Bánh chưng Event (01/19 - 01/21)

Banh Chung is the most stable food in Vietnamese during the lunar new year period. Banh Chung is made with minced pork, sticky rice, mung bean (green bean) and other seasonings from green onions to black pepper etc.

 

The preparation of the delicacy can take up to 14 hours, and every family has their unique seasonings and flavors they prepare. In the general, we would wrap the ingredients in the square mold with banana leaves and steam for hours until fully cook thoroughly. 

 

The outer layer of the sticky rice would turn green from the color of the banana leaf and inherit the amazing aroma of the banana leaf and inner layer of the sticky rice would be fill with the savory seasoning and flavor from the minced pork.

 

We will serve complimentary Banh Chung to every guest who purchase a money god mochi donut from (01/19 - 01/21) Supply limited daily. First come first served.
