The fruit of the flowering plant “sau” (Dracontomelon duperreanum) is a common snack in Hanoi this season. Vietnamese use the green fruits as a souring agent or soak them in sugar to make candied treat similar to the Japanese umeboshi.

Green sticky rice, or “com” in Vietnamese, is also common this season as they are used for different kinds of sweet snacks for their fragrance.
