Luke Nguyen's Railway Vietnam
After decades of conflict Vietnam’s railway system was badly damaged and rebuilt post the Vietnam War. The Reunification Express railway line symbolises the coming together of the north and south of the country. In this 10-part series, Luke visits ten locations from the spectacular coastline of Hoi An to the majestic mountains of Sapa. In his own engaging style, Luke cooks dishes incorporating some rather unusual ingredients to challenge the most adventurous palate.
