You have to eat it, mash it ... This is the philosophy of a chef in Hanoi who tries to boost morale in the Vietnamese capital by selling green burgers in the form of a Corona virus.
Chef Hwang Tong laughs in the face of the global epidemic, and now spends time with his team .. They make dozens of burgers mixed with green tea and then add small "crowns" of dough to become similar to the images of that coronavirus under a microscope.
In "Pizza Home" to buy food in downtown Hanoi, Tong said, "We joke about this joke: If there is something to frighten you, eat it."
"Corona does not become intimidating when it swallows pieces of burgers in the form of the virus itself. "This thinking is spreading joy during this epidemic."
The store sells about 50 burgers a day, despite the increasing number of stores and companies that have had to close due to the virus.
Vietnam recorded about 148 cases of the virus, and there were no deaths, according to Ministry of Health figures.
Dang Den Koi, 66, as he walked out of the restaurant with his grandson, said the green burger was a way to boost morale.
"This corona virus is very dangerous, but if we eat a burger, in the same form, it will appear in our minds as if we have already won it," he added.
