Banh Bo Thot Not (Palm Sugar Honeycomb Cake)

A soft, spongy dessert made with palm sugar and coconut milk, Banh Bo Thot Not is a sweet treat rooted in the culture of An Giang. It’s known for its honeycomb texture and golden color. The cake is a must-try for those with a sweet tooth.

Made from fermented rice flour, coconut milk, and fresh palm sugar (thot not), the cake is steamed until it rises into a fluffy, airy form.


Naturally sweet from palm sugar, with hints of caramel and coconut. Its bouncy, chewy texture is what makes it stand out.


Often sold in street markets or small family-run bakeries. It’s best eaten warm or lightly chilled with shredded coconut on top.
