re: Cheap street food of Vietnam (lots of pics)

Banh Can. Originated in Nha Trang, these are eaten mostly as breakfast food item. They're are made from rice batter. They are crispy on one side and fluffy on the other side. It's similar to eating a small, light pancake.







These are made with quail eggs




Finished product. I think this plate is 70 cents.







You'd dip them in a bowl containing sautéed green onions and home made fish sauce (chili, garlic, lime)




This one has chicken yolk.




With squid and shredded green mango.







With local caught shrimp.






The squid and shrimp plates are a bit more expensive at $1.30 a plate. These are really good. If you have a chance to eat them, ask them to be made extra crispy.
