Russian Cuisine in Vietnam | VTV4

Such thinking might lead you to assume that the long-standing Russian restaurant in the little alley of Pham Sư Manh Street in Hanoi was founded by a Russian expat. Wrong! It was set up by a Vietnamese person who went to university in the former Soviet Union.
Another Russian restaurant also resided at this address before and was known as The Little Dream. Now, the new owner simply named it Russian Restaurant.
Back in the 1960s, when Vietnam was a close ally with the Soviet Union, the Russian language was taught at all public schools throughout the country. It is a beautiful yet very difficult language. Most of the textbooks taught basic conversations, some grammar and lots of vocabulary.
Every year, Vietnam sent thousands of students to Russia to study all the main sections of government and economy so they would come back and together build up a destroyed country rising from ashes of war.
Later, in the 1980s, more young people also went on government programmes to train as workers in garment factories, steel factories and many more.
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, many people came back home in Vietnam, yet they sometimes feel the melancholy of their youth spent in a distant country. They feel the need to eat the food of their youth to quench their nostalgia.
Born under such circumstances, the menu of the Russian Restaurant features most of the popular dishes from the stolovaya, or the college canteen in Russian.
Popular in the chronically underfed country, the food from the stolovaya provided some protein, saturated fat and lots of carbs in potato dishes.
A Russian meal usually comprises of a soup, the first course, the second and dessert.
We opted to have the popular borscht soup (VND35,000). The ruby red colour really warmed us up, like it used to warm up the cold shivering students from Southeast Asia who went halfway around the globe to work or study in Russia.
For the first course, we chose to have two salads: the usual Russian or Olivier salad (VND95,000) and the more sophisticated shuba, or herring under a fur coat (VND138,000).
