Yes, I'm definitely more used to banh chung. Maybe I lacked enough trash cans growing up. Now I'm craving banh tet! Thx for sharing. :D Oh, how fun! Yes, I’m definitely more used to banh chung.

I learned how to make Banh Tet by myself with the aid of referencing recipes on how to make Banh Chung. Since I'm Caucasian and young, none of my Vietnamese friends or Laotian in-laws can believe I made it, funny huh...white-bread knows how to make this...hehe.. I fell in love with it the first time I tried a roll I bought in Chinatown, Boston, that was over 9 years ago. The fragrance of the cooked banana leaves over rice alone, never mind the fillings is still a savored experience. Thank you for your photos on your blog!

They've turned it into an informal quasi-enterprise. each year, friends and families will start calling to place orders a few weeks before tet. my mum and dad usually cap out at around 300 banh as they are sooo time-consuming and requires a HUGE amount of ingredients and materials, especially banana leaves. funny thing is i can't stand the stuff, the only way i will eat it is after frying, then i'll eat the rice and chuck away the fillings +) wow, those look almost identical to the banh tet my parents make each year.
