I brought local specialties such as banh num co (a type of rice cake), fried shrimp patties, banh candied fruit, ban flower tea, ban powder... with the hope of introducing the unique features of Dung islet to tourists from near and far. Hopefully, after enjoying them, many people will come to the area for more experiences.”
