Banh Phu The or Banh Xu Xe is a traditional cake that is normally served
at Vietnamese weddings (Conjugal cake). On the engagement or wedding
day, the groom's family visit the bride's house and offer many presents
as a proposal. Beside Betel and Areca "trau cau", wine and tea, which
are the must-haves, husband & wife cake is also a very popular gift
choice because of its beautiful meanings. At weddings, the cakes are
wrapped in tiny square boxes made from coconut leaves. The upper part of
the box fits perfectly with the lower part, which symbolizes a perfect
couple match. The stickiness of the cake symbolizes the stickiness of
the marriage ties. The golden filling embodies the loyalty &
faithfullness of husband& wife, like a golden heart.
In normal
days the cakes are sold at many snack shops, and they are normally
wrapped in a less fancy form with plastic wrap, so more colors are added
to make them more attractive.
