ben Thanh market

Here are some gifts I recommend to my friends who prepare gifts for their relatives after a trip to Vietnam.

We advise you to buy special products and crafts at Ben Thanh Market and buy industrial products at the supermarket close to where you are staying, but I have seen many friends using Lotte Mart at the entrance of Phu My Hung.

​

First, I will introduce some special products that can be purchased at Ben Thanh Market.

In the old Ben Thanh market, when buying cashew nuts, Korean tuna, dried shiitake, etc., they bought a lot at a time and cut them more than the displayed price. However, you should buy it at a reduced price rather than the displayed price, but shopping without regret

I think this might be.

​

​

The price indicated for reference is usually 1 kg, and it is recommended that you do not buy anything that is packaged as much as possible, taste it, weigh it on the spot, and pack it. When I bought an item, I put it in a plastic bag and pressed it with stapler, but now each store has a vacuum packaging machine, so I do vacuum packaging.

▷▷▷ What you can buy in the Ben Thanh market

Cashew Nuts-There are various types of cashew nuts, but these days, you can buy them in Korean supermarkets, but the shelled cashew nuts from Vietnam are still more delicious.

Macadamia and cashew nuts roasted in husks

​

​

Other nuts-almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, etc.

Almond is cheaper and cleaner than the Korean super.

When you get to know Macadamia, you should get an opener to eat.

​

Pistachios are cheaper than Korea, but they disappear too quickly. ^^

Soft meat

Yeonjayuk-It is well known through Korean TV these days. If you want to eat or boil it in rice, you can purchase it with uncooked dried lotus meat.

Various nuts and dried fruits

​

Dried Mango-Try it and ask it for packaging. If you like neat things, it's packed in Super ...

Ginger Pyeongang- It's too white or too dark.

Coconut dried-some colored, but white recommended!

If you want coconut powder, go super ...

dried mango

Dried shiitake-Usually made in China, but 1kg is a lot.

Dried Hanchi- The price is expensive, but it is softer than squid.

Squid Chae- I haven't had much success in buying spices because they don't match us.

​

Dried squid

Various crafts-I often see people who are more than 50% shaved.

I've seen small mirrors, cutlery sets, and chopstick sets cut like that. When used, mother-of-pearl and wood are separated. ㅠㅠ

It is essential to bargain when buying things at Ben Thanh Market. Cashew nuts and soft meats are cheaper than any other super, but the favor is different.
