(ĐN)- A banh chung (square cake made of glutinous rice with green bean and pork) and banh day (round glutinous rice cake) making competition was held Tran Bien Temple of Literature on April 24.
Participants included Buu Long Development and Investment Co., Tran Bien Temple of Literature Centre, Regiment 935, Bien Hoa Building Materials Production and Construction J.S Company
Each team prepared glutinous rice, green beans, pork and wrapping leaves to make square cakes. As a result, Regiment 935 won the contest and got the chance to offer their traditional cakes to the Hung Kings at the altar.
Making the two traditional cakes is among several annual cultural activities during the Hung Kings Temple Festival. Round and square cakes represent sky and earth and are presented to the Hung Kings.
The competition was to remind the Vietnamese people of their roots and to honour the King who taught people how to cultivate water rice and to develop agriculture, said a member of the organizing board.
