Xoi Phong (Giant Fried Sticky Rice Ball)

Made from glutinous rice flour, the dough is deep-fried until it inflates into a golden, hollow ball. Crisp outside, chewy inside.

It’s slightly sweet and often served with shredded chicken, pork floss, or sugar-sesame mix. Kids and tourists love its unusual texture.

Xoi Phong is often sold at roadside stalls and local fairs. Watching it puff up is half the fun.
