Choosing and ordering food

When choosing bánh tét mật cật as a gift, ask the seller carefully what day the cake has just been wrapped, whether the filling is salty or sweet, and how to keep it cold. When enjoying, you just need to cut it into rings, serve it with pickles or palanquins, which will be very mouth-watering. If you have to travel far, you should only buy a sufficient amount to ensure that the cake does not spoil along the way.

What to know when ordering

The highlight that creates the name "honey cake cake" is the type of leaf used for wrapping. As for the filling, the plasticity of the sticky rice or the aroma of the leaves bears the unique imprint of each baker. Therefore, not every time you see a cake wrapped in green leaves, the taste will be the same everywhere.

Ask carefully if the filling contains meat, beans or allergenic ingredients.
Check the production date and expiration date of the cake.
Follow the instructions for refrigeration if you haven't eaten it right away.
Buy a moderate amount if the accommodation does not have a refrigerator for storage.
