Banh Khot

Earlier in my blog, I wrote about a delicacy of this town with some pictures posted. Now I get to taste the real deal....



Breakfast, at a place that visitors to Vung Tau must go - 14, Nguyen Truong To Street

Greens again, with fish sauce and sliced lotus stem.

The actual dish, fried rice cake with shrimps

This is how it is prepared

This is how it's prepared. A mass gathering of ladies around a wood stove, flipping the caps one at a time.

The plate's full of oil, but somehow you dont really feel it with all those greens that goes with it.

And this is how it should be eaten

First, you fold the green in two, and add the condiments. Next, in goes the banh khot.

Then, you tuck the greens in neatly, and dip the whole thing in the fish sauce.

Lastly, open your mouth, and Aaaaarrrrrmmmmm............ Yum yum!
