Imagine gathering around a table at twilight in the highlands, where the chill night air carries hints of woodsmoke and wild herbs, and every dish tells a story of ancient trails and resilient hands. Diginewsfeed froze that exact enchantment in November 2018, turning a simple feast into an enduring celebration of Northwest Vietnam’s deepest flavors.
The round table glows under warm, intimate lighting, laden with an abundant spread that feels both generous and reverent. At the heart sits a majestic wooden bowl brimming with thinly sliced raw horse meat, adorned with fresh lime wedges, chilies, and vibrant greens—a signature Tay Bac delicacy. Nearby, a steaming bowl of fragrant broth hints at rich phở or thắng cố, while plates of grilled stream fish, crispy fried delicacies, pickled vegetables, and sticky rice molded into perfect domes reflect the region’s rugged bounty.
