Chung cake from Dam Village: A local delicacy with a nostalgic hometown flavor
Dam Village's Chung cake, Ha Nam is famous far and wide for its chewy, fragrant, and flavorful taste without being greasy. Join Inbound Vietnam to find out why!
Discovering the Traditional Chung Cake Village
Dam village in Liem Tuyen Commune, Ha Nam Province, is renowned for its long-standing tradition of making Chung cake. Almost everyone in the village, young or old, knows how to wrap a perfect Chung cake. With its far-reaching fame, Dam Village's Chung cake is a culinary pride of both the village and Ha Nam province.

Holding a Chung cake in your hand, you'll be amazed by its meticulous wrapping. Wrapped firmly, squarely, and evenly by hand, the Chung cake here is often chosen as a gift or for offerings.
The Highlight of Dam Village's Chung Cake
The Chung cake here boasts a unique flavor, a harmonious blend of fragrant glutinous rice, green beans, and savory pork, without being overly rich. This is considered a special attraction that only the people of Dam Village can create. Notably, the water used for boiling the Chung cake must be rainwater, and the pot must be made of tin for the Chung cake to taste its best when cooked.

Upon unwrapping, a vibrant green color greets you. The rich, fatty aroma of the green bean filling combined with the pork, along with a hint of pepper, allows eaters to savor the essence of nature. To enhance the rich flavor, you can enjoy it with pickled vegetables or fresh herbs.
Where to Buy Dam Village's Chung Cake?
To purchase authentic Chung cake wrapped in the traditional Dam Village style, visit the village directly at Dam Village, Bich Tri Hamlet, Liem Tuyen Commune, Phu Ly City. Additionally, you can find them at local specialty stores.

Chung cake from Dam Village is an ideal choice for those seeking traditional and familiar flavors.
