To the Southerners, Hoa Loc mangoes are considered the best. The mango in the Tien River Region is medium with an elongated oval shape; when ripe, it is fragrant and intensely sweet with a bright yellow skin, and smooth, yellow orange flesh and a soft pulpy texture that is low in fiber. It seems that, with such a delicious kind of mango, the work of the chef will become simple, but the important thing is to keep its original fragrance, sweetness and tastiness. The chefs of Song Tra Hotel created Mango Che with rock sugar and coconut extract as fast and skillfully as possible. They also made the tiny grains of mangoes softly melted on the tip of the diners’ tongues and their flavorful taste lasted for a very long time.
