Eating habits In Viet Nam
5
Meals in Viet Nam - lunch or dinner - must include rice. Traditionally, Vietnamese meals are prepared by wives or
mothers and the whole family is expected to eat. However, families now may have only one meal a day at home,
and it may not include all the family members.
Tastes, cooking methods and dishes are different between the three regions: the North. the Central, and the South.
Nowadays, these differences have become small.
When families do not have time to prepare meals, they eat out. Employees have lunch somewhere nearby the work
places. Young people in Viet Nam now like fast food because it is convenient.

II. Read the passage and answer the questions (1 pt)
Vietnamese people often start a new day by breakfast and the next meals are lunch and dinner. Breakfast
means small meal that a person eats in the morning. In previous years, there was no definition of breakfast as a light
meal in Vietnam because breakfast was regarded as one of the main meals. In rural areas, many people are the main
meal at 4 or 5 a.m to go to field. When the sun goes down, they just have the second meal and then go home and
have an early sleep. In the city, Vietnamese meals have some changes. Breakfast becomes official sub- meal between
6 or 7 a.m. It may consist of sticky rice, rice soup or bread. One of the favourite dishes for breakfast is noodles with
pork, chicken or beef called “pho”.
