Bánh Khoái, often called the Hue Pancake, is a must-try specialty that captures the refined flavors and imperial legacy of Vietnam’s former royal capital.
The word khoái means “delight” or “joy,” and the dish lives up to its name with every bite. At Azerai La Residence, Hue, guests are treated to an elevated version of this iconic street food. The golden, crispy rice-flour pancake is pan-fried to perfection and generously filled with fresh shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts.
Served with a rich peanut dipping sauce made from ground peanuts, pork liver, sesame, and fermented soy, the dish offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. This refined take on a traditional favorite reflects Hue’s culinary elegance and continues to delight visitors seeking authentic local cuisine.
