Tay Dinh banh gio: also known as sun cake, is a famous Vinh Phuc specialty for a long time. This is an indispensable dish in traditional Tet holidays and some other holidays of the people of Tay Dinh - Vinh Phuc like banh chung. With long-standing accumulated experience, accompanied by the creativity of Tay Dinh villagers, they have created a specialty with bold flavors and unique features of Tay Dinh banh gio. The cake has a beautiful golden brown color. When eating, we can feel the aroma of rice and the chewiness of the cake, combined with sugar or molasses to create a characteristic sweet and cool taste.[4]
