On the weekend morning (September 19), at a mooncake shop on Hue street (Hanoi), people came to buy cakes quite crowded. In front of the sales area, customers lined up in long rows, waiting for their turn to choose and pay.
In the morning, the number of customers is constantly coming in and out. Some people go alone, while many families and groups of friends take advantage of the weekend to buy mooncakes.
Having to wait for a while does not interrupt the line of people in front of the store. Customers take turns moving into the sales area, choosing products and then paying before leaving.
Among the types of cakes that people are interested in, cốm flavor cakes are chosen by some customers. This is a flavor that many buyers mention when choosing cakes for their families during this Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha (Hai Ba Trung ward, Hanoi) said that she took advantage of the weekend morning to buy cakes for her family. Seeing a crowd of people queuing, she had to wait about 20-25 minutes to get their turn to buy.
I bought a few for my family. This year I chose more cốm flavor because I want to try a different flavor besides traditional cakes" - Ms. Ha said.
Standing in the waiting line, Mr. Do Minh Duc (Bach Mai ward, Hanoi) shared that he was asked by his family to buy cakes. According to him, on the weekend morning, many people took the opportunity to buy, so the store was quite crowded.
I don't buy much, mainly choosing flavors that my family likes. Rice flake flavored cakes are also among the types I choose this time" - Mr. Duc shared.
Meanwhile, Ms. Pham Thi Ngoc Anh (Hanoi) said that she bought cakes for her family to use during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She often considers the taste of each member before choosing.
My family still likes familiar flavors, but this year I want to buy more cốm flavor cakes to change them. I bought 3 boxes, one pair of cakes each box, just enough for the family to use during the Mid-Autumn Festival" - Ms. Ngoc Anh said.
Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the activity of buying cakes at some points of sale in Hanoi is starting to become bustling. Buyers have many choices of flavors, in which cốm flavor cakes are sought after by some customers besides traditional cake lines.
