Martin Yan said he loves Vietnamese people and cuisine very much. That is why he always prioritizes this country in all his plans and charity activities.
Every year, he comes to Vietnam 2-3 times to perform, teach cooking and organize charity activities.
However, for the past 5 years, due to the epidemic and some objective reasons, he has not been able to come to Vietnam.
In Vietnam, Martin Yan launched books, kitchen tool sets and spent time doing charity work in Ho Chi Minh City.
All profits from activities, Martin Yan donates to the Oriental Medicine Association and Duoc Su Pagoda (Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City).
