BẾN TRE COCONUT SWEETS!
28,000 VND
If you like eating sweets and want to try Vietnamese local specialities, you should visit Ben Tre and get yourselves some coconut sweets. Coconut milk and malt syrup are the main ingredients to make this food. They also add some extra flavours to the sweets in order to produce different tastes for different people. Taste one and you can feel it melt in your mouth with all the flavours. However, the biggest problem is that it easily causes tooth decay. I will give it 4 stars.
COCONUT OIL FOR HAIR
150,000 VND
I bought this bottle of coconut oil a month ago, and I would say it's a fantastic product for hair. They make this with 100% natural ingredients so that it's safe and healthy for our hair and skin too. You can apply coconut oil either before or after you wash your hair so as to prevent dandruff and make your hair much smoother. It's really a must-have item, especially for ladies. But this product can be rather sticky.
