Hai's family, addressing at Le Binh ward, Cai Rang District, Can Tho, has been making rice noodles in the traditional way for about 45 years. A few years ago, his family, and some locals as well, tried to develop a strange new version of rice noodle, a mixed culture one, given an unpopular name: Hu Tieu pizza (rice noodle pizza).

Hu Tieu pizza is made by deep-frying a traditional noodle cake shaped like a pizza in a wok until it turns golden brown and crunchy. Finished hu tieu pizza is commonly served with pork floss, coriander, and some roasted peanuts.

Although called "pizza", but fried noodles have a completely different taste from Western pizza. It is crunchy, fatty, and has its own Southwest's typical flavor.
Hai's family continues to sell their traditional noodles apart from hu tieu pizza.
