Our Indigenous Vietnamese family back in South #Vietnam village still practice the new year ritual of putting a couple of lucky red envelopes with some money in them, into their refillable, large rice barrel. To protect the family from hunger & keep being blessed with rice & food to eat 🙏🍚🌾

Black Chung cake is a distinctive type of Chung cake made by the Tay ethnic people in Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province. Traditionally prepared only for Tet (the Lunar New Year), it has now gained popularity and has become a sought-after delicacy among tourists visiting the region.
