While you are thinking about Viet coffee, give a moment to think about Viet chocolate! I brought back a stack of Marou chocolate bars and like a fool I gave them away as a gift (to someone who I don’t think appreciated them nearly enough). This will be remedied next December when we return to Vietnam for another food tour - and this time I am keeping the chocolate for us.
The gift reads were interesting. Thankfully I was born and raised in CA, and never plan to move, but it’s interesting to see the distribution of businesses across the country. I recently saw a show at the Hollywood Bowl for the first time, and I couldn’t keep from imagining my MIL screaming her head off at the Beatles ‘65 concert. VFAD is particularly special to me. And what timing that it came out right before Covid, when our shopping choices were greatly curtailed.

Ah, Marou chocolate. They have a nice shop in Saigon. There are a few other Viet chocolate producers in Vietnam too.
