and connecting people! 🌍✨

☕ One Coffee. One World.

Khi thu về Hà Nội, người ta không chỉ nhớ đến hoa sữa, những con phố dịu dàng hay những gánh hoa rong, mà còn nhớ đến cốm – một nét đặc trưng của mùa thu. Đặc biệt, bánh cốm với lớp cốm xanh dẻo thơm và nhân đậu xanh ngọt bùi, mang trong mình hương vị giản dị và tinh tế của Hà Nội.
When autumn comes to Hanoi, people think not only of milk flowers, quiet streets, and colorful flower vendors, but also of cốm, young green rice.

Bánh cốm, made with chewy green rice and sweet mung bean filling, is a simple yet delicate treat that captures the flavors, traditions, and spirit of Hanoi.

Đến với Coffee Talks tháng 10, chúng mình sẽ ra mắt tập đầu tiên của Special Edition “Viet Heritage – Di sản Việt”, với chủ đề bánh cốm. Khách mời đặc biệt là đại diện Bánh cốm Xưa Nay, đến từ Hà Nội. Họ sẽ chia sẻ câu chuyện lịch sử, văn hóa và quy trình làm bánh cốm – một hương vị gắn liền với mùa thu Hà Nội.

In October, Coffee Talks will launch the first episode of our special series, “Viet Heritage,” featuring bánh cốm, Hanoi’s traditional green rice cake. Our special guest is a representative of Xua Nay Banh Com from Hanoi, who will share the history, cultural meaning, and traditional process behind this beloved Hanoi delicacy.

Our agenda:
30 mins: Meet the guest speaker, fun activity and Q&A , special gifts for all who joins.
60-90 mins left: Regular english discussion. Pre-heated debate questions will be provided few days before in our Coffee Talks FB page.

☕ ONLINE COFFEE TALK: Vietnamese Men — Controlling or Caring? 🇻🇳

Đàn ông Việt Nam có gia trưởng hay không?
Vietnamese men are still patriarchal today?

Did you know that nearly 63% of ever-married women in Vietnam reported experiencing at least one form of domestic violence or controlling behavior by their husbands in a 2019 national study?

Influenced by traditional Confucian values, some Vietnamese men may still believe they should have the final say in the family. But is it about being controlling, or simply showing care in a traditional way?

Do you think Vietnamese men are still patriarchal today? Is this changing with younger generations?

Join our Online Coffee Talk to share your thoughts, exchange cultural perspectives, and practise English in a friendly, open-minded community!
