Delicious Long Xuyen grapefruit tea

Among many desserts, grapefruit sweet soup in Long Xuyen is often loved and chosen by everyone, especially young people, students and pupils in the afternoon after school.

Sweet soup and coconut milk blend together to create a delicious grapefruit sweet soup.

Pomelo sweet soup is a simple dish but is loved by many people because of its attractive flavor that makes anyone who enjoys it once irresistibly addicted. The flavor of pomelo and green beans blend together to create a feeling of richness, fat, aroma and sweetness.

For me, grapefruit tea is also a deep memory that lasts through time when I first set foot in Long Xuyen and started entering university.

In the mid-90s, after school every afternoon, groups of young people would ride their bicycles around Nguyen Du Lake to admire it, then sit and chat together in a small shop called “Thuy Loi” right at the corner of the street across the lake. Each bowl of pomelo tea was displayed before their eyes, and everyone enjoyed it in admiration.

At that time, a bowl of pomelo sweet soup cost only 1,000 VND and became a favorite dish of many people... Until now, the price has increased over time, but the flavor has remained the same over the years.

Each grapefruit sweet soup shop has its own recipe to make the sweet soup delicious and attractive to customers.

“I have known and enjoyed grapefruit tea for more than 30 years in many places, but for me, the flavor of grapefruit tea in Long Xuyen is still as delicious as ever, each piece of crispy grapefruit creates a cool feeling in my mouth that I will never forget.”, said Mr. Hung (48 years old, living in Chau Doc).

With over ten years of experience selling all kinds of pomelo tea, Ms. Thao, the owner of a pomelo tea shop in the 4-light area (Long Xuyen ward), quickly packed each bag of pomelo tea for customers to take away, and shared: "At around 2 pm, I set up shop, usually by 8 pm it's sold out. There are also times when it's sold out very early."

If you have the opportunity to visit Long Xuyen, try enjoying a bowl of grapefruit sweet soup. The refreshing, slightly sweet taste of Long Xuyen grapefruit sweet soup will make everyone remember it forever.
