One of the places I wanted to visit during my trip to Vietnam was the chocolate specialty store “MAROU.” While some stores in Japan occasionally sell their chocolate bars, I was eager to experience their extensive selection and, more importantly, to try their chocolate drinks and sweets.
On the first day of my initial visit to Vietnam, I immediately went to MAROU in Ho Chi Minh. I discovered that MAROU stores exist within shopping malls, where they sell not only chocolate gifts but also drinks and cakes. However, there might be differences in the size of the stores, the atmosphere, and possibly the variety of products and types of sweets available to eat on-site.
I visited “Maison Marou Saigon.” It’s within walking distance from the famous Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh, so it’s not too far away.
The entrance was small and a bit hard to find, but I found the store along the road.
The store was filled with gift products. As I looked around, I noticed that there were opportunities to sample pieces of chocolate at key points throughout the store, allowing for tasting of some varieties. Everything I tried was unique and delicious. I was particularly impressed by the Christmas limited edition chocolate, which had a hint of citrus flavor.
In addition to chocolate, they also sold honey, drinking chocolate, and various goods, making shopping there enjoyable.
After buying some souvenirs, I went to the cafe area. I wanted to eat chocolate cake, but I was too full from the hotel, so I only had a drink.
Considering the cost of living in Vietnam, it was expensive, but worth drinking. The sweetness was moderately restrained, making it very easy to drink. The sweetness that comes gradually afterwards is likely to become addictive.
Walking around the city, I found other small “MAROU” stores. It seems you can shop and eat at various places, so please visit when you come to Vietnam. I think it would be greatly appreciated as a souvenir.
