Texture

Du khách on 15 Mar 2023 calls the shell crisp and palm-sized. The provincial tourism portal calls the cake fairly large, with a crisp shell, and says it resembles a southern bánh xèo and a northern bánh gối without glass noodles.

How to enjoy it

Eat it hot, with the sauce. Du khách on 15 Mar 2023 says the batter is milled rice, sometimes with a little corn flour, egg, or turmeric, and the filling is seasoned ground pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts. The sauce is ground pork, tomato, pineapple, and peanut.

The provincial tourism portal adds cucumber, starfruit, fig, unripe banana, and a bowl of shrimp ruốc, and says some cooks put a little bánh quy and roasted peanut in the sauce. Du khách on 29 May 2024, crediting VCT News, likens the shape to northern bánh gối and names fresh herbs. All of those lines stay.

The cake is usually sold in the afternoon and the evening.
