Tet cake is a traditional cake during Tet for people in Central Vietnam, as important as the Chung cake for people in the North. However, Chuon Village's Tet cake is truly a famous brand. It can be said that in the Tet offerings of the people of Hue, Chuon Village Tet cake, made from fragrant Western glutinous rice, golden yellow green bean paste, and rich fatty pork, is an indispensable dish. If you have the opportunity to visit Hue during Tet, you can schedule a visit to Chuon Village to join in the lively and exciting atmosphere of making Tet cakes.

In addition to savory dishes, the people of Hue also pay great attention to the cakes, candied fruits, and sweets during Tet. Among them, ginger candy is an especially unique and must-have treat for Tet. The most famous is Kim Long ginger candy, meticulously prepared from selecting ingredients to processing, soaking in sugar, and then cooking into golden, sweet-spicy pieces of candy. Enjoying a cup of tea with Kim Long ginger candy in the cool spring weather of Hue is truly a delightful experience.

While in the North people often enjoy sour fermented pork or fermented rice rolls, in Hue, the favorite delicacy is Tre – a dish made from beef and pork belly, fried to a golden crisp, then finely sliced and mixed with galangal, chili, garlic, salt, sugar, and fermented rice powder. Wrapped in guava leaves and banana leaves, it undergoes fermentation. During Tet meals shared with family and friends, the enticing flavor of Hue Tre is an absolute must-have.

The Japanese Le village in Hue is famous for its uniquely distinct Bánh Chưng, as they prepare the rice carefully before wrapping it, unlike other places where the rice is soaked first.

You should give it a try and experience the unique taste of the Japanese Le Bánh Chưng yourself.
