    Default What snacks to buy to Vietnam from Singapore?

    Hi, I'm Singaporean and will be going to Hanoi soon to visit my Vietnamese friend. I would like to buy some local snacks for her and her family but I have no idea what the Vietnamese would like, or if I might buy some snacks which they already have in Vietnam.

    Can anyone give me some suggestions please? It has to be easy to carry, like local biscuits or the like... I am thinking of pineapple tarts but what else? Kaya? Would they already have that in Vietnam?

    Thanks!

    - chocolates for children
    - The traditional speciality foods of your country
    - whatever you think that it's good

    Get some Malay treats, we don't have those in VN.

    Be careful about the chocolate. At this time of year, it is very hot so the chocolate will melt. The best way is as soon as you get out of the airport, your luggage is still cool, get the chocolate out and put them in the fridge.

    Oh! snacks sold in VN are very abundant. How about a diamond ring?

    1st Version:
    Anyone who teaches me one word - even half a word - is still my teacher.
    2nd Version:
    Even he who teaches me the smallest bit can still be called my teacher

    Please correct my grammar as you see fit. Much appreciated!

    Từ kinh nghiệm xương máu bác ơi. Tớ đem kẹo về cho các cô nhi viện VN, về tới nơi nó chẩy ra hết. Được cái là bỏ tủ lạnh thì nó cứng lại, nhưng nhìn không ngon.

    Money should be brought in to buy things. You can buy almost anything you think of in vn nowadays. but we do not have syrup. but your syrup may be confiscated at the airport.

    Ý bác là syrup (xi rô) mùi vị trái cây đó hả ? Cấm là phải rồi. Mấy cái này là đường hoá học và phẩm không à. Tớ làm xi rô đá nhận là phải làm xi rô ở nhà chứ không bao giờ mua ở ngoài hết.
