When sharing her father's meal online, Khanh Linh was extremely surprised to see everyone giving her a lot of hearts. The sisters all took their hats off in admiration at the delicious and attractive meals that the driver cooked for his daughter. Every meal he made was varied, such as tofu with tomato sauce, stir-fried chayote with beef. Sometimes it was green pumpkin soup with pig's tail, fish braised with molasses...

Talking to Tuoi Tre Online , Khanh Linh said that at home, both her father and mother cook well. Her mother goes to the market early. However, her mother's job is busy, so her father takes care of the kitchen. The family has 3 daughters, so her parents pamper them a lot, rarely forcing them to do anything, as long as they are willing to help.

"My dad knows how to cook many dishes. His signature dishes are sour soup, sweet and sour ribs, braised pork, onion chicken salad, braised chicken gizzards and pineapple... I find every dish my dad cooks very delicious and meticulous. Many times when he eats out and finds it delicious, he remembers the ingredients and flavors and then cooks it for his wife and children. It's also delicious even when it's his first time cooking," Linh said.

The daughter commented that her father's cooking was delicious but took a long time. He prepared each step very carefully. He washed and processed everything before cooking, not cooking and doing it all at once. Each simple meal of rice, soup, and meat took about an hour. A more elaborate meal with many dishes, including salads or sweet and sour chicken feet, duck mixed with onions, or grilled beef marinated with garlic, took him 2-3 hours to prepare.

He demands that this meat must be cooked this way, that root must be stir-fried that way, this vegetable must go with this dish to be perfect... Therefore, the meal on the table has never been prepared carelessly.

The kitchen under his hands is always kept clean because "no matter how elaborate the work is, it must be neat and tidy".

When he finished eating, he didn't let anyone clean up but always said: "Leave it there, I'll wash it", "You guys keep working. I'll clean up later"... There were days when Linh cleaned up, her father would frantically eat in a hurry to avoid cleaning up. She often reassured him: "Dad, take your time eating. I can do this".

Mr. Thang never complained when cooking for his daughter after confinement. He enjoyed and focused on cooking. He said that he was able to cook since he was a child. Later, taking care of his pregnant wife, giving birth, and then becoming a father, helping his wife take care of the children, his cooking skills improved day by day.

"I help my children and grandchildren as much as I can. Luckily, my daughter got married and lives nearby, so my grandparents have the opportunity to care for her, ask about her, and look after her every day. Thanks to that, I feel secure. I cook for my children but the whole family eats together," he said.

When asked which meal he liked best, he said he put his heart and soul into every meal, so he didn't have any special memories. However, every time he cooked for his daughter, he recalled the memories of cooking for his pregnant wife when she gave birth to their third child 12 years ago.

According to him, the secret to cooking is also very simple. The cook needs to prepare the ingredients carefully, clean them thoroughly, season them with enough spices, and wait for enough time. The bones must be simmered thoroughly to make the broth sweet. For stir-fried dishes, the time must be precise so that all the ingredients are cooked together, and none of them are too dry. Limit the use of MSG.

"I don't claim to be a good cook, I just know how to cook, but when my children compliment me on how delicious the food is, I'm very happy.

All parents love their children, but each has a different way of expressing it.

For me, being able to be with my wife and children every day is a blessing. I think that if I can do anything, I will do it all.

I always want my family to be happy, comfortable, and filled with laughter. My children are the greatest asset of my life," he said.

Khanh Linh said that her husband's parents live far away so they can't help with the cooking. Instead, when they have time off, they come to visit their children and grandchildren. Her husband also works all day and isn't good at cooking. However, he loves his wife and takes good care of their children.

"I'm happy to be taken care of by my parents. When I was pregnant, my mother often cooked for me," she said.
