Enjoying this hot dish, a food reviewer with nearly 2 million views on social media expressed: "If anyone intends to eat lychee jelly, they should think carefully. If everyone thinks lychee jelly is a very delicious dish, then immediately give up that thought."

This person commented: "The white cake goes the white cake, the lychee goes the lychee. It feels like people are eating a lychee and then eating a piece of white cake. The two combinations are completely unrelated. This dish is not bad, but the ingredients in this dish are really unrelated."

This person also talked about how the food is sold at a rather expensive price, however not all places use high-quality, premium ingredients. Immediately after that, this clip received more than 5 million views.

Below the post, many people agreed with this food reviewer, affirming that the dish was not as delicious as rumored because of the "unrelated" combination. Thoa's account felt: "I admit that it is not delicious. I bought it from many places but still found it not delicious, it is not because of the place because when I ate it, I did not find any of the ingredients related to each other."

"Yes, I confirm that it's true. One way is Khuc Bach, the other is Lychee," shared Hamae. "When you look at the dish, you can guess the taste. It's off. The Lychee tastes like Lychee, and the Khuc Bach tastes like Khuc Bach," commented another account.

After trying lychee jelly, another food reviewer with more than 2 million followers on social media had the opposite opinion. He bought the dish for 85,000 VND/box. "The dish is super fragrant, the jelly is not too sweet, fatty with juicy lychees. So delicious, not boring! The box I bought has 15 lychees and the dish is more delicious than I thought," he added.
