This pancake is a unique dish with a strong Chinese flavour, combining the sophistication of fresh ingredients and skillful, attractive preparation process. Unlike traditional Vietnamese cakes, Chinese steamed rolled pancakes have a thin, soft crust that is steamed but not easily torn, embracing the filling inside.

When eating, diners will feel the harmony between the softness of the cake and the rich flavour of the filling. The filling can be minced pork, char siu, fresh shrimp or a combination of seafood and vegetables that are meticulously prepared to preserve the natural flavour.

After being steamed, the cake is usually cut into bite-sized pieces and drizzled with a rich, delicious sauce.

The special thing about this dish is that the sauce is made from soy sauce, sesame oil and typical spices to create a rich, slightly sweet flavour without being too salty or greasy.

In Da Nang, people can enjoy this unique rice cake dish at K37/5 Hai Ho, Thanh Binh Ward, Hai Chau District. The restaurant has a diverse menu with steamed rolled pancakes with traditional fillings, beef, shrimp and char siu with prices from only VND 15,000 - VND 35,000 /portion.

The smooth white rice cake pieces, neatly arranged by the owner on a plate, covered with a layer of shiny brown sauce and the filling wrapped inside the cake will create an irresistible appeal.

Diners will feel the harmony of each ingredient, from the fragrant sticky rice cake layer to the flavourful filling and accompanying bok choy.

In addition, the restaurant also has other attractive ‘banh bao’ (dumplings) and wontons (a small piece of dough or pastry wrapped around fish, meat, or vegetables and cooked in oil, steam, or boiling water that is part of some Chinese dishes, especially soup).

These dishes are placed in traditional bamboo steamers, which both retain the heat and highlight the characteristics of the Chinese cuisine. Thanks to that, diners can not only enjoy the taste but also be attracted by the delicate and beautiful decoration.

The restaurant is open from 6:00 am - 10:00 am every day.
