Bánh xèo, Nem cuốn

Bánh xèo, Nem cuốn is a local restaurant in Hanoi's Old Quarter that serves crispy bánh xèo. The thin batter, filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, is cooked in oil and eaten with rice paper, herbs, and sauce. Each bánh xèo is small, so an adult man eats about two, and it is fried to order and eaten hot. The cooking area is visible to customers, and the floor and tables are loosely kept.
