Chosen by celebrity chef Martin Yan as part of the top three rustic dishes of the Western capital, these specialties enchant visitors with rich flavors, striking colors, and inspiring family heritage stories.",{"sections":26},[27,30,33,35,38,40,42],{"type":28,"content":29,"image":10},"paragraph","Vịt nấu chao Thành Giao and Bánh tét lá cẩm of Can Tho are the two rustic dishes praised by “Chef King” Martin Yan during his exploration of Vietnamese cuisine. While Vịt nấu chao offers deep, savory Mekong flavors, Bánh tét lá cẩm stands out with its enchanting purple hue from natural lá cẩm leaves. Both are proud icons of Tây Đô, appearing on ancestral altars every Tet season.",{"type":28,"content":31,"image":32},"Bánh tét lá cẩm was born from the creative idea of artisan Huỳnh Thị Trọng (Mrs. Sáu Trọng) in An Thới ward, Bình Thủy district. Starting from humble poverty, she and her mother sold cakes door-to-door to make a living. After more than 60 years of dedication, she transformed the traditional cake into a renowned specialty ordered by customers from Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, and even Hanoi.","",{"type":28,"content":34,"image":32},"The highlight of Bánh tét lá cẩm is its glossy purple color created by soaking glutinous rice in lá cẩm extract. The filling is far richer than ordinary bánh tét: dried shrimp, salted egg yolks, Chinese sausage, lean meat with fat, mung beans, and even banana or vegetarian options. All blend to release an irresistible aroma the moment the cake is sliced.",{"type":28,"content":36,"image":37},"The cake-making process demands meticulous care: selecting premium rice, harvesting fresh lá cẩm to extract color, soaking mung beans, and pressing coconut milk. The rice is stir-fried with the purple liquid and coconut milk until 30% cooked, wrapped in fresh banana leaves (no oil needed thanks to natural coconut), tied firmly with nylon string, and slowly boiled over firewood for 4–5 hours to achieve perfect chewiness and fragrance.","/images/destinations/vit-nau-chao-banh-tet-la-cam/banh-tet-la-cam-can-tho-mon-dac-san-thom-ngon-khong-the-bo-lo-02-1649234320.jpg",{"type":28,"content":39,"image":11},"When sliced, the shiny purple rice reveals fragrant meat, creamy salted egg yolk, and sweet mung bean filling. Each bite offers a chewy, perfectly balanced sweet-salty taste that delights even the most discerning palate. It is not just food but a meaningful souvenir to bring home for loved ones.",{"type":28,"content":41,"image":32},"Today, the Bánh tét lá cẩm cooperative run by Mrs. Sáu Trọng’s children produces 800 cakes daily, multiplying during Tet. Other renowned workshops like Tư Đẹp and Chín Cẩm also attract visitors. When traveling to Can Tho, be sure to buy a few rolls of bánh tét lá cẩm as gifts.",{"type":28,"content":43,"image":44},"Bánh tét lá cẩm is more than a specialty; it is deeply tied to Southern Tet traditions of ancestral offerings and family reunion. Paired with Vịt nấu chao Thành Giao, these two dishes are the very reason so many travelers find it hard to leave the poetic land of Can Tho.","/images/destinations/vit-nau-chao-banh-tet-la-cam/banh-tet-la-cam-can-tho-mon-dac-san-thom-ngon-khong-the-bo-lo-03-1649234322.jpg",[46,51],{"slug":47,"thumbnail":48,"title":49,"province":50},"nha-co-binh-thuy","/images/destinations/nha-co-binh-thuy/nha-co-binh-thuy.jpg","Binh Thuy Ancient House Can Tho: A Timeless Jewel of East-West Architectural Fusion","Cần Thơ",{"slug":52,"thumbnail":53,"title":54,"province":50},"cho-noi-cai-rang","/images/destinations/cho-noi-cai-rang/kinh-nghiem-du-lich-cho-noi-cai-rang-can-tho-day-du-chi-tiet-202203300259447266.jpg","Cai Rang Floating Market: A Vibrant Symphony of Mekong Delta Life",1773993542316]
