| bánh căn, savoury crunchy mini pancakes, topped with a small egg or shrimp, served with fresh mint and lettuce |
Bánh căn is one of the best snack available in Da Nang. It is a small "fried" savoury pancake, similar to
bánh xèo. It is made of rice flour, lard and eggs and contain toppings like a quail egg or a shrimp (as shown in the picture). NOT to be mistaken with
bánh canh, a chewy udon-like noodle that is served in many different flavored broths (in Da Nang
bánh canh cá is very popular, with fish broth). When written, you can just spot the difference, but when spoken, it is all the same. They will tell you it is really pronounced differently but after many failed attempts, I decided to use pictures instead.
