The traditional craft of making tapioca strips used mostly in desserts and as candy lends colors and sweetness to a town in the border province of Tay Ninh.
This photo series on bot khoai (tapioca strips) was done by Huynh Thanh Liem.
After steaming, tapioca sheets are spread on framed bamboo “stitchers” to be dried in the sun.
Many families in Hoa Thanh Town have stuck to the traditional vocation through generations and watching them make the strips with practiced ease is a worthwhile exercise.

Liem is an accountant who is also passionate about photography. He is a member of the Young Photographers Club of the Literature and Arts Association of Tay Ninh Province.
Tapioca sheets are placed to dry in the hot sun.
Sheets made with a tapioca flour are thick. “In addition to the traditional white color, we also steam batches of colored sheets, using yellow, red and green food coloring without preservatives to make the strips more eye-catching,” said Xuan, a longtime artisan in Hoa Thanh Town.
