Compact office lunch turns into a hot pot
The unchanging habit of Vietnamese office workers is always taking a nap. Even if the company only gives 1-hour break or more than 1 hour 30 minutes, they still take advantage of a light meal to arrange a time to take a nap.
Usually, the dishes on the menu of the office world at lunchtime often go around such as rice portions, noodle soup, fried noodles, grilled meat vermicelli, etc., but rarely, a meal of vermicelli is organized together. or grilled chicken with green pepper… In general, choose dishes that neatly fill your stomach in the best time of 30 minutes, no more.
However, if you look closely, you will know that there is a part of office workers who choose not to take a nap to invest in a hearty meal.
Ms. An Nguyen: “I don’t know how the lunchtime trend changes, but I personally still have the habit of taking a 30-minute nap before working the afternoon shift. But many meals a week, I often put it off because I set up a hot pot association. Because it takes 30 minutes to go to the restaurant and back, but eating hot pot is also complicated because many ingredients are not cooked, so it takes twice as long as a normal meal.
Surely many people will find it strange when choosing to eat hot pot in a confusing time frame, making themselves miserable. Because other people are used to eating hot pot after hours, it makes time comfortable, but when we don’t know what to eat, we’re bored with lunch or we’re in the mood, so we just take the car out to the sunny afternoon to make a hot pot.”
But it must be corrected, it is not the office people who eat hot pot because of the holidays, at the beginning of the month, they receive a salary or on the occasion of someone’s birthday. The habit of waving chopsticks in a smoky hot pot happens very often during the working week.
“Almost every week we have to have lunch, we eat hot pot. But now eating hot pot is very compact, unlike before. The shops are almost prepared from picking vegetables, and scooping up the broth in the pot, Come and share the meat and fish on a plate, call it immediately. But on the app, you can also order an order to eat at the office, the hotpot combo they pack very neatly, the shrimp meat is also cooked first, just pour it out. pot, dip vegetables in hot broth and eat. My colleagues and I consider eating hot pot as one of the main dishes for a normal lunch.” – Ms. Thuy Tram.
