Nhất Đẳng Phẩm Vị

Have you tried the cakes from historical dramas brought to life? Watching shows like 'The Story of Yanxi Palace', every time I see the cakes presented to the emperors and concubines, I crave them badly because they look incredibly appealing and I can only imagine how delicious they must taste. If you share this interest, let me introduce you to Nhất Đẳng Phẩm Vị, a small but mighty bakery. The standout is Liên Hoa Điểm, requiring skill in shaping each petal to bloom like a lotus flower upon frying. It's filled with coconut and salted egg yolk, a challenge for non-professionals. Bánh Trăng Dương Quý Phi is my ultimate favorite, with its multi-layered crust enveloping red bean and mochi filling, perfectly sized for enjoyment. For a twist on traditional mooncakes, try Bánh Trung Thu Cổ Thực's Lục Vị Tinh Tú, six flavors each with a unique color and taste, perfect with tea under the moon. Như Ý Điểm, a honey and cereal cake shaped like a pig, is a delight without the worry of gaining weight. The varieties of tea here, Chè Dưỡng Nhan, Chè Hột Gà, and Chè Dưỡng Phổi, are superb, with a light sweetness and freshness that enhances well-being. Bánh Quế Hoa has a delicate cinnamon fragrance, and the red date sunflower seeds are sweet-smelling and delicious, tempting you to finish a whole box leisurely. Here's the address for those interested in trying: 📍Nhất Phẩm Đẳng Vị - 295/14 Nguyễn Tri Phương, Ward 5, District 10, Saigon 🕒 10:00 - 22:00 (Closed on Sundays for a rest day)
