One a year, sales of famous restaurant’s traditional cakes cause traffic jams at Hanoi crossroads

During the Cold Foods Festival, this year on April 14, Vietnamese families usually prepare traditional floating cakes, ‘banh troi’ (made of bits of brown sugar wrapped in glutinous rice paste and cooked by scalding in boiling water) and ‘banh chay’ (glutinous rice balls with mung beans filling, served in fragrant sweet soup) to offer to their ancestors.
