Texture
The fried cake is crisp. The shrimp shell softens in the oil and stays crunchy enough to eat with the crust.
How to enjoy it
Wrap the fritter in lettuce, dip it in fish sauce, and drink it with a cold beer.
The shrimp in the cake now comes from other waterways.
Where to try it
West Lake, the lake the cakes are named for.
