How it differs from other banh xeo
- A paler crust. Many home kitchens in Quang Ngai leave out turmeric, so a light colour is normal.
- Fresh shrimp, pork and bean sprouts. Guests often mention lemongrass in the pork.
- Little oil and never heavy, cooked once rather than fried again.
- Crisp and soft versions exist, so tell the shop which you prefer.
- The dip is slightly sweet fish sauce with garlic and chilli. There is a mild one for children.

Common questions
How much is banh xeo here?
From the board in the shop: regular 11,000đ, mushroom 12,000đ, special 23,000đ each.
Why is the crust not bright yellow?
This is the Quang Ngai style. Many kitchens there leave out turmeric, so the crust is paler than the banh xeo you may know.
