This legendary rice cake is a deeply ingrained culinary and cultural practice, where families and communities bond during festivals like Tết (New Year Festival) and in their daily lives. Let’s unpack the cakes, savor the traditional Vietnamese flavors, and engage in a conversation about this tropical country. Dinner is provided.
