Huyen Anh's vermicelli soup restaurant, located near the dialysis area at Bach Mai Hospital, has attracted attention these days with a sign that reads "5K vermicelli soup for the poor and street vendors".
This noodle shop still sells at normal prices, however, it will sell about 200 servings a day for 5,000 VND for people in difficult circumstances.
Sharing about her purpose of selling 5,000 VND noodle dishes, Ms. Vu Thu Huyen (born in 1992) said that this has been her long-standing plan to help people in difficult circumstances.
To have the funds to make the 5,000 VND bowls of noodles, Ms. Huyen has taken a portion of the profits from the restaurant's operations, along with her personal income.
“My shop is near the dialysis area at Bach Mai Hospital, where most of the people are in difficult circumstances. That’s why I want to sell it to them for 5,000 VND to reduce the cost,” Huyen shared.
According to Ms. Huyen, the 5,000 VND bowls of noodles were sold by the restaurant a while ago on the 1st and 15th of the lunar month, but from now on she will apply it every day to people in difficult circumstances.
“We sell at 5,000 VND/bowl so that diners feel comfortable because they have paid and are served like “gods”. A 5,000 VND portion will have crab soup, beans, and crab cakes. The restaurant has all the necessary documents, including food safety. The restaurant serves all day from morning to 9:30 pm”, Ms. Huyen said.
Ms. Nguyen Phuong Ngan (a patient in the dialysis neighborhood) shared that she has been here for 8 years, the cost of dialysis is very expensive, recently she learned about a restaurant selling 5k noodle dishes so she invited more people in her neighborhood to eat.
“On the days I go for dialysis, I eat charity meals, but on normal days I go shopping and cook for myself. When I found out about this 5,000 VND restaurant, I was very happy because it helped me reduce my living expenses,” said Ms. Ngan.
Ms. Dang Khanh Ly (born in 1993) read the sign hanging on the door of the restaurant, was curious and went in to try the food. Today was the first time she ate here.
"I have been on dialysis for 11 years. For a patient like me, in addition to taking medicine and going to dialysis, meals are also very important. If there is not enough nutrition, red blood cells will drop. Sometimes, the economy is not enough to cut down on food portions to pay for other things," said Ms. Ly.
