Bánh ram ít 

 A fried sticky rice cake and a soft, steamed rice cake are layered on each other into a small mound. The rice is the star of the show, but a few shreds of fresh and fried shrimp, shallots, and crispy pork skin make the finishing touches.

How to choose Vietnamese restaurants:

🔹Check the menu, if there is just one or maximum three dishes available, rarely it will disappoint your palate!

🔹GO WHERE LOCAL GO:  if you don't know how to eat something, ask;  they will be happy to share their meals with tourists!

🔹Most of the time, the best meal is not in a fancy or chic restaurant, however, hygiene conditions may be questionable trust your instinct!
