Banh beo, nam, loc

  9/17/2010


First off, most food shops sell these 3 kinds of "banh" together. In the central region, the name "banh" is applied to many kinds of food made from fine powder except for noodles. Before got boiled in a big pot, Banh nam and banh bot loc is wrapped in banana leaves, while banh beo is poured and boiled in small bowls. These 3 are served with 2 different bowls of fish sauce: one is more salty than the other. Be sure to use the more salty one for banh nam and bot loc, and the other for banh beo. Banh beo varies in shape and size from shop to shop.

You might also find these 3 'banh's in the North or South, but they are nowhere to be compared to those in the central, because obviously here is where they originated from.
