Vietnam trip nov 2023

Quite mild, not very sweet

This is one of the shops near the boarding lounge already, all the previous ones don't have this brand. But this is found at a lot of places too. The next shop this was sold at 8sgd...

You can put just a bit of cold water, it will still dissolve well. There's a very unique taste from the coconut milk combining w the coffee, in fact it doesn't really taste that strongly of coffee

Interesting but idk how authentic it is cos I didn't try proper coconut coffee there

Quite intense, very hard to chew so pls just suck on it

Very big and there's a slight tartness from the skin, and slightly salted. It was good initially but finish this fast

This was damn good, slightly sour and quite sweet, nice crunchy texture, surprisingly fruity

Incredibly sweet and flavourful, this is absolutely delicious and I regret not getting more than 2 packets. It's really my favourite thing to bring back from vietnam

10k for 5

Dumb buy, this is not Vietnamese at all. In fact all of the Candies seem to be imported, a lot of Korean and Japanese candies. Skip the candy stores for sure

They misunderstood me, I wanted well done but apparently well done beef is just cooked more? I think that's more miscom because the picture clearly shows a much darker colour for well done beef, not to mention the beef I got was alr basically cooked to well done

Soup is nice, I think there's star anise which really brings out the beefiness subtly at the end of each sip

The rare beef is tough. Rice noodles were avg. But braised beef shoulder was marvelously meaty

They have 4.5 stars on Google reviews, for good reason, but take note that's only relative to airport standards

Overall: temper expectations, there's no real reason to visit. We alr got the best items after pouring thru reviews, and it was still ok only.

Food:
In true Michelin style, this is deep fried and deconstructed.

So avoid, the dill and fish should be cooked tgt for flavour normally but this doesn't have that so it's really like 2 things

Periwinkle snail cake. Very mild flavour, honestly it tastes exactly like fishcake so there's really no point

Very mild and very refreshing. But nothing special at all, can skip because it's very filling from the generous peanuts
