Wild Lotus Rstaurant
Address: 50 Nguyen Du street, Hanoi City, Vietnam
 

Global cuisine has been influenced by cultural preferences for different tastes as much as by local climate or geography. Many of the spices used to create the tastes we love originated in just one region of tropical forests in a previously remote group of islands..
International trade in spices began thousands of years ago. Fortunes were made and lost-and dreams dreamt and shattered-in that trade. And eras of global discovery were inspired by the desire to discover new routes to access these valuable seeds, roots, barks and fruit.
