6. Eastern Region Mini Pancakes
Call NowIn Vung Tau, mini pancakes (Bánh Khọt) are a famous local dish. But for tourists unfamiliar with the area, it can be tough to choose a good spot from dozens of options. To help with that, I highly recommend Eastern Region Mini Pancakes for an unforgettable experience that won't break the bank. This place is less crowded than the popular Bánh Khọt Gốc Vú Sữa, but the taste is just as good—crispy, fresh, and not greasy at all. What really stood out to me was the generous serving of fresh greens that comes with the meal. Even if you’re a big fan of raw vegetables, you’ll likely have leftovers. Plus, unlike other places, they don’t charge extra for more greens if you run out! The fish sauce is delicious, and they even provide a plate full of shredded papaya. At first glance, you might think it’s not enough, but trust me, you’ll be full after just a few bites, and the price is perfect for students. Don’t miss out on Eastern Region Mini Pancakes next time you're in Vung Tau!
