‘Banh cuon’ among top ten meals around the world
Banh cuon (steamed rolled pancakes) has been named one of the top dishes from around the world by Australian daily online Traveller.
According to Traveller, banh cuon is a simple dish and less popular with international tourists compared to pho (noodle soup) and bun cha (vermicelli with grilled pork and fresh herbs). However, making the dish requires a lot of skill.
The famous US magazine, Travel and Leisure, also recommended that banh cuon is one among three must-try dishes on a food tour in Vietnam, besides pho and banh mi.
Banh cuon impressed diners with its special cooking style and the harmony of flavours from its ingredients. The dish can be found across Vietnam, but each region has variations in ingredients, cooking methods and tastes.
The most famed variation is said to be found in banh cuon’s cradle, Thanh Tri, an ancient suburb of Hanoi./.
