Brinkkty (real name Patarapron Brink Phisarnworakit) is an influential female YouTuber in the fashion industry in Thailand.
Not long ago, Brinkkty and 5 friends traveled to Vietnam and chose Hanoi as their destination. Here, the group visited some beautiful places and combined it with exploring attractive street food.
One of the Hanoi dishes that Brinkkty and his friends found most impressive was banh cuon. They enjoyed this dish at a local restaurant located on the slope of Hoe Nhai Street (Ba Dinh District).
“We accidentally found out about this banh cuon shop while walking to a nearby shopping store,” said the Thai female tourist.
At the restaurant, Brinkkty's group ordered 3 servings of rice rolls with meat filling, 1 serving of rice rolls with soft-boiled egg, and 1 more plate of Chinese sausage.

When the hot food was brought out, the members commented that the rice rolls looked attractive, were served with a delicious dipping sauce and herbs.
When tasting, everyone was amazed by the delicious taste of the capital's rice rolls, continuously exclaiming to show their delight.
Brinkkty also picked up a large piece, dipped it in fish sauce, and put it in her mouth to enjoy. "So delicious," the Thai female tourist nodded in agreement as she ate.
It is known that the banh cuon restaurant that Brinkkty and his group of friends visited has been open for more than 30 years. In 2023, the restaurant was honored in the list of Michelin-recommended restaurants in Hanoi.
Ms. Bui Thi Kim Lan - the restaurant representative said that she and her three sisters are currently taking charge of and maintaining the family's traditional food business.
“I am the third generation to make and sell banh cuon. The family recipe for this dish has been kept intact until now. In recent years, my family has also sold egg banh cuon to serve the diverse tastes of diners,” Ms. Lan shared.
According to Ms. Lan, to make delicious rice rolls, the restaurant selects rice flour from Cao Bang.
What is special is that the restaurant uses a decades-old stone mill to grind the flour instead of using an industrial mill like many other places. This method helps the flour to be ground smoother and more fragrant, and the steamed rice rolls are also thin, soft, and slightly chewy.
“Grinding flour with a stone mortar takes a lot of time and effort, but in return ensures the flour is as smooth as desired. This creates a soft, thin layer of rice paper that is not crumbly and has the flavor and unique characteristics of my family,” said Ms. Lan.
The restaurant serves rice rolls with fatty sausage and cinnamon sausage. The crispy fried onions are homemade and very fragrant.
In addition to the familiar minced meat and wood ear mushroom filling, the restaurant is also famous for its egg rolls. The eggs are steamed about 70% cooked, when eating, diners only need to roll lightly to see the yolk flow out, rich and fatty but not fishy.
