It’s the classic Robin to Batman of local food; fish sauce has long been the unsung hero. Love it or hate it, fish sauce is the soul of Vietnamese cuisine. If you don’t find a tiny bowl of nuoc mam next to the local dish you are served, there’s a good chance that it has already been included in the food during cooking as a key component.
Made from rice flour, banh can and banh xeo are specialties in Southern and South-Central Viet Nam.
Visitors to Cam Mountain can see many eateries selling banh xeo (rice pancake filled with steamed shrimp, sliced pork and bean sprouts) on either side of a path from the foot to the top of the famous mountain in the Mekong Delta province of An Giang.
Banh xeo (pancakes), nem nuong (baked rolls), banh cong (cong cakes)... are the roll cuisines that foreign tourists highly recommended to try in Viet Nam.
