6 p.m., the milk tea shop on the sidewalk of Hang Muoi street (Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) just opened, but only 30 minutes later, Nguyen Ngoc Bach, the owner, shouted: No tables and turned off the app. online ordering app) will no longer accept customers who order from the app.”
Many shippers (delivery people) have to call customers to cancel orders because the restaurant cannot serve them in time.
At this time, nearly 20 tables in front of the restaurant were also full. Bach and a counter employee had to work continuously on all steps: Taking customers’ orders, recording customers’ names and making clear milk tea terracotta pot.
Recently, terracotta milk tea (also known as grilled milk tea) is famous on social networking sites and is “sought after” by many young people. enjoy.
The attraction of this drink is its extremely unique look, instead of the traditional plastic or paper cup with a large straw, baked milk tea is stored in a pot (some places call it a kettle). ) is made from terracotta.
The ingredients used to create a cup of baked milk tea are introduced by the shop as “100% natural” using dried flowers, herbs, red apples, goji berries… which are beneficial to health, especially for women.
Shop owner Nguyen Ngoc Bach needs 5-7 minutes to create a perfect cup of roasted milk tea for customers. The process of making this drink is quite interesting, so diners often stand around the counter to observe.
Each cup of roasted milk tea is currently sold for 35,000 VND. The shop only serves hot milk tea, suitable for Hanoi’s winter weather.
I find the price quite cheap. Normally, buying a cup of non-branded milk tea costs 50,000 VND/cup. When drinking it, it costs 50,000 VND/cup. The sweet taste evokes the smell of tea and herbs, but the flavor is not too different and does not make people remember for a long time or make an impression” shared by Pham Ngoc, a diner.
Toasted milk tea shop Hang Muoi is only open from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. According to Ngoc Bach, every evening the shop sells about 300-500 cups of baked milk tea.
“Because the shop serves hot milk tea, it only sells it in the evening. In fact, this type of tea is more about enjoying and feeling the warm scent rather than creating a highlight in flavor. Because The ingredients are all from natural ingredients so the tea taste will be clearer” Ngoc Bach said.
