To have delicious mango melon pieces is the secret to marinating them in the right amount of spices but not using alum or borax to create crunchiness. Pick up a piece of saffron-colored melon and bring it to your mouth to bite. The crunchy melon sounds "yes" in your teeth. Chew lightly: its salty, sweet, sour, and spicy taste absorbs quickly in your mouth. If you want it to be more salty, sweet and spicy, dip the melon in a plate of salt and chili. Also, don't forget to buy mango melon or fresh mango as gifts for relatives and friends. Currently, there are 500 hectares of clean and safe mangoes in the area according to VietGAP standards. You can shop at fruit stores at Tan My market, mango gardens, Huong Giang mango melon production facility, Truong Giang mango melon production facility... Standing on the My Luong - Tan My bridge, looking over the green island range in the rushing wind of the Tien River, is truly interesting and makes you feel extremely relaxed and romantic. In the distance, the clear ringing of bells and mysterious sounds from the churches captivates visitors. Cu Lao Gieng deserves to be a miniature Mekong Delta, representing a rural river civilization.
