5 unusual drinks heating up Saigon's teen scene this summer

Chewable coffee, Smoothie 'chew and sip'

The trend of 'eating your drink' has never been hotter, with an increasing number of coffee shops introducing new and innovative ways of serving food and drinks. The 'chew and sip' smoothie trend is causing a stir among teens, with one café on To Hien Thanh Street leading the way. The cups are made of agar, so after finishing the smoothie, teens can eat the cup itself, enjoying its chewy texture.

Chewable coffee, on the other hand, uses bread as its crust. This unique drink is being heavily promoted by a café on Tran Quang Khai Street, District 1. Teens can leisurely enjoy their coffee for a few minutes before eating the outer layer of bread – by then, it's infused with delicious coffee flavor.

Coffee, smoothie 'compressed tablets'

Different from the 'drinkable cup' concept, coffee and smoothie compressed tablets are inspired by the idea of enjoying smoothies in a pill form. A glass of smoothie compressed tablets consists of fruit juice - yogurt, with the rest being frozen smoothie tablets. The combination of these two elements creates a refreshing, flavorful drink.

Similarly, coffee compressed tablets also win over many coffee enthusiasts with their creativity: using frozen coffee instead of ice cubes made from regular water. You can chat with friends while enjoying your coffee without worrying about it getting diluted.

Cotton candy milk tea

This super cute drink is being hunted by many teens for its unique and novel appearance. When you order a portion of cotton candy milk tea, you will be served a tray containing cotton candy and a cup of milk tea. The milk tea includes familiar ingredients such as flan, agar, fruits, and dried coconut, making it quite delicious.

You can pour some milk tea into the cup, neatly place the cotton candy on top, pour the remaining milk tea, and enjoy. The aromatic milk tea blending with the sweet scent of cotton candy will leave you feeling very satisfied.

Tube ice cream

A Korean snack that many girls adore: tube ice cream. Its cute appearance and delicious ice cream layer are what captivate many teens about this snack.

Tube ice cream is 30-50cm long. The outer layer of waffle cone wraps around the chocolate and vanilla ice cream inside, creating a uniquely crispy and fragrant taste.

Ice cream hot pot

The name alone sounds grand, but if you get the chance to experience it, you'll be even more surprised with a pot of delicious ice cream. The combination of cold ice cream and chocolate sauce will delight you as you enjoy a refreshing dish with a hot style, quite literally.

This is the choice of many Saigon teens looking to have a blast with friends on the weekend. Each hot pot of ice cream costs around 70-300,000 VND, not too expensive for an explosive night out.
