Simple Entertaining-Vietnamese Party!!

I enjoy vietnamese food a lot, and know many do too.. The nearest vietnamese restaurant is about an hour away, it's just too far away.. So, i think to have a vietnamese party would be cool.

To make it extra special, and to set the mood, lanterns can be hung around the dining area and a little warm lighting will make it guets comfy.

The table setting can be just like the picture above.
