Taste Atlas describes banh da lon as a traditional Vietnamese dessert often served during holidays, family reunions, and celebrations. Despite its name, the cake contains no pork; its name comes from its thin, chewy, and glossy layers that resemble pig skin.

The main ingredients for banh da lon include mung bean paste, tapioca flour, rice flour, and coconut milk.

Typically, the cake features a pale-yellow layer made from mung beans and a green layer infused with pandan leaves, while other layers can be customized to suit regional preferences or personal taste. After steaming and cooling, the cake is usually cut into diamond-shaped pieces.
