A day trip to "Western Capital" - Tây Đô

I love market! Traditional market! Or we say "Chợ" in Vietnamese.
Wherever I go, I always try to visit the market. Either in Bali, Phuket or Melbourne.

I feel that's the best place to learn people's living style, eating habit!
In the market I love to check what they sell, how they display the merchandise, how people bargain, shout, communicate with each others. Very joyful picture!

Last week I really want to go back to Cần Thơ, to visit the market there.
Not floating market.
Just ordinary market in town. And to get what I saw last year here but failed to try it.
Bánh tét from Cần Thơ!

One of the most traditional glutinous rice cakes for our Lunar New Year celebration!
Different from other areas, bánh tét in Cần Thơ is unique with their color combination! 
The two best things: color and taste! 
Rice in magenta plant leaf color. Yellow green mung bean. 
Orange from salted duck egg and light pink from pork meat!  
But today not about this cake! Not about what's in the market!
It will be another interesting post!
Today I just want to share what we tried in our journey to Western capital - Tây Đô.
Another name of Cần Thơ!
