The Vietnamese-Israeli cultural space was chosen to be located in Netanya, because this city is known as the miniature southern French coast in Israel – Cote d’Azur and French Riviera in Israel.
Mayor Miriam Feirberg-Ikar emphasised that Netanya is a tourist city. They welcome visitors from all over the world. Particularly today, he’s pleased to be able to participate in the opening at this event, to witness many people coming here to enjoy Vietnamese food and culture.
Asher Fettmann, owner of Viet-Taam restaurant, said that he married a Vietnamese woman, so he is very interested in the idea of creating a place imbued with Vietnamese culture for tourists and diners around the world, want to learn about the culture and cuisine of Asia in general and Vietnam in particular.
“The people of Netanya city love Vietnamese food very much. They come here often. We also have diners from other cities in the North and Central Israel, because Vietnamese food is very famous,” he added.
Earlier this month, a “Night of Pho” event was held in Or Yehuda city introducing one of Vietnam’s most popular noodle soups to locals, as part of a series of activities of the Food Lovers’ Association of the Ambassadors’ Club of Israel, on the occasion of the 75th Independence Day of Israel, and towards the 30th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Israel.
To organise the event, he said the Vietnamese Embassy had invited chefs of Sofitel Metropole hotel in Hanoi to give instructions to chefs of Attilio cooking school via videoconferencing. All the ingredients had been prepared by the Vietnamese embassy’s staff.
The Vietnamese diplomat expressed his hope that the event would give participants a greater understanding of Pho, to help bring the traditional Vietnamese dish closer to international friends and local people.
The introduction of Vietnamese Pho is part of activities in celebration of Israel’s Independence Day (April 26), and 30 years of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Israel this year.
For his part, Chico Karolizky, director of Attilio cooking school, shared that he’s very proud to organize the ‘Night Pho’ event and hear about traditional Vietnamese dishes. “This is my first time enjoying Pho, very delicious. It’s great that we can learn more traditional dishes of different countries.”
