Chubby cake rolls, fish sauce mixed to your mouth will make you satisfied are the experiences that diners remember forever after eating pancakes here.
From a load of street vendors to a stall occupying a small corner in a crowded dining area in front of Pham Van Hai market, for more than 20 years, Ms. Sau’s pancake taste has remained unchanged.
Every day she sells a few hundred pieces, always has a fixed number of loyal customers. Pancakes molded in the Central style, small with adult hands spread out, filled with shrimp and beef, adding prices to help relieve boredom. The cake dough adds turmeric to make it yellow, deep-fried, fun to chew. The cake casting pans always make a funny sizzling sound. There are also good food khot cakes here, but the price is affordable and affordable for many people. Like many other food shops in other markets, Ms. Sau pancake stalls only have a few short plastic tables, placed under the umbrella for customers to sit and eat, so it is quite hot in the sun, and the rain is wet and uncomfortable. So on days when the weather in Saigon is uncomfortable and the restaurant is empty, until 22:00, you still have a few cakes to buy for dinner. However, at the end of the year, when it is cool, the cake here ends quite early, around 20 o’clock, she cleaned the shop. The rim of the cake is not as thin as the western pancake, but evenly thick from the inside out. Small size costs 6,000 VND / item, each person can eat about 4 pieces is just enough. There are also large cakes with the price of 20,000 VND / item for one person to eat. It is an easy dish that causes fatigue due to greasy fried foods, and a lot of starch, but thanks to being wrapped with all kinds of raw vegetables, the dish does not feel greasy. The plus point here is that a cup of fish sauce dilutes the taste, perfectly combined with the pancake, adding a little freshly ground chili to the standard for a cool Saigon dinner. You can order an iced tea or sugarcane beverage for cravings. Besides, this area also sells many other dishes such as rib porridge, grilled chicken, vermicelli, pho … for you to choose from.
