6.6Saigon Xôi Bắp LadySitting on her small stool at the base of a stairwell at 24 Nguyễn Hữu Cầu street, the Saigon Xôi Bắp Lady has been offering her sweet and healthy treat here for the past 32 years! Chị Ut (“older-sister” Ut) relaxes behind a large bamboo basket holding a mountain of xôi (sticky rice). Beside the sticky rice mountain are two piles of grain “add-ons” – one of bắp (steamed corn kernels) and one of grated đậu xanh (mung bean.) Saigon Xôi Bắp Lady scoops a pile of sticky rice into a small banana leaf, adds the grain of your choice, sprinkles it with some crispy-fried shallots, and a bit of sugar (for that afternoon sugar boost), and folds it all into a small origami taste treat. Motorbikes drivers continuously pull-up, point at her bamboo basket, toss a few bills to Chị Ut, grab their sticky treasurer, then speed away. You can swing by on your motorbike or take just a short stroll here from the center of Chợ Tân Định (Tân Định market) on Hai Bà Trung street. Enjoy this unique sweetened sticky rice snack for 10,000 – 15,000 vnd (.45 – .67 cents), depending upon the combo of corn and/or mung bean that you choose to add to your banana-leaf-wrapped taste treat. Hai couldn’t stop talking all day about our tasty snack … and I’m looking forward to heading back tomorrow for another yummy afternoon treat. On the street 1:00 – 5:00 pm each day ...Xem thêm
