Culinary delicacies made from Irish seafood and pork impress

Designed for the managers, sales departments, and marketing strategists of food companies in the restaurant, hospitality, and media sectors, the show brought a unique experience and attractive cuisine created by chef Nguyen Manh Hung (Hungazit).

The show took place on September 7 with the attendance of John McCullagh, Irish Ambassador to Vietnam, and Irish Minister Martin Heydon

The dishes accentuated the natural, fresh, and high-quality European flavours of Irish pork and seafood. The first dish on the show was the Langoustine Shrimp Sushi, served with mild wasabi and soy sauce, highlighting the original fresh flavours.

Its favourable geographical position provides excellent opportunities for Ireland to catch a wide variety of seafood, such as brown crab, oysters, lobster, and mussels. The Irish seafood industry is recognised globally and has been exporting to more than 70 countries around the world.

Ireland's annual seafood exports reach €600 million ($604 million). The number of imports to the Asian market has increased significantly in recent years.

The next two dishes shown were from Irish pork tenderloin – a type of pork preferred for its tenderness, which is very suitable for preparing a variety of dishes.

With a rich tradition of producing top-quality pork, Ireland produces pork from family-run farms under strict EU regulations on animal welfare and food safety.

Ireland also implements the Pig Quality Assurance Scheme, which adds additional quality requirements and ensures the highest quality product.

“All of Ireland’s top seafood exporters are members of Origin Green,” said Malcolm Leoi, market expert for Southeast Asia at Bord Beer.

“Origin Green is Ireland's food and drink sustainability and the world's first national food and drink sustainability programme. Origin Green promotes sustainable production throughout Ireland's agricultural supply chain, so Irish food is world-renowned for being sustainably produced by caring hands."
