A visit to a candy factory


A visit to a candy factory

On the first day of our tour of the Mekong Delta, we visited a candy factory. Here they puffed rice over a fire-heated wok with black sand. They sifted out the sand using the sieve, and used the husks to fire the wok. They later led us to a room where they made rice krispy treats, and we sat to sample their wares and enjoyed some tea. I didn't mind this commericial visit as there was no hard sell and we got to enjoy some snacks.
