This compilation features the most essential recipes, using carefully selected, delicious ingredients to create the unique and unmistakable flavor of Hanoi's famous ice cream:
Finely chopped mung beans, tender green rice flakes, shredded white fresh coconut, or creamy taro… have recently been introduced into the culinary world.
Once the ingredients have cooled sufficiently, it's time to pour them into molds and freeze them in a brine tank. Afterward, the ice cream sticks are dried and packaged in neat square boxes in the freezer. From here, this refreshing Trang Tien ice cream is ready to be delivered to customers…
Even in modern times, despite the support of many advanced machines, the ice cream makers of Trang Tien still favor manual processes. The women and men diligently sift and pick each fresh green rice flake, the workers carefully and meticulously separate the egg yolks to avoid mixing them with the whites. Some tirelessly slice sweet potatoes, others meticulously filter coconut shreds. All the ice cream makers at Trang Tien have long-term commitments to their workplace, doing the same job day after day, yet everyone is happy, enthusiastic, and reluctant to leave.
