On the occasion of Tet, I like Banh chung-Banh giay best. In fact, it is sticky rice molded tightly with meat or beans and wrapped in banana leaves. Banh chung (rectangular) and thick cake (round) symbolize the New Year and is very important in any public holiday. Preparations are very time-consuming, and can take days to cook. The story of the origin of banh chung, thick cakes related to Tet is often told to children while cooking all night.
