Snacks are always a favorite for their delightful flavors, easy consumption, and affordable prices. With endless varieties and creative twists by sellers, new snack wonders emerge. The snacks of the first half of 2017 are a testament to this diversity. Join PasGo in discovering these 7 snack sensations!
1. Gold-Leafed Ice Cream
At the beginning of 2017, golden-plated ice cream made its debut in Saigon and quickly became a sensation among the youth. Originating from the distant land of France, this 24k gold-covered ice cream encased in edible gold leaf was warmly embraced by the vibrant Saigonese youth.
The ice cream comes in two flavors: vanilla and green tea, each offering a unique taste experience. The aromatic and sweet richness of vanilla appeals to those with a sweet tooth, while the refreshing and gentle green tea flavor is perfect for those who prefer less sweetness. The 24k gold layer, fully enveloping the ice cream, not only pleases the eye but also adds a distinctive flavor. Upon consumption, the gold layer immediately melts, blending the subtly salty and sweet creamy filling, leaving you unable to resist.
2. Chicken Wrapped in Sticky Rice
The filling consists of finely shredded chicken, marinated with flavorful spices, garlic, and wrapped in sticky rice before being rolled in crispy fried flour. The frying process begins only when a customer places an order. The adorable and golden-brown chicken wrapped in sticky rice, with a crispy yet soft outer layer, emanates the aroma of coconut essence combined with the savory taste of well-seasoned chicken—simply indescribably delicious.
3. Grilled Quail Eggs at Bach Khoa
The grilled quail egg dish, a newfound favorite among many young enthusiasts, captivates with its exquisite taste, uniqueness, and affordability. Quail eggs are delicately grilled on a charcoal stove, sprinkled with savory beef jerky, chopped green onions, and topped with luscious mayonnaise sauce—a blend of flavors that is both delightful and irresistibly rich.
4. Rose-shaped Ice Cream
Ice cream lovers cannot overlook the rose-shaped ice cream. With its incredibly cute appearance and diverse flavors, rose-shaped ice cream immediately became a sensation upon its debut. During the preparation, each layer of ice cream is meticulously sliced and curved to form the shape of a rose. Although it may seem simple at first glance, achieving the precise thickness of each ice cream layer to create an even, beautiful rose without melting is no easy feat. The creator must be skillful, meticulous, and swift to produce a stunning 'rose' masterpiece.
Rose-shaped ice cream offers a variety of flavors for you to choose from, including: vanilla, chocolate, coconut, green tea, strawberry, blueberry, and more. You can also opt for unique combinations of different flavors to make the ice cream even more distinctive.
5. Yogurt with Sticky Rice Jelly
Although yogurt with sticky rice jelly is relatively new in popularity, it has gained quite a following among the youth for its refreshing and delicious qualities. Compared to other desserts like sweet soups, making yogurt with sticky rice jelly is much simpler. A cup of yogurt with sticky rice jelly features yogurt at the bottom, followed by refreshing green sticky rice jelly on top, and a layer of coconut milk and rich condensed milk. Depending on personal preferences, you can add chewy tapioca pearls or finely chopped fruits on top.
While the preparation method may be simple, it's the fragrant sticky rice jelly that makes yogurt with sticky rice jelly so enticing. The crispy jelly, infused with the delightful aroma of sticky rice, is distinct from other ordinary jellies. Coupled with the richness of milk, coconut, the tartness of yogurt, yogurt with sticky rice jelly is undoubtedly a delicious and cooling treat for summer that no one can resist.
6. Cheese Melt Baguette
When it comes to summer snacks in 2017, the irresistible cheese melt baguette cannot be overlooked—a dish that has taken the Instagram world by storm recently. At first glance, you might think there's nothing unique about it, and everyone must be a fan. However, what sets this type of baguette apart is the gooey cheese inside; just break the baguette, and you'll see the rich and creamy cheese oozing out, visually pleasing and tempting. The sweet, creamy, and cool characteristic cheese filling blends harmoniously with the soft and fragrant baguette, infused with a milky aroma, avoiding any overwhelming taste. With its eye-catching appearance and unique flavor, it's easy to understand why this dish has gained such widespread popularity.
7. Seagrape
In recent days, seagrape, a specialty of Nha Trang, has become a sought-after ingredient for various playful dishes such as sweet soup, yogurt, sugar-coated or fruit syrup-dipped seagrape. Seagrape is white, transparent, with a slightly chewy and crispy texture that is quite delightful. However, due to its mild flavor, seagrape is more suitable for combining with other ingredients rather than being consumed alone, as it can quickly become monotonous.
