Surprisingly, the best Vietnamese meal in the world

23.01.2019

“A new craze has hit social media in the last few days. Instead of checking in at high-end restaurants, netizens have been rushing to check in at their family meals instead. Is this something to do with the recent poll that voted home-cooked dishes ‘the best in the world’?”

Social networks are always awash with luxurious, exotic dishes from around the world, yet they are being muscled out by the new trend - traditional family meals. This trending topic is adding a new dimension to the world of Facebook and Instagram.

Although maybe not as ‘perfect’ and visually appealing as a restaurant meal, family dinner does hold its own unique charms. A quick search of #comnhata, meaning #MyFamilyMeal, will show you myriad online users proudly displaying their family dinners.

The simplicity of the dishes adds to the attractiveness of this family meal. They say the first taste is with the eyes… When the dinner table looks so good, surely the taste will match up (FB: Mai Huyen).

Along with the eye-catching image, girls are sharing their family recipes that steal the hearts and bellies of their families. In the end, it is usually all about adding a dash of soy sauce to enhance the flavor, or even pouring a bowl to dip each mouthful in.

The sweetness of the boiled melon can only be enhanced with a drizzle of Nam Duong soy sauce, “my young daughter is guaranteed to enjoy it! A perfect family meal” - Facebook user Nguyen Dung proudly presents her family recipe that delights her daughter so.

If you can add a little twist to simple dishes, you will create something completely new and tantalizing (FB Nguyen Ha).

Along with the amazing photos of packed dinner tables, the social networkers discuss the love they get as they share their meals - nothing a restaurant can ever rival!

“It’s the simple things that make you happy, this food may not be luxurious but it definitely brings me joy. A splash of Nam Duong soy sauce brings out the flavor.” - shared by Nguyen Thy Ha.

“My mother’s delicious home cooking, with a bowl of Nam Duong soy sauce to make it perfect.” – Nguyen Tu Anh shared.

It’s easy to see the link between the #comnhata trend and Le Thien Hieu’s video clip for his song “My Family Meal”. The online community raved about the song and its video, full of references to their parents’ childhood, packed with funny lines, and stacked with many meanings.

Once the youth take on a trend, they go with it until everyone is involved, this is exactly what happened this #comnhata. Heart reacts were everywhere on social media, showing love for the simplest smartphone picture, right up to the top-class photography kit.

More than 1000 photos have been uploaded with the hashtag, it shows just how popular a family dinner really is, no matter how young and cool people think they are. The likes and shares generated by something as simple as a mom’s cooking made it clear the trend wasn’t going away any time soon.

For sure, #comnhata photos are going to ensure the survival of the moniker “the best meal in the world” for their home-cooked, family meals.
