We’ll head over to District 3 to try Chuối Nếp Nướng—a humble yet spectacular street delicacy proudly ranked among the world’s top 10 street foods. This dish consists of ripe, sweet bananas wrapped in a layer of sticky rice, grilled over charcoal until the outside is perfectly crispy. It is then smothered in a rich, creamy, and slightly savory coconut milk sauce, topped with tapioca pearls and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
