Banh Gio is one of the most amazing epicurean (here’s that word again) discoveries I’ve found in Hanoi, Vietnam. I’ve always been puzzled by the large group of people huddled around this middle aged woman in the Old Quarter and decided to just pull up a chair one day and do it as the locals do.
Banh Gio is basically glutenous rice with a filling of mung beans and pork wrapped in banana leafs into a pyramid shape.
However, that is not what makes it good. Banh Gio is served piping hot and the glutenous rice is so glutenous I’ll equate it to jelly.
It’s melt in your mouth goodness!
I was sitting there when the woman beside me gestured for me to pour some chilli sauce into my banh gio. This is a totally unbiased review since I was so full I wanted to puke. I’ve had too much to eat but the crowded stall just pulled me in to see what the locals eat.
You can opt for various side cuts (also wrapped inside banana leafs) in your banh gio. The texture and and taste it like nothing else! You can literally scoop the banh gio and slurp it down – that’s how soft the glutenous rice is.
Best enjoyed with…their local iced tea. Bet you thought I was gonna say something else. :p
Hmm.. looks like something similar with a kuih we have in malaysia.. like Bak Chang + pulut? ๐
HB, that is rice flour joong. In northern China some part have this type of joong but not in San Francisco. I have a cookbook with that recipe.
I thought that it was lemon tea!
looks a lot like bak zhang! (rice dumplings)
Mung bean and pork? Are you serious? Pork is only good with more pork.
dude, you are a smart chap. How do you create iPad Apps?
chrisblitz: Yeah, it looks a bit like that but the texture is totally different! It’s AMAZING! It’s like eating piping hot pudding, that’s how soft it is! ๐
Vickie: Interesting! Yeah, I think there would be some influences considering the proximity between Hanoi and China. ๐
Michelle Chin: It’s not, it’s the unsweetened tea that the locals drink in the Old Quarter. ๐
Hanoi people seem to drink more tea vs coffee when compared to the southern parts. ๐
Joshua: Yup! Bak chang is banh chung in Vietnam but it’s usually only available during their New Year. ๐
This is a totally different kind – piping hot and so soft it’s like pudding. The very soft kinda pudding that melts in your mouth. ๐
rocket: HAHA! I agree with you on the pork part. ๐
However, pork and mung bean tastes surprisingly good together.
iPad apps eh? I have no experience programming on that platform.
That’s lotus tea, if I am not wrong. Had lots of that when I was in HCMC.
mung bean = not meat = not tasty = bad
pork = nice
pork + more pork = VERY nice = good
more like LOTUS tea. . . .
more like LOTUS tea. . . .
more like LOTUS tea. . . .
Sharon: Lotus tea eh? Thanks for the clarification! It’s unsweetened though. ๐
rocket: That means pork + pork + pork + pork would be even better! ๐
Actually my favorite pork dish is braised pork belly or leg. Mmm….
foodcrazee: Lotus tea! Thanks for the clarification bro! ๐
The filling is pork with mushrooms.(Not the magic variety though)
don’t we just call it bak chang? lol
I’m back from hanoi and i did try Bun Cha…. its nice thou.. it seems very famous cuz my hotel manager also recommended me this shop
pork patty + bacon + smoked hock + pulled pork sauce = fking good meal
Oi, the CHAT calculator says I have to raise 6,000 a month, I have to sell my body to raise that sort of money. Now you got me totally stressed. Thanks mate.
Colin: Yeah and it also has mung beans in it surprisingly! ๐
KY: Nope, bak chang is a completely different thing – they call it banh chung and it’s made with glutenous rice too.
However, bahn gio (this one) is made with rice so glutenious you can’t even see the grains!
It’s like custard in texture. ๐
sim: Yeah, actually the place I was staying at also recommended that bun cha place – it’s where the locals go to eat, so I guess it’s big over there. ๐
rocket: HAHAHA! What parameters did you put in dude? Why is yours so high? ๐
Hot pudding would be like taufufah! Taufufah and pork is weird eh!

The bank charges around 12% interest rate. They bring down the interest rate a little bit as compared to what they would have charged otherwise. Most importantly, they are making a loan which they would not have made otherwise. What we have also seen is that once one large bank starts lending others follow suit. With the current MFI after they got the loan through a guarantee, four more banks approved loans shortly thereafter and four more are in the pipeline. So overall the impact is even bigger.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
