HCM CITY (VNS) — Famed TV chef Martin Yan impressed audiences recently with his demonstrations of traditional Chinese cooking at Ngan Dinh Restaurant last Saturday and at Cafe Central An Dong at the Windsor Plaza Hotel on Sunday.

The demo was held to celebrate this year's Dragon Boat Festival, which took place on May 5 on the Lunar Calendar. It is a folk festival that has been held for more than 2,000 year, and one of the most important festivals in China as well as Viet Nam.

Eating rice dumplings and holding dragon boat races are traditional parts of the festival.

According to WMC, Yan will bring his expertise to Windsor Plaza Hotel and the other WMC Group managed restaurants throughout the year.
