Apiwich Ektarawong, a well-known YouTuber from Thailand with a personal channel attracting nearly 500,000 followers, is passionate about traveling and has visited various countries such as South Korea, Japan, India, Italy, France, and the UK, with Vietnam being one of them.

Recently, Apiwich and his friend visited Ho Chi Minh City to explore the local culinary culture and taste its delicious foods. "I came to visit Ho Chi Minh City as it is a popular destination among Thai travelers," he stated.

Apiwich commented that street foods in Ho Chi Minh City suit his taste. Among them, he was particularly impressed by banh xeo, a Vietnamese savory pancake.

To try this dish, Apiwich and his companion headed to a banh xeo eatery located in a small alley on Dinh Cong Trang Street, near Tan Dinh Church. This dining spot is familiar to both locals and foreign visitors to Ho Chi Minh City.

The young visitor revealed that some friends who had previously traveled to Ho Chi Minh City recommended he experience the delicious banh xeo at this establishment.

At the eatery, Apiwich ordered a special banh xeo - the signature dish and best-seller there. Additionally, he also requested a side of cha gio (spring rolls) and goi cuon (fresh spring rolls).

While waiting, from the open kitchen area, Apiwich saw experienced cooks skillfully preparing the banh xeo pancakes.

When the steaming-hot banh xeo was served, the Thai YouTuber was pleasantly surprised by its large size, enough to satisfy 2-3 people.

In his observation, the banh xeo had a crispy golden outer layer that made a clear "crunchy" sound when touched.

Moreover, the generous filling consisting of pork, large shrimp, eggs, and mung beans added to the enjoyment of the dish.

The meal was accompanied by a sweet and sour dipping sauce, rice paper rolls, and various fresh herbs.
