SEO Title<\/span>B\u00e1nh X\u00e8o in Saigon: The Sizzling Pancake You Have to Try<\/span><\/div>\n
Meta Description<\/span>Golden, crispy, filled with pork and shrimp \u2014 b\u00e1nh x\u00e8o is one of Saigon’s great communal eating experiences. Here’s what it is, how to eat it, and where to go.<\/span><\/div>\n

The name b\u00e1nh x\u00e8o translates roughly as “sizzle cake,” and the name tells you everything. When the rice-flour batter hits the hot pan, it sizzles loudly \u2014 a sound you’ll hear from half a block away at a good b\u00e1nh x\u00e8o stall \u2014 and flattens into a thin, golden crepe that becomes crispy at the edges while staying slightly tender in the centre.<\/p>\n
