Crispy Pancake - Banh Xeo
The Banh Xeo offers a delightful sensory experience. Made from rice flour, coconut milk, and a touch of turmeric. This golden, crispy pancake crackles with every bite. Inside, it’s packed with crunchy bean shoots, creating a perfect contrast to the delicate pancake exterior. Pair it with the tangy dipping sauce on the side, and you have a dish that’s light, fresh, and bursting with flavour. The combination of crispiness and freshness makes it a true standout for anyone seeking a taste of Vietnam's vibrant street food scene.

Vietnamese Pork Hock
Looking for something a little more indulgent? The Vietnamese Pork Hock is the answer. This dish is the ultimate combination of tender, fall-apart pork and perfectly crisp skin. Slow-cooked to perfection, the pork hock practically melts in your mouth while delivering that irresistible crunch from the crispy skin. Accompanied by fragrant steamed rice, a fresh salad, and a house-made dipping sauce that’s both savoury and sweet, this dish is comfort food with a Vietnamese twist. It’s hearty, satisfying, and packed with flavour—a true celebration of traditional home cooking.

At Flavours of Vietnam, these dishes offer more than just a meal—they’re an invitation to experience the authentic tastes and vibrant culture of Vietnam, right in the heart of Mackay.
