On Facebook, amid the flood of news and images of inundation, among the urgent rescue and relief efforts by authorities and functional forces, I came across an image that warmed my heart: hot meals being packed and prepared for their journey from the area of fomer Phu Thuan to Hue Central Hospital, to be given to hungry patients trapped by the floods.

Not only travelers from afar, but various TikTokers and Facebookers with hundreds of followers also come to Hue to explore and share unique culinary experiences that they’ve gained in this place.
