Although usually placed on the same plate when served to guests, the creative recipe for each type of cake is different. For example, banh loc is made from tapioca flour, knead well, pick up a small ball, form a semicircle, and put the salted shrimp in it. After that, steam it until cooked, then serve with spicy chili fish sauce. As for banh nam is made from glutinous rice flour, sprinkled with crushed shrimp, and then wrapped in banana leaves or dong leaves. Mainly, banh beo is made from rice flour, finely ground with water, and then poured into small molds, waiting 6-7 minutes for the cake to cook. Then sprinkle with dried shrimp, onion fat, and dip with a cup of sweet and sour chili fish sauce.
