Vietnamese pancake (“Banh Xeo” in Vietnamese)

Pancake is a cake made from flour, the outside is yellow from the color of turmeric called the cake skin, and the inside is filled with shrimp, meat, bean sprouts, cassava, and chives. You can eat it with or without rice paper. We also often wrap these pancakes and vegetables in rice paper and dip it in the dipping sauce.

This dish is also very famous in the West of Vietnam. The difference between Western pancakes and Central pancakes is that Western pancakes are bigger, the skin is soft, and the inside is soft, and the closer to the edge, the crispier it is.

The Chinese in Cho Lon developed the distinctive duck noodle dish as part of their living and cultural exchange with the Vietnamese people.

Once you give it a try, you'll see why Saigon people love this meal that much.

Khau Nhuc steamed sticky rice.

The dish has a strange name - sticky rice with humiliation is one of the famous specialties in Lang Son province, and is also a favorite dish of the Chinese regional culinary association in Ho Chi Minh City.
The sticky rice dish is impressive because the filling is a large piece of meat that is placed on top, occupying the white sticky rice displayed below. At first glance, the humiliation stage is easily mistaken for braised meat, but the taste and processing are completely different.
