Go to Can Tho to eat 3 meter pancakes made by 14 chefs at the Southern Cake Festival

On April 2, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Can Tho city held a press conference to inform about the 11th Southern Traditional Cake Festival which will be held at Binh Thuy District Square from April 17 to 21.

According to the organizers, the highlight of this festival is the first time performing and serving free record-breaking banh xeo with a diameter of 3m.

The 2m diameter pancake appeared at the Cai Rang Floating Market Cultural Tourism Festival in 2017.

Ms. Dao Thi Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Can Tho, said that 14 chefs will work together to make this giant pancake (expected on April 18) and then divide it into free portions for festival attendees.

Artist Hong Nhung, the main person in charge of the performance of pouring a giant banh xeo, added that there will be difficulties while performing it, but she will try to complete a standard banh xeo of the Western region.

According to her, the standard Western-style banh xeo will be crispy at the edges, and the middle will have a lot of flour, ensuring you are "full" when eating.

Leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism informed about the 11th Southern Traditional Cake Festival.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Can Tho city, added that this year's festival has a scale of about 250 display booths, with about 100 types of traditional cakes and many other attractive regional specialties and dishes.

In addition to displaying and demonstrating the artisans' cake making methods, the 2024 Southern Traditional Cake Festival also has a space to introduce the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Thuan Hung rice paper making (Thot Not district, Can Tho city).
