Bow Down to the Banh Beo

A Hue speciality is Banh Beo, a snack usually eaten in the late afternoon, between 4 and 5pm. Banh Beo is served as a trayful of delights - individual dishes of steamed rice flour dough with tiny dried shrimp, spices and pork crackling and served with a sweetened nuoc mam sauce.







Banh Nam is the same but oblong-shaped and wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed.



Banh Loc is made with manioc flour instead of rice flour, so the texture changes from being soft to chewy, it is a translucent parcel of spice, whole dried shrimp and pork wrapped in banana leaf, steamed and served with a stronger and spicier nuoc mam sauce.




Ram is basically rice flour dough both steamed and fried, bite-sized and combined for the contrast in textures, served with a spicy sauce.


If you are looking for a snack in the afternoon and you happen to be on the south side of the Perfume River, Take a stroll to Hang Me - found at 45 VO THI SAU. The lady here will explain how to eat each dish, it's basic but clean and friendly.

Usually it's a result of the fire communicated in the article I browsed. And after this article "Bow Down to the Banh Beo". I was actually excited enough to drop a leave a responsea response :-P I do have a few questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it be only me or do some of these remarks look like they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional social sites, I would like to keep up with you.
