Ca Mau sea is famous for many species of shrimp with firm, chewy and juicy meat such as ground shrimp, black tiger shrimp, and silver shrimp… that’s why in this cape, locals create shrimp puff pastry, to take advantage of it. Rich output from the sea is processed into dishes for long-term storage. Gradually, shrimp puff pastry is a specialty of Ca Mau in addition to dried shrimp, sea crab, and three-knot… Ca Mau shrimp puff pastry is different from the white round shrimp cake commonly found in supermarkets or food stores. This type of puff pastry is pure shrimp puff pastry, with orange-red color from pureed fresh ground shrimp, mixed with ingredients such as tapioca flour, flour, green onions, spices… after coating the cake. and dried, it will be cut into squares, when eaten, the smell of shrimp meat is strong.
Ca Mau shrimp puff pastry
“Initially, I chose to sell shrimp puff pastry because this is a specialty that Ca Mau people are very proud of. Shrimp puff pastry is only seen a lot on Tet holiday, aunts and uncles and brothers and sisters in other provinces do not know it and are difficult to find. If I have the opportunity to enjoy it, I want to use our ability, my grandmother and I will introduce a specialty of Ca Mau people to people everywhere.
My family’s shrimp puff pastry, the recipe was created by my grandmother and adjusted from me, has a very unique, different and suitable flavor for everyone, so it is fortunate to receive the support of relatives near and far. Every 10 kg of cake is 10 kg of tapioca flour mixed with other flours. Silver shrimp, and black tiger shrimp are carefully selected for grinding, the new puff pastry will be as natural and beautiful as possible. The mixture of minced shrimp with spices, scallions, eggs, mixed with flour, and mixed with water must be in the same proportion, beaten and coated by hand.”

EVERY ORDER SELL UP TO 500KG OF CAKES, 3 DAYS SELL NEARLY 3 TONS OF CAKES
According to TikToker, before the product was limited in quantity, it was sold for 1-2 days / batch, each month will open for sale 2 times. However, in a short time, everyone loved and supported, now increasing the number of workers, the number of cakes is more, every 3 days, a single order is closed until the end of the month, sometimes opening with 200kg, sometimes opening. with 500kg…
“Because of the large number of orders, I had to rent more houses to dry cakes, expand more floors, and earn more human resources. At first, people said they couldn’t buy cakes, because in 3 days, people supported nearly 3 tons of cakes. so I can’t make it in time to sell.. The reason is that I process it at home, don’t use machines, from cutting the cake, pressing the cake, drying the cake… I can’t parameterize a lot to reduce the quality of the cake. To be delicious, shrimp cakes must be dried in natural sunlight, so the number of cakes depends on the weather.
Ta Cong Bang owns a number of applications that everyone dreams of when he only started his business for about 3-4 months
Many people recommend that I buy a dryer for quick production, but I don’t want to because I’m afraid it won’t be fragrant or delicious anymore. At its core, the first starting point of shrimp puff pastry is to create a “couldn of money” for the aunts and uncles in Ca Mau, and most of all, everyone wants to introduce to people near and far completely about the puff pastry. Ca Mau people are full of pride, we have to keep our reputation.”
With the price of 100,000 VND for 500 grams of shrimp crackers, 180,000 VND if you buy one kilogram, with the weight of the cake sold in a short time falling from one hundred kilograms to one thousand kilograms, it is easy to guess that the revenue is an extremely large number. And of course, the profit earned from the starting point of “sharing life” on TikTok is not an ordinary number.($1=24,000 VND)
EXPANDING THE SCALE OF “Family Bakery” WITH 7 HOUSES – 40 FAMILY

“Actually, Bang’s Tacoba factory is a family bakery. That means the workers are family members, and the process is also produced manually at home. The current Tacoba factory is owned by 7 families. up to 40 people, and all of them are relatives, aunts and uncles of Bang.In the past, before making shrimp cakes, the main job was as a farmer, eliminating shrimp worms, due to weather conditions and a For other reasons, the work of the aunts and uncles is also unstable. Now, thanks to the development of our puff pastry factory, everyone’s work is also better, especially around the time of Tet.”
Not only is it a smart personal income problem, what this TikToker creates more value is to increase income for many family members, call aunts and uncles with you to collaborate on cake production, ie. that they have more jobs, bond more and please their grandmother.
“When Bang achieved a certain success in terms of popularity on TikTok as well as his current business, his grandmother was very happy. Happy because not only waiting for Tet, but now aunts and uncles gathered but now. It’s always very crowded, everyone makes cakes together, so the family atmosphere is very crowded.Thanks to this Tacoba family puff pastry shop, the aunts and uncles have a lot of money, helping them somewhat economically. She was both happy and comforted at the same time.”
