Trang Tien Ice Cream was established in 1958. At that time, it was a very famous state-owned commercial establishment along with other stores such as: Bo De Ga Restaurant, Thuy Ta Restaurant and Four Seasons ice cream.
During the difficult subsidy period, Trang Tien Ice Cream shop was known by many people for its delicious flavor and central location in Hanoi. Those days, when people visited Guom Lake, most of them stopped at Trang Tien to eat ice cream. Ice cream stalls are located close to the sidewalk. Buyers wait in line until their turn, buy and eat ice cream on the street. Trang Tien Ice Cream attracts visitors because of its simplicity and becomes a memory of Hanoians.
In 2000, Trang Tien Ice Cream was equitized and changed a lot. The spacious indoor space is renovated so that guests do not have to stand to eat ice cream on the sidewalk, thereby contributing to ensuring traffic order and safety and urban beauty. If Trang Tien was known for popsicles and ice cream cones with flavours of vanilla, chocolate, coconut milk, and nuggets; now there are boxed ice cream, fresh ice cream with many new flavours such as green tea, strawberry, durian and taro.
In 2020, Trang Tien Ice Cream invested in renovating and upgrading its facility. The old space has now been replaced by a fresh, spacious and polite space. On the walls are printed and painted many pictures of old Hanoi, which are loved by many customers, especially young people. They often take pictures to check-in whenever they come here.
Whether summer or winter, rain or shine, Trang Tien Ice Cream is always crowded. Currently, in Hanoi, there are many places selling delicious ice cream, mainly imported ice cream, but people still like to eat Trang Tien Ice Cream on that street. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Trang Tien Ice Cream has become an interesting and cultural feature of Hanoi./.
