From a small bakery, the journey will lead viewers to Phu Hoa lotus pond. Here, lotuses not only beautify the landscape but also provide a source of livelihood. Viewers will witness firsthand the locals harvesting lotus and preparing the seeds for boiling or making refreshing lotus seed dessert. From a simple and heartfelt rural feast, the program will also reveal everyday moments such as fishing, grilling snakehead fish, and cooking in a rustic kitchen.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life, Phu Hoa still retains its simplicity, where " cuisine doesn't need to be fancy or embellished; the deliciousness lies in its naturalness, the beauty in its rustic charm, and the most precious thing is the warmth and sharing of human kindness."

The allure of Phu Hoa's cuisine also stems from the simple stories of those who "preserve the soul of the countryside." These include Mr. Do Tuan Phong (local guide), Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tram (Phu Hoa Commune Culture and Social Affairs Department), Ms. Phuong, Ms. Hoa, Ms. Lan... They are the ones who inspire, always considering each garden plot as an integral part of their homeland.
