Unique cocktail show features South African culture

Ho Chi Minh City is the setting for a unique cocktail show called Animus, opening in March, to promote culinary culture between South Africa and Vietnam.

The three-week long event, organised by the South African Consulate General in HCM City, is part of activities to mark the 20th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties.
 
 
The Animus cocktail demonstration is taking place at Animus Lounge restaurant with the participation of several famous chefs, including Nguyen Hoang Duc who won golden prizes in domestic and international cooking competitions.
Duc will make more than 300 different cocktails from the four most famous types of South African red wine.
The event aims to help Vietnamese people understand more about cuisine, art and the culture of South Africa.
Last month, the South African Embassy in Hanoi and the South African Consulate General in HCM City co-hosted a seminar and an exchange programme between South African wine exporters and Vietnamese partners.
