An illustration made accompanying an article exploring “Bánh Pía,” a traditional salted egg yolk cake from Southern Vietnam, often savored alongside a steaming cup of tea.
The article delves deeply into the cake’s origins, uncovering its ties with the Teochew community of the Mekong Delta River region. Hannah-the illustrator-tried a semi realistic rendering, along with soft lighting, to create a dreamy atmosphere of a full moon night, a perfect occasion to enjoy the cake.
