Leo Noodle
 
Pía Pastry (Bánh Bía) was from Chinese, but it had not been popular until Sóc Trăng distributed it around Vietnam. Pía Pastry is similar with Moon Cake; however the cookers put the yolk and durian inside the cake. On the surface of the cake, the producers put the red mark of the producer’s address and name. If you live the Moon cake and cannot wait to the Moon Middle festival, you can buy Pía cake instead. Another popular food is Lèo noodles. This noodle is making by combining cultural cooking of three countries which are Khmer, Vietnam and China. So enjoying Lèo noodles is the best way to know three cultural cooking of these countries. The noodle is typical made by Vietnamese methods, the ingredients are mostly from Khmer and the broth is followed by Chinese’s way. If you have chance, come and enjoy this special dish.
