One Spice at a Time
That Lunar New Year, I saw my mother quietly standing in a long line at the crowded market, holding jars of fish sauce, pepper, pieces of ginger and a gift basket including the above ingredients to prepare our family's year-end feast. In her eyes, I saw a desire for a proper, wholehearted meal—one that honored tradition and warmth—far greater than the physical exhaustion she felt.
That image stayed with me, and it inspired me to launch a Shopee store called Vị Xuân (“The Flavor of Spring”), offering curated bundles of traditional Vietnamese condiments: pure fish sauce, roasted lime salt, wild pepper, dried ginger—all carefully selected to promote health and help families save time preparing for Tet.
I wanted Tet meals to carry the authentic taste of the past, but with less burden and more peace of mind. I came to understand that care isn’t only about medicine—it can begin with something as simple as a thoughtful meal and the attention to the health of each customer. Vị Xuân was not just an online store; it was a gentle reminder that love often starts with a fragrant spice jar in a small kitchen at the close of the year.
