Despite nearing 60 years old, Mrs. Trinh Thi Hieu Hanh still wakes up early every day, joining hands with her son to build an entire fortune from what seemed like an extravagant dream
Nearing 60, a mother still 'carries' the dream of wealth with her son
When Mr. Vu Huy Bao expressed his intention to open Thị Buffet, many were in turmoil, deeming the idea vague and unrealistic. A man over 30 years old, inspired by an idea sparked by children's toys... the dream of wealth through a snack buffet, sounds somewhat ludicrous. But Mrs. Hanh just silently supports her son.
Mr. Bảo's Buffet is currently renowned for its array of delightful snacks, attracting enthusiasts of snack treats.
It took over a month of preparation, but Mr. Bảo officially introduced Thị Buffet at 13 Hoa Mai, specializing in snack buffets. Nowadays, for less than 70,000 VND, patrons at Thị Buffet can sample a variety of traditional snacks that evoke childhood memories, such as 'Bùi Thị Xuân' sticky rice, 'Chợ Bà Hoa – Tân Bình' Quang noodles, 'Kỳ Đồng' steamed rice cakes, 'Chợ Bàn Cờ' ram cakes, 'Nha Trang' grilled spring rolls... truly an unbelievably affordable option!

And the owner's elderly mother has willingly taken on this crucial 'logistics' role to assist her son.
In her youth, she gained experience cooking various noodle dishes while trading with Laos. Mrs. Hanh now oversees the preparation of the main noodle dishes and a few other supplementary snacks at Thị Buffet – a dedication that her beloved son deeply appreciates. While one might think that old age is a time for relaxation and enjoyment, Mrs. Hanh finds joy in her work. Every morning, she rises early, joins her son in the kitchen to prepare broth, set up bowls, chopsticks, and open the stall. With her leading by example, from her daughter-in-law to Mr. Bảo's granddaughters, everyone is up early, each with their task, kneading dough, making cakes, decorating, arranging…
