Although they had to wait for nearly an hour during rush hour, customers still patiently lined up from early morning to buy a delicious baked cake.
Uncle Tran grilled cake is one of the street foods that causes curiosity and attracts a large number of diners in the Capital in recent days.
The cakes are completely handmade, from preparing ingredients, shaping to putting them in the oven, all retain the traditional manual method.
According to shares from the restaurant, this type of cake originated from Zhejiang province (China), with a history of more than 600 years, once a rustic dish associated with the daily life of local people.
Over time, the processing method has almost not changed, still using charcoal stoves to create a unique flavor that no modern method can replace.
On average, the restaurant sells more than 600 cakes per day. Because all are handmade on the spot, customers often have to wait about 5-7 minutes to get a hot cake out of the oven.
During peak hours, customers have to wait for nearly 1 hour to buy goods.
The special attraction of the cake is the crispy crust, combined with a hot and rich filling, creating a difference compared to many other types of baked cakes.
The restaurant's menu is quite diverse with many different types of fillings, but the most prominent is still grilled pork with two levels of spiciness, suitable for the taste of many customer segments.
The price of each one ranges from 35,000 VND, which is considered reasonable compared to the quality and experience it brings.

The restaurant is open from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day, but is often crowded with customers, especially during peak hours.
Ms. Julian - an Australian tourist shared: "Although waiting for customers for almost an hour, when holding a hot cake, it's really delicious to eat. This is a very memorable experience.
