I decided to make it to sell, that day sold in Son Tay town (Ha Tay province, now belongs to Hanoi) for more than 10 years. In 2005, I moved to 52 Hang Chieu for saleโ.
Phuong’s donut shop sells only two types of donuts: sugar donuts and honey donuts. In the past, the price of each ball donut was only 200 VND/piece. And now, over time, the price of each donut has increased to 5,000 VND, although the price is “slightly” higher than other goods, but in return, the filling is more and bigger.
It is known that Ms. Phuong has to get up at 3 am every day to prepare the dough and filling so that at 7 o’clock there can be cakes for customers to buy. The shop’s opening time is from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.

After being molded, the cakes are dropped into large oil pans, on average, each batch is about 100 pieces. Cakes are sprinkled with sugar or honey before reaching the hands of customers.
“In the winter, each batch of cakes must be fried for 40 minutes, in the summer, it must be fried for about 25-30 minutes. Donuts must be done slowly, not quickly. In addition, when frying, the cake must be submerged in oil, honey or sugar so that it is sufficient so that it can be fried properly. honey and sugar cling to the cake”Phuong shared with Discover.
The cockroach-colored cakes are cakes that have reached maturity. To have a delicious cake, Phuong requires her staff to be meticulous in each stage and most importantly, the process must be clean.
