Vietnam

VietnamMade from tapioca and mung beans, and wrapped in a decorative green banana leaf, this dessert known as Banh Xu Xe is a traditional food served at weddings in Vietnam. Loosely translated as "conjugal cake," the cake symbolizes the stickiness of the marital connection between husband and wife. The golden tapioca filling represents the "golden heart" that beats within the bride and groom as they pledge their loyalty and faithfulness to each other.
