Ice cream, a sweet treat often enjoyed as dessert, is distinguished by its cold temperature. It is made from milk or cream, along with ingredients such as sugar, flavorings, and colorings. Premium ice creams often use flavors and colors directly from natural fruits. The ingredients are mixed to form a mixture and then frozen to create a smooth, creamy, solid foam at very low temperatures. Trang Tien Ice Cream is a renowned brand across the country and among foreign tourists. Visiting Hanoi without indulging in this brand's ice cream would be a significant omission.

Trang Tien Ice Cream is a famous ice cream brand established in 1958 in Hanoi, Vietnam. The reason it is named 'Trang Tien' is because the ice cream is sold and produced on Trang Tien street, initially at house number 35 Trang Tien, Hoan Kiem district. Trang Tien Ice Cream has become a familiar ice cream brand to Hanoians. It is also considered the best ice cream brand in Hanoi, witnessing the ups and downs of Hanoi over time, making it very special. Taking a stroll around the lake and enjoying a cone of Trang Tien ice cream, whether in winter or summer, will make you feel strangely comfortable.
