Meng-qin’s Vietnamese Delicacy

Meng-qin (夢琴) opened a small Vietnamese café in Chiayi’s Minsyong Township three years ago. Although business is good, the customers like the food, and the job is very rewarding to her, the work is tough and she often works alone from 6:30 am until midnight, sometimes without even having the time to eat.

Just like Meng-qin, the citizen journalist who filmed this report, Ruan Jin-hong (阮金紅), is also a Vietnamese woman that got married to a Taiwanese man. Ruan Jin-hong hopes that the report will give Taiwanese people an insight into the struggle and exertion that lies behind the delicious Vietnamese cuisine. So next time you eat out, please don't forget to extend a smile or give some encouragement to the workers in such cafés.

夢琴的越南美食

照片

夢琴在嘉義民雄開越南小吃店已經三年，雖然生意不錯，客人很喜歡她的口味，她也很有成就感，但因為她通常只有一個人，每天由早上六點半忙到半夜，工作非常辛苦，有時甚至沒時間吃飯。

拍攝本支公民新聞的公民記者阮金紅，與夢琴一樣來自越南，是嫁到台灣的新移民。阮金紅希望透過本片讓台灣人了解，在好吃的越南美食背後，其實存在不為人知的辛酸，請大家未來享用美食時，不要忘了給姐妹們一個微笑或鼓勵。
