Danish chef Benjamin Werge Jensen will bring Nordic flavours to Ho Chi Minh City when NordCham Vietnam hosts its Nordic Business Awards gala on 13 November.
The executive chef at Topas Ecolodge in Sapa has created a three-course dinner inspired by Nordic nature. According to NordCham’s menu announcement, the dishes combine Nordic culinary traditions with Vietnamese ingredients.
The dinner will accompany the awards ceremony at Sofitel Saigon Plaza, where NordCham will recognise companies and individuals contributing to the Nordic-Vietnamese business community.
From gravad lax to Danish rødgrød
The menu follows three themes: the sea, the forest and the light. Guests will start with gravad lax using salmon from Norwegian producer SalMar, followed by seven-day dry-aged duck breast. Danish rødgrød with Østerberg sorbet will complete the dinner.
Seven awards will be presented during the evening, covering sustainability, innovation, community impact, workplace practices and leadership. This year’s categories also include Start-Up of the Year.
The gala takes place from 6pm to 10pm. NordCham has announced that registration is closing soon.
