In recent days, Mr. Hai's shrimp salted mango shake cart has been causing quite a stir in Saigon. Wanting to buy a cup of mango shake here requires lining up and getting a number.

Customers here share that some days they have to return empty-handed, but the taste of the mango shake is truly indescribable, completely different from the usual salted mango. People from other provinces across the country also really want to enjoy this dish but don't have the opportunity to come to Saigon. However, rest assured that you will still be able to enjoy the dish that's making waves because we've discovered the recipe for making this mango shake.
