In Hanoi or Saigon as well as many cities in the country, for a long time, people rarely see the image of banana leaves. Because, why do people plant bananas in this time when every inch of land is an inch of gold. Therefore, people living in urban areas, especially those who had a childhood in the countryside, sometimes suddenly remember... the rustic banana leaf and also to preserve the lovely rustic image.
The delicious savory sticky rice dish is created from the combined flavor of the stickiness of sticky rice mixed with the fatty taste of scallion oil and the aroma of fried onions, including the flavor of pork roll, Chinese sausage, ham, shrimp, and peanuts. When enjoying the corn sticky rice dish, diners will discover each round, sweet corn kernel cooked with sticky rice. It also comes with green beans, fried onions, and sweet white sugar.
Both of these dishes are delicious, however, the taste is not so outstanding compared to the salty sticky rice or sweet corn sticky rice stalls on the sidewalk every morning. But the banana leaf wrapping the outside is the core point that makes the dish more soulful than many other places. It gives diners a feeling of appreciating something very rustic, very rural but also extremely beautiful. Or looking from another angle, the banana leaf retains old values that are in danger of disappearing from urban life in the industrialization period.
