Pia Cakes in Soc Trang

In the 17 th century, Pia cakes were introduced to Soc Trang by the Chinese people who immigrated to the South of Vietnam. Over the years, the cakes have been made from the plentiful material resources to the taste of Vietnamese people and have become a specialty of Soc Trang Province.

Previously, the cakes were totally made by hand. However, in the early 19^th century Dang Thuan, a native from Vung Thom Village (present-day Phu Tam) Chau Thanh District, Soc Trang Province, was the first man to make and trade the cakes and he handed down the craft to his descendants.

Tan Hue Vien is one of the most famous enterprises making Pia cakes in Soc Trang.
