Cao Bang Province, Vietnam
If it’s food that takes you to the Cao Bang Province, try local dishes such as banh cuon Cao Bang, light rice flour pancakes filled with pork, green onions and coriander and served with a hearty broth, roasted duck (vit quay) and the regional pho variety pho chua, also called ‘sour noodles’. If you are more of a sweet tooth or looking for a eatable souvenir, go for banh khao: sweet sticky rice flour cakes with fillings of roasted sesame seeds, mung beans or crushed peanuts.
