Where to find it?
A short walk north of Hàng Da Market and Hàng Điếu street will bring you to Bánh Cuốn Thanh Vân,just look for the bánh cuốn station—two large covered steaming pots—outfront along the sidewalk. Just take a look! The practiced hands keepthe bánh cuốn rolling out with experiences, alternating seamlesslybetween spreading the thin batter on the linen base of one steamer,then at right time, turning to the other to peel the delicately steamedpancake off the linen base with a bamboo stick. By the time the batteris spread on its newly emptied linen base, the pancake in the firststeamer is ready and waiting. With only 6 tables nestled inside thesmall open storefront, the pace never slows. Serving 7AM-1PM and5PM-11PM.
