If you have time to visit the port land in a day, you should try the crab cakes, Chinese cakes, Banh Beo, and snails.

The city of red phoenix flowers in recent years has continuously attracted visitors thanks to its unique cuisine. Let’s take a look at the snacks you cannot miss when coming to Hai Phong.

Crab cakes

If in Hanoi, diners can constantly encounter beef pho, but in port land that is crab cakes. Called the crab cakes, but such a bowl of rice cakes requires a lot of filling to create a standard dish. A full bowl of rice usually has red rice cakes, crab bricks, rolls of betel leaves, spring rolls, shrimp, fat tart, dried onion, water spinach, sometimes boiled pork.

Duck cake

Having the same name as many other types of banh beo in Central Vietnam, but Hai Phong banh beo is completely different. The banh beo here is quite similar to the banh gio, made from rice flour with the filling of fried onion, pork, and wood ear. The cake is poured into a banana leaf mold for steaming. After that, the onion was put on top.
