1Discover the famous delicious Con Dao coconut ice cream
Besides Trang Tien ice cream, in Hanoi there is another ice cream dish that is very popular with young people. It is Con Dao coconut ice cream. According to Vietnamtravelio Travel Guide, this ice cream originated from Con Dao, a gift to repay the life-saving gratitude of a prison guard who once ran a French ice cream business for a local old man. This old man then tried to combine the ice cream with his homeland’s produce, ground coconuts, creating a famous Con Dao specialty.
The difference of this dish lies in the soft, smooth, naturally sweet layer of ice cream, scooped into balls and placed neatly in a ground coconut. Accompanying a full portion of ice cream are pieces of fresh, sweet coconut and a glass of cool coconut water. Sprinkled on top are a variety of toppings that are both beautiful and delicious such as dried coconut, roasted peanuts, shredded coconut fibers… If you want something sweet, you can ask to add condensed milk or your favorite flavored syrup.
