Yen Bai is a highland province inhabited by many ethnic minorities. Ethnic diversity has contributed to creating a colorful culture for this place. Talking about diversity, cuisine is one of the most colorful “party”. For example, it is possible to mention the bird cake (cuckoo cuckoo) of the Dao people.
This strangely named cake comes from an accumulation of motherly love. People tell each other that Dao mothers go to the fields, but their hearts still ache for their little children at home. Then, in the afternoons, when they have free time, they arrange the pandan leaves in the forest into a cake . At home, they add flour to make beautiful cakes.
Today, bird cake is still wrapped with forest pandan leaves, but the cake is more elaborately prepared.
People mix more green beans or dye the rice with different types of leaves so that each cake is a different eye-catching. In fact, in addition to shaping the owl bird, people can knit into the shape of other things at will, but perhaps because of the old meaning, the image of the owl is still the most popular.
During the cake wrapping sessions, the Dao women would gather together in a corner of the house and then skillfully twist it so that it looks the most like a owl. But also make sure that the cake is small and beautiful, not too big and not too long. The small cake is neatly folded and cooked in a pot full of water for about 1 hour, it is already enjoyed by the body.
Giving each other a woof cake is like giving each other delicious food when hungry. And with these little babies, it is also the love of their mothers for them. This rustic dish is indispensable in the holidays. Absence of the woof cake seems to make the taste of the mountains and forests lose a few parts already.
