HUE PRESSED CAKE: SIMPLY TASTY

“Banh ep Hue,” also known as Hue pressed cake, is a beloved street food in Hue. Despite its modest size, it delivers immense satisfaction, leaving a lasting impression from the very first bite. Curious to learn more? Let’s discover this hidden culinary gem with us in the article below!

What makes Hue pressed cake unmissable?

If you wonder what “Hue pressed cake” is, its name explains it all. A Hue pressed cake is crafted by tightly pressing the mix of flour and filling between two hot iron molds over a charcoal stove for about 5 – 6 seconds. This crucial step determines the cake’s texture, ensuring a delightful chewiness inside and a crispy exterior, which then ultimately offers a savory experience.

To savor Hue pressed cake at its finest, pair it with laksa leaves, a tangy salad, and simmered chili fish sauce. These accompaniments will help enhance the savory blend of meat and egg with a balance of spice, saltiness, and sweetness. Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll find yourself yearning for more.

In order to cater to diverse tastes, apart from the meat and egg versions, locals have expanded their offerings with variations filled with shrimp, pate, and sausage. Additionally, you have the flexibility to select your preferred level of cake maturity to make the cake soft or crispy according to your taste.
