Banh tet
Banh Tet does not seem too strange to Vietnamese people, especially during the Lunar New Year. But at Chau Doc market, banh tet is sold even on weekdays, more specifically, the shape of the cake is also uniquely created into a novel mini version.

The main ingredient of the cake is sticky rice, which is sticky and fragrant. Because the cake is too small, the person who cooks the cake cannot make the filling like the usual banh tet. The cake is so tiny that it only has sticky rice on the outside, inside with a banana or green bean filling. Customers who come to buy at least are a bunch of girls with the price of 15,000 – 17,000 VND.($1=24,000 VND)

In addition to the giant bread in An Giang caused a storm on social networks for a while. At Chau Doc market, An Giang also has small “mini” versions of bread that attract the attention of anyone when they see it for the first time.

The bread is only as long as a knuckle, an adult hand can fit about 3-5 pieces. At the market, usually a bag of 10 pieces will be sold for about 15,000 VND. The bread is not too crispy but mostly soft, blended with the fragrant butter and the outer layer of sugar.

True to the taste of childhood buttermilk bread, the cake is not too sweet, but if you eat a lot, it will be easy to choke because the cake is a bit dry. A taste that is both strange and familiar is very rare in today’s bakeries. Therefore, this mini version of sweet butter bread is definitely one of the dishes that tourists should try when visiting Chau Doc Market.

The cake tray is made from Huyen powder, a specialty powder found only in An Giang, and nowhere else. It seems that the size of the cake is only smaller, but overall it is not much different from the big size. Pineapple green skin with yellow filling of green beans.
Enjoying the cake, we can see the toughness of the filter powder, because it is crispy and sweet. Indeed, we both admire the skillful hands of the baker while maintaining the unique and delicious taste of traditional banh xeo.
