The dish has fried lolot leaf rolls made from mushrooms, minced vegetarian ribs, roasted peanuts... When eating, roll with cucumber, pineapple, green star fruit, and unripe banana in rice paper and dip in sweet and sour fish sauce, which is very stimulating to the taste buds.

He worked while listening to his companion's instructions from afar to get enough ingredients. The American guy couldn't even identify the betel leaves and had to "ask for help" from MC Kiwi Kim Quy - owner of the vegetarian restaurant Heli for instructions on how to roll the rolls.
