ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Above all, I would like to express my special thanks to my teacher, Mr. Nguyen
Tat Thang, for his whole-hearted teaching and guidance which give me energy to
do my research.
I deeply thank my parents for their financial supports as well as their
encouragements and valuable information during the time of my research.
My thankfulness is also given to the village patriarchs and my friends in Dinh
Trang Hoa commune. Without their enthusiastic helps and cooperation, I would
not be able to successfully complete my study.
ABSTRACT
Lam Dong is a province with many minority groups such as Lach people in Lac
Duong, K Ho people in Di Linh, Churu people in Don Duong......and each group
has their special customs, traditions. In this research, I focus on some typical
traditional cuisine of K Ho people and its popularity among young K Ho
generation in Dinh Trang Hoa commune. The data of this research were collected
from interviewing the patriarchs, handling out survey questionnaire and from
observing the dinner of several K Ho families in Dinh Trang Hoa commune.
Typical cuisines of K Ho people are made from natural materials which are very
close to their life. These foods and drinks also bring specific flavor of
mountainous area. But traditional dishes are not very popular with K Ho people.
This is a problem that needs to be solved to preserve the plural form of Vietnamese
culinary culture.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
I. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, parallel to develop the economy many countries also attach special
importance to develop their culture, especially, Vietnam-a country with several
minority groups. Culture is a plural form field consists of fashion culture, life
style. Among them is culinary culture. It is necessary to keep the culinary
culture of each minority group in order to preserve the plural form of Vietnamese
culinary culture in particular and nation character in general.
1. Rationale
In a country with many minority groups like Vietnam, culinary culture is an
interesting field to focus on. Although there were several articles, books wrote
about the culinary in different regions in Vietnam such as: the traditional cuisine in
the north, in the south or in the west of Vietnam, the articles and books about the
traditional cuisine of minority groups, particularly K Ho peoples traditional
cuisine, is not worth considering .That is the reason that I do this study. Besides,
my curiosity about K Ho traditional cuisine, about their flavor and popularity
nowadays are the motivation for me to do this research.
2. Aims of the research
I do my research paper to learn about three most typical dishes and one most
typical drink and their making method of K Ho people in Dinh Trang Hoa
commune. Besides that, via this study, I would like to refine my understanding
about K Ho people traditional cuisine. And, the research is an evidence of the
degree of the traditional cuisine popularity among K Ho people which offers us
good method to check if the traditional cuisine are still popular with K Ho
people.
Deep interview method
The deep interview method was applied in order to exploit information about
ingredients and making method of tradition dishes and drink. It is offered to 4
patriarchs from Kn Yng, Kn Ch, Kn Tm and Poh Dam village.
Using this method, I was more dynamic and flexible on asking the patriarchs so
that I got more details information.
Observation method
Dinner is very important with K Ho people families. They always prepare
carefully for their dinner. From that point, I spent three days to go to visit many
K Ho families around six villages in Dinh Trang Hoa commune, and observed
their dinners to see if the traditional cuisine were regularly prepared or not?
Methods of data analysis
All data from observation and quantitative data from questionnaires that I got were
listed and arranged logically in order to work it out easily.
All qualitative data were collected by interviewing four patriarchs were selected
again before using for different parts of the research.
IV. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
1. The traditional cuisine of K Ho people in Dinh Trang Hoa commune
Living between mountainous areas, beside the main food such as rice, cornK
Ho people also take full advantage of natural vegetables as well as animals which
are available in the mountains, streams even in their gardens.
Based on the content of the interview, there are three most typical of traditional
dishes and one most typical of traditional drinks of K Ho people in Dinh Trang
Hoa commune. Those dishes are: Bip S py, Bip Prng and Bln Prn.
According the patriarchs, these foods used to familiar to daily meals of many K
Ho families in Dinh Trang Hoa. And one most typical drink is Tr nm; this
kind of drink is a part that is indispensable in different occasions among K Ho
people.
2. The making method of K Ho typical dishes and drink
Most of traditional dishes and drinks of K Ho people are simple and easy to
make. They are processed from natural materials selected from streams, mountain,
so they brings specific flavor, mountainous flavor.
2.1. Bip S Py
Bip S Py is a kind of soup. It is Bip S cooked with rice flour.
Ingredients
The main materials of this dish are: Bip S and rice flour.
A bowl of Bip S py
Simple, easy to cook, but this dish bring natural flavor to K Ho people meal. The
word Py here is a verb which means stirs a mixture regularly. It seems that by
Py, the flavor of the dish becomes more and more charming.
2.2. Bip Prng
Bip Prng is Bip S and gl mixed together in a young bamboo tube before
cooking.
Ingredients
completed, and the dish is ready to cook. Young bamboo tube with full materials
is roasted on great flames. The tube should be turn carefully during cooking time
to make all materials be definitely cooked.
To improve its flavor, K Ho people add dried fishes or bacons when cooking.
And this dish will be more delicious if it is cooked in an earthen pot of K Ho
people.
Cooking method
fermentation which often last for three months. After this processing, Tr Nm
can be used in many occasions and festivals of K Ho people.

eat;15%
40%do not know name ; 20%
do not know method of cooking; 25%
In the 300 samples in six villages in Dinh Trang Hoa commune that I have
surveyed, there is 20% of the samples do not know the name of their traditional
dishes, and the majority is the people in the age of 15 to 20. It reflects that K Ho
teenagers (young generations) do not care about their custom or tradition,
especially, their traditional cuisine.
25% of them know their traditional cuisine, but they do not know the making
method. Also, they are the samples from 15 to 25 years old. So, a confirmation is
the making methods of traditional cuisine are being vanished slowly among young
K Ho generations.
The rest, 55% of the samples know both their traditional dishes and cooking
method, but the amount like to eat their traditional dishes is far less than the
amount who do not like to eat, 40% of them do not like to eat their traditional
dishes, and only 15% of them like. And, among them, the amount of male do not
like traditional dishes is much more that female.
That is the reality which is not very satisfactory about preserving culinary culture
of K Ho people in Dinh Trang Hoa commune.
3.1.2. The popularity of traditional dishes among K Ho families
The dinner of K Ho people reflects what dishes they prefer eating. By observing
their dinner, I see that the traditional dishes that I have mentioned above is not
frequently appear in their meal. They often prepare bacons, chicken and vegetables
which are available in the market nowadays like: cauliflower, mustard green and
so on. This means among K Ho families, traditional dishes are not popular any
more. They only prepare traditional dishes when they are asked by the elderly.
This is a sad reality of preserving K Ho culinary culture.
3.1.3. The popularity of traditional drink Tr nm
According to the content of the interview and the result of questionnaires, Tr
Nm is a traditional drink that is still very popular with K Ho people. Most of
men, even women in Dinh Trang Hoa commune love drinking Tr Nm for its
really good taste. The jar containing the wine is put at a fixed place (in the middle
of the house or the yard), so that as many people as possible can drink it. Pipes are
put into the jar prior to drinking and a basinful of pure water is placed beside it.
Tr Nm is a kind of drink which is indispensable in many customs of K Ho
people such as: in wedding, in Tet holiday, in thanks giving (after harvesting
coffee). Nowadays, every family all prepares Tr Nm for New Year. And, the
parties with Tr Nm always bring to the partiers warm and happy atmosphere.
Host and guests forget all their daily worries and enjoy to the utmost the pleasure
of tasting Tr Nm.
V.
