From a Bold Idea to a Vietnamese Flavor Icon – Lan's Vision Realized

Dare to Think – Dare to Act – Dare to Be Unique. This isn’t just a motto; it’s the spirit behind LysLan’s most audacious creation, a vision championed by Chi Lan herself.
Not everyone dares to conceive such a concept, and even fewer dare to bring it to life – but we did. And we succeeded beyond expectations.

Every bold idea begins with a pivotal question, and for us, it was: “Would anyone dare eat fish sauce chocolate?”
What initially sounded whimsical, even humorous, quickly became the passionate and challenging starting point for an extraordinary journey: the Fish Sauce Bonbon.

A Journey from a Humble Kitchen, Rooted in Tradition

In our artisanal kitchen in Binh Duong, each batch of these pioneering bonbons was meticulously crafted and tested.
At its heart lies a testament to Vietnamese excellence: made from 100% pure Vietnamese cacao and premium Phu Quoc fish sauce, the pride of Vietnamese cuisine.

For centuries, nước mắm (fish sauce) has been the soul of Vietnamese cooking, a fundamental condiment defining countless dishes with its unparalleled umami depth. It is a symbol of our culinary heritage, meticulously produced through traditional fermentation.

Every piece of LysLan handcrafted chocolate is a labor of love, made without artificial colors or chemicals – only the purest ingredients and an unwavering passion for the craft.

From Hesitation to Unanimous Admiration

Upon its launch, curiosity abounded… yet so did hesitation.
Questions like: “Fish sauce in chocolate? Does it actually work?” were common. This is understandable, as foreigners often initially perceive fish sauce as challenging due to its pungent aroma.

However, those very questions transformed into delight and astonishment after the first bite.
The harmonious blend of sweet caramel with the distinctive umami of authentic fish sauce, elegantly enveloped in silky chocolate, creates an unforgettable tasting experience – proving that once understood, this traditional ingredient offers unparalleled depth and complexity.

From Vietnamese Locals to Discerning International Guests

From our dedicated kitchen in Binh Duong, Fish Sauce Bonbon has transcended boundaries, captivating both Vietnamese who cherish the authentic flavors of their homeland and discerning international guests seeking unique culinary adventures.
It’s no longer just curiosity; it has garnered genuine praise: “A refined, unique, and unforgettable taste of Vietnam.”

This remarkable journey is compelling proof that a bold idea, when executed with passion and precision (a quality Chi Lan deeply instills in our team), can transcend conventional palate boundaries, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who dares to take a bite.

The Meaning for LysLan

The Fish Sauce Bonbon stands as LysLan’s definitive statement: Dare to Think – Dare to Act – Dare to Be Unique.
It is powerful evidence that authentic Vietnamese flavors possess the sophistication and versatility to step confidently onto the global stage, preserving their cherished essence while embracing refinement and modernity – a testament to the forward-thinking vision driving LysLan.
