1. Hong Kong Egg Tart

When mentioning Chinese cuisine that once caused a sensation among Saigon's youth, the iconic Hong Kong egg tart cannot be overlooked. This pastry has a crust made from wheat flour, rolled evenly with a rolling pin, cut into small round pieces for the mold. After molding, the crust will rest for about 3-5 minutes before pouring in the egg filling.

The vibrant yellow color of the tart is visually appealing, and the soft, fragrant, non-fishy-smelling filling makes it addictive. Anyone who tries this pastry will be hooked.

Cantonese Steamed Rolls addict diners with a taste distinct from Vietnamese steamed rolls. Enjoy this dish with savory hoisin sauce and a variety of delicious toppings like shredded pork, beef, shrimp, etc. The hot, flavorful rolls paired with the aromatic dipping sauce will make you fall in love and crave for more.
