Hanoians have many dishes to play, but hot cakes still occupy a special place that cannot be replaced.
In the olden days, Banh Dieu was actually a dish instead of rice (made with rice flour), usually without food or seasoning, but only eaten without or dipped with fish sauce. At that time, castor cake was only for poor families, eating through meals to make sure they had enough rice because of the lack of rice. However, through those difficult days, this flexible cake has been improved to become one of the wonderful gifts of childhood.
