Salty sweet and very good crabs perfect for mango salad.
Second time order Frozen Salted Crab Mixed. Always love it.
Delicious Vietnamese salted crab! It brings out the best flavors in Thai Som Tum and tastes amazing in a sour mango salad. A must-have for spicy salad lovers.
Mixed it with mince garlic. Yum!!
I'm absolutely addicted to this; it's perfect for snacking when you're feeling down.
Slightly sweet, but delicious.
I saw a review from a friend saying it was delicious, so I added it to my papaya salad.
The marinated salted crabs were delivered in a thermal bag; the packaging was excellent.

Exactly what i used to eat . But i still missing Hai Phong style, a bit big, i like size a bit smaller
It OK not bad
It’s traditional taste so j get it again
The tea is very delicious and high quality.
This is my first time buying this glutinous rice ball dessert, and I hope it tastes good.
Delicious Tasted exactly like hometown. Quick and easy dessert. I'll repurchase!
I’ve bought this before. Super good! I will continue to buy it again.
Delicious hope
The dessert was delicious, with plenty of mung bean filling and a thin wrapper. Adding more sugar syrup and ginger would make it perfect. However, I noticed something... the box says 3 servings and the picture shows 3 large glutinous rice balls along with some smaller ones, but in reality, there are only 2 inside (the picture is for illustrative purposes only ). Overall, the glutinous rice ball dessert was still okay, delicious and filling.
This is delicious, it tastes just like fried rice noodles.
Delicious! Well packaged, will buy again.
This is the 3rd time ordering these and they’re delicious. Very close quality to the fresh dish you can homemake.
Soft and delicious
I ate it right after receiving the order, so I forgot to take pictures The fried dumplings were a bit hard, but not terrible, because the pickles and dipping sauce were quite good. I will order again.
Crispy and good but small portion
Can’t wait to try this out. My youth snack and now weee has it, so happy.
First time buying
