Vietnamese coffee
Vietnamese coffee is famous for its rich flavor. Many people buy instant coffee, coffee beans, and even drip coffee makers. The prices are very affordable, and there are many brands available in supermarkets, making it a must-buy souvenir from Vietnam! Popular brands include Trung Nguyên Coffee and HAN Coffee.
Coconut sugar
Vietnam is a major producer of coconuts, and local coconut sugar sells naturally well. The square and compact candy has a strong coconut flavor, and some even have the texture of coconut meat! I highly recommend buying the coconut sugar produced by hồng phúc.
Gold Dragon Green Bean Cake
Vietnamese mung bean cake has a soft and smooth texture, with a slightly sweet taste. It's perfect for enjoying with tea or coffee. As a gift, it comes in a box with many pieces, making it easy to share. It's usually available at supermarkets. I recommend the NGUYÊN HƯƠNG brand.
Cashews in shell
Cashews in Vietnam are special. Besides the common cashews, "shelled cashews" are also very popular. The slightly bitter shelled cashews are usually seasoned with flavors like honey, spicy, or salt-baked, and can be found in supermarkets or traditional markets at affordable prices!
Vifon Rice Noodle Instant Noodles
After trying authentic pho in Vietnam, I highly recommend bringing back some pho instant noodles. There are various flavors, including beef, chicken, and seafood. You can also add your own ingredients to cook them, making it convenient and delicious! The most recommended brand is Vifon.
Spring roll wrapper
Many people in Vietnam, after eating spring rolls, will miss the taste. In fact, you can buy spring roll wrappers, also known as "rice paper", in Vietnam. After returning home, you can make your own by combining them with your favorite fillings and turning them into a healthy meal! It is very suitable for friends who like to cook or have health needs, and it is sold in supermarkets!
Dried fruit
Vietnam produces many kinds of fruits, and there are also many choices for dried fruit. The most common ones are pineapple, banana, guava, and durian. Compared to mango, it is less common. It is very suitable for gifts. It is recommended to buy Vinamit's dried fruit, which can be found in major supermarkets and gift shops!
First row sugar
Must-buy snacks also include this "First Row Candy". The outermost layer is coated with coconut shreds, followed by rich cream, and inside are cashews, peanuts, etc. The bite feels layered and rich, so it's very popular. Among them, Galant products are most recommended by people and are readily available everywhere!
Marou Chocolate
Marou Chocolate is a Vietnamese brand that manufactures everything in-house, paying close attention to both craft and quality. They use traditional methods but the flavors and texture are not inferior to others, with unique flavors like rice noodles. It's recommended to buy their handmade chocolates at their specialty stores, as the packaging is also beautiful!
Wonderfarm Bird's Nest Drink
Have you ever thought that bird's nest can be casually consumed as a "beverage"? Vietnam's Wonderfarm bird's nest drink is sold in cans like the picture shows, at a very affordable price. After being chilled, it tastes delicious and nourishing! You can actually taste the bird's nest, which is super special!
STAR Comp Tea
Kombucha is a fermented tea that helps promote intestinal peristalsis and maintain gut health. Therefore, public demand has gradually increased in recent years. Vietnam's STAR Kombucha has passed FDA certification, so everyone can feel assured to buy and drink it. Its energetic appearance and diverse flavors are very suitable for giving to friends who care about their health. There are now mango, peach, passion fruit and other flavors!
