On the morning of October 25, RMIT University Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City campus, officially set a Guinness World Record with the largest number "25" made from 631 Vietnamese-style bread loaves filled with pate and cold cuts.

The event celebrates RMIT's 25th anniversary in Vietnam and honors Vietnamese cuisine internationally.

The event started early in the morning, when more than 400 volunteers and RMIT staff worked together to make the filling, spread the pâté and meticulously arrange the loaves of bread, creating a giant number "25".

Also within the framework of the program, RMIT Vietnam cooperated with social enterprise KOTO to launch a fundraising campaign to build "KOTO Dream School" to support disadvantaged youth in vocational training and life skills development.

The event attracted more than 1,000 attendees, raising nearly 600 million VND for the project.

Speaking at the event, Guinness World Records judge Austin Johnson said the record for the world's largest sandwich "will certainly attract international attention to Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City and especially Vietnamese cuisine."

Phuc Long, a volunteer who participated in making bread, expressed: "I am very proud to contribute to spreading Vietnamese cuisine through a Guinness record. I believe that this will help Vietnamese culture create a more positive influence in the eyes of international friends."

Sharing with Tuoi Tre Online , Ms. Jodie Altan, Deputy General Director in charge of external affairs at RMIT University Vietnam, affirmed that banh mi carries within it the Vietnamese story of creativity, resilience and solidarity.

“The bread itself is a wonderful thing,” she said. “It combines seemingly unrelated ingredients, but when combined, they create a magical flavor. It is also a metaphor for our community spirit today, when people come together, we create something truly special.”

Australian Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City Sarah Hooper also appreciated the humanitarian significance of the activity: "This is not just about breaking records, but about breaking down barriers between education and community, between opportunity and disadvantage, between cultures developing together."

Jimmy Pham, founder of social enterprise KOTO, said: “The event clearly demonstrates the shared values between RMIT and KOTO: celebrating culture, community and the power of transformation. Together, we will pave the way for the next generation through education and careers.”
