| bánh xèo, ready to get wrapped together with greens, herbs, pickles and dipped in peanut-liver sauce |
One of the most delicious and best examples of a typical Vietnamese dish: bánh xèo.
It has the 5 must-have Vietnamese flavours (sweet, sour, salty, spicy & bitter) with an abundance in different textures; the crunchy pancake, the salty & juicy pork, fragrant herbs, pickled veggies, the bitterness of the unripe banana, crispy lettuce, rich and creamy peanut sauce (or a refreshing tangy one).. need I say more?
And another great thing, like many VN dishes, you devour it with your bare hands! As a wise friend once said "you taste more when eating with your bare hands, as you'll be using one more of your sense". Therefore, using cutlery would be foolish; like watching a movie in the cinema with sunglasses on.
