Visiting the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho in Vietnam travel, tourists have the chance to shop on floating markets or drift along canals and bicycle around orchards, and Thuan Hung paper cake craft village is a good place that should not be missed to visit.
Located on the road to Thot Not District on National Road 91 traveling for about 10 kilometers you will discover that Tan Loi 3, Tan Phu and Tan Thanh hamlets in Thuan Hung Commune, Thot Not District have more than 300 paper cake producers. A Paper cake is a kind of traditional cake which people use to wrap foods.
Cycling to the Thuan Hung craft village in the morning, tourists who travel to Vietnam have a chance to witness the peaceful and beautiful scenery with thousands of paper cakes dried under sunlight along the river’s banks and dozens of smoking stoves in houses.
The cake looks easy to make but it requires many phases. Firstly, you husk rice into flour, stir it with water then steam it in a boiled water pot. The pot is covered by a fabric layer on the top and put in a clay stove.
After steamed, the cakes will be dried on two-meter-long trellis mats made of coconut leaves, with two people often needed to perform this task.
Coming to Thuan Hung craft village, visitors in Vietnam travel will be invited to enjoy freshly-made cakes with soy sauce mixed with chili and fresh cucumber by local people. Cakes come in many flavors including salty, soft, sprinkled with black sesame and coconut.
The craft village has existed for half a century and for VND20,000 only, you can buy 100 cakes as a meaningful gift to your relatives or your friends when you come back home.
