West Lake shrimp cake
I lived in Hanoi since childhood. I know a lot about Hanoi cuisine. There is a kind of cake that I would love
to eat, it is the West Lake shrimp cake at a restaurant on Thanh Nien Road.
West Lake is the largest natural lake in Hanoi, with an area of 500 hectares and circumference of 18km.
With such a large area, the lake created good conditions for the development of aquatic species,
including freshwater shrimp. West Lake shrimp cake is made with natural raw shrimp from the lake, so it
has its own special flavor and has become famous.
When I was learning at Chu Van An high school, every weekend, I, together with my best friends, always
travel on bicycle around the lake, and one of the places we stopped was this restaurant. Here we always
order shrimp cakes. Ingredients to make the cake are mostly rustic materials, including West Lake
shrimp, flour, turmeric powder, eggs and yellow yam. To make the cake, wheat flour is dough with egg,
shaped into a round flat cake. Shrimp and yellow sweet potatoes are placed on top of the cake, and then
they are fried in lard. The final product is a yellow, brittle, soft and sweet-smelling cake. Cakes are often
served with a salad made from lettuce and carrots, and sauce made from fish sauce mixed with sugar,
lemon, garlic and chilly.
We often choose a table that looks straight to West Lake to enjoy the cakes. The blending of flavors of
crisp tan pie, spicy sweet and sour sauce, along with the cool breeze of the West Lake and surrounding
friends, created a great experience to enjoy these cakes. If you have a chance to visit Hanoi, please do
not miss the opportunity to enjoy, because it is a dish associated with the ancient culture of Hanoi.
