The most delicious and famous turmeric cakes come from Phu Coc village, Binh Dinh commune, and the southern communes of Tien Hai district in the past. At each market day, this traditional cake attracts a large number of diners and has become an indispensable part of the local culinary culture.

The main ingredients of turmeric cake are rice and fresh turmeric, which give the cake its golden color and fragrant aroma, combined with a delicious filling. The filling is made from pork cracklings, meat, dried onions, and pepper, seasoned with a little fish sauce and lard. The cake is shaped like a rhombus or round depending on the maker and is wrapped in fresh green galangal leaves, creating a unique flavor. When cooked, turmeric cake resembles a golden silkworm cocoon. This simple yet visually appealing dish stimulates digestion thanks to the properties of turmeric, and is also beneficial for skin beauty and postpartum women.

The best way to enjoy turmeric cake is while it's still hot, as it retains its softness and the fragrant aroma of turmeric, making it less cloying. The cake has a subtle turmeric aroma blended with the chewy texture of rice, and the rich, fatty flavor of meat, lard, and dried onions.
The turmeric cake encapsulates the very flavors of the countryside. Even after finishing the cake, the lingering taste of home remains on the tongue, unforgettable even after just one bite.
