Xôi - steamed sticky rice is a very traditional food that has lasted very long time ago when my country was still poor until today. It’s certain that versions of Xôi may vary through many generations from a package which is made of leaves with simple ingredients. There are two kinds of Xôi - one is savory (Xôi Mặn) and another one is sweet (Xôi Ngọt).

Above package of Xôi Mặn (savory steamed sticky rice) includes glutinous rice and other ingredients such as pâté, meat floss, fried onion, Vietnamese pork sausage, peanuts, spring onion with oil.

You might easily find wheelbarrows of Xôi everywhere on Vietnamese streets with a very cheap price.

Great pictures and content of this post @UyenHuynh , congrats!

The second picture who is showing a spoon of Xôi Mặn ready to be eaten by a Local Guide is very nice.

I like the way you took the pictures, overture of the camera with clear focus on the spoon and the background a little blurry. It’s a great picture!

Just a tiny thing you could add is a shared list of top places to find great Xoi on GMaps.

What do you think?

Otherwise, I like reading your posts about Vietnamese food and now… I’m super hungry!!! :yum::yum::yum:

Nice post @UyenHuynh !! I love food so I’m biased towards food posts! Yummy indeed! Love the formatting that you’ve done. The photos are nice and big and that’s great because there’s a lot to see in the photo! One silly question… how do you pronounce the name? I struggle with the letter “X” and how it gets pronounced in different languages!!

Keep up the great work and looking forward to more post from you!

I am a foodie, and love such food served in Vietnam and Thailand. Your photos are of top quality . (which camera did you use ?) …It will be very interesting to try both types of xoi. Waiting for my day to visit your country which has been in my bucket list.

@Dinakar1 Thanks so much :slight_smile: Actually, I just take those photos accidentally without any effects by photo app. I took it by my iPhone 8. Yup, hope that you would love to visit Vietnam in a near future that you may get surprised by our variety of food. ^^
