Poetry Thursday: Ho Xuan Huong

The Cake that Drifts in Water

by Ho Xuan Huong

My body is both white and round.
In water I may sink or swim.
The hand the kneads me may be rough,
But I still shall keep my true-red heart.

[more on Bánh Trôi Tàu via vietnamese god]

that's one type of food ethnicity I have not tried yet, Vietnamese.

Could a cake be that light?
mmm...it must be fluffy.
