Also known as white rose dumplings, this dish is a local appetiser that literally looks like white rose petals presented delicately on a platter. Each dumpling is wrapped in steamed shrimp and includes a pork-filling and rice dough.

Banh Xeo

This is an all-time favourite snack in Vietnam, which is made out of rice flour and coconut milk along with a mouthwatering filling including vermicelli noodles, slices of chicken, beef, or pork, mushrooms, shrimps, onions, and beansprouts.
