The crispy pig skin, aromatic cha lua (Vietnamese pork sausage), and the spicy fish sauce make this dish irresistible. The bánh here is soft and tender, not dry, and even one serving can fill you up. With a very reasonable price of only 20,000 VND for a tray of 10 small bánh bèo bowls, you can indulge yourself until you're completely satisfied. To enhance the flavor, many bánh bèo stalls also serve side dishes like cha lua, pig skin, sweet fish sauce, and pickled carrots and papaya.
