PANO - Troops of Regiment 8 of Military Zone 3’s Division 395 have ebulliently competed in a Chung cake making competition held ahead the Lunar Near Year (Tet) holiday.

They carefully prepared glutinous rice, pork, phrynium leaves and other spices to ensure quality of these traditional cakes.

Making Chung cakes is very important to bring a warm Tet for troops who are on duty during the Lunar New Year.

PANO would like to introduce some images of this meaningful competition.
