BANH BO DUA NUONG: DA NANG’S DELECTABLE STREET DELIGHT

Banh Bo Dua Nuong, or coconut honeycomb cake, is a special cuisine originated in Da Nang. It is another delightful exploration of street cuisine that you can only find here.

What makes this cuisine unmissable?

Banh Bo Dua Nuong is a symphony of flavor, renowned for its thin, crispy outer and generous coconut filling. The structure of the cake includes two ‘lid-like’ parts pressed together. Just take one bite, and you will be treated to a delightful dance of sweetness and warmth, making it the ideal snack for a chilly evening.

Before delving into this delectable delight, there’s a charming ritual: gently tear the cake or separate its two parts to reveal the coconut filling and enjoy the burst of its flavor. The versatility of this treat is another facet worth exploring. Some locals savor it while still warm, relishing the crispy crunch outside combined with a soft interior. Others prefer it as it cools when the outer layer is transformed into a chewy and firm texture, offering a different yet equally satisfying experience.
