Hello, everyone! Recently, the "snack lovers" community in Hanoi has been buzzing about a newly popular spot called Mlem Mlem Food. Just hearing the name sounds "super cute," right? My friends and I couldn't resist our curiosity and decided to "raid" this "snack kingdom" right away. And honestly... we were completely "blown away"!
From the moment I stepped into Mlem Mlem Food, I was impressed by the space—though a bit "chaotic" due to the crowd of students, it was packed with "treasures" of snacks at shockingly low prices! It's no exaggeration to say this place is my "paradise" and undoubtedly a "perfect spot" for those with "tight budgets" but still want to "eat the world."

What made me "wide-eyed and open-mouthed" was the prices of the snacks here. Believe it or not, with just 1,000 VND, you can grab all sorts of things! There are chips for only 1,900 VND a pack, super cheap silken tofu for just 200-300 VND, and I even found beef tripe for 400 VND—so cheap I had to "try it out" immediately! Truly "dirt cheap"!
It's not just familiar "local" snacks; Mlem Mlem Food also "treats" the "sweet-tooth team" and those who love exploring international cuisines with various candies and snacks from Korea and Thailand! I spotted a few stalls selling "authentic" delicacies that you'd typically find only in big supermarkets.
Another "plus point" I loved at Mlem Mlem Food is their promotion: any purchase comes with a free ice cream. Shopping till you drop while cooling off with an ice cream—what could be better? Of course, I didn't miss this chance!

While "exploring" the stalls, I spotted a crispy stick priced at an "unbelievable" 990 VND! Such a "rock-bottom" price! The shop owner even jokingly said they'd "add a little more" if more customers came. Just hearing that made me feel "so loved"!
Here's a "little secret": Mlem Mlem Food doesn't just have one location. The one I visited is their second branch, and according to the owner, their first store in Hanoi is also super popular. This proves that the "charm" of Mlem Mlem Food is no joke!
While I was busy "browsing" the snacks, my friend Tu Anh was captivated by a cute little toy—a clay figurine. At first, she guessed it would cost 20,000–30,000 VND, but when she found out it was only 799 VND, she was "totally shocked"! It's true—you can "shop without looking at the price" at Mlem Mlem Food!
However, I must "confess" that since the supermarket had just opened, many stalls still didn't have price tags. This made our "guess the price" game even more "thrilling." The feeling of picking out items while guessing prices was genuinely "addictive"!

I also "spotted" a wall decorated with teddy bears that kids adored, even featuring Capybara figures! Sadly, I didn't see Labubu. Indeed, this spot will be a "must-check-in" corner for kids and anyone who loves everything cute!
My "loot" was so massive that my shopping cart was "jam-packed." Yet, there were still tons of "shockingly cheap" things I hadn't grabbed. So, we decided to "park" our two carts in a corner and "go for another round." You can see just how "obsessed" we were!

After Tu Anh "completed her mission" with a "light shopping spree," I got equally "lost" in the "egg paradise" with all kinds of mini eggs, spicy quail eggs, and even the currently "hot" Liziqi's crab paste noodles. Although I hadn't bought the noodles since I'd tried them before, I managed to "eye" a lot of tempting spicy skewers.
That's not all! I also "discovered" the stinky tofu that has been "going viral" online, along with pork knuckles and squid roe. Not to mention a long aisle of ready-to-eat chicken feet. Even though I love them, I picked just a few because I didn't want to overindulge in too much-processed food. I thought this decision was both "mindful" and "adorable"!
Overall, our "raid" at Mlem Mlem Food was a huge success—we scored a "whole sky" of snacks at "unbelievably lovely" prices. If you're a "hardcore snack fan" looking for a budget-friendly and diverse place, Mlem Mlem Food is a name you shouldn't miss! So, what are you waiting for? Gather your friends and "raid" it right away!
