Talking to us, Ms. Phung said that she currently lives and works in an office in Ho Chi Minh City. Thu Duc, HCMC. “I joined TikTok in 2019 but in May 2020, I just created my own account and started to shoot short videos on how to make snacks according to my preferences, but I still find it difficult to remember and unattractive after watching it again and again. . So I came up with a way to share and make the dish in poetry, which is both easy to remember but unexpected to be accepted by so many people,” said Ms. Phung.

Ms. Phung said that the first video she made was a poem on how to make Watermelon Soda. Then there was a little friend who praised good poetry. Then the coconut girl began to think about more ideas for the next videos.

"The first stage is a bit difficult, sometimes when I write a tutorial poem for half of the lesson, I don't think about any more rhyming sentences, then have to do it all over again, correcting each rhyme," said Ms. Phung.

According to Ms. Phung, you have to think about the idea of ​​how to start the dish and then rhyme the order of the recipe based on the recorded video. In addition, try to use words that are not cheesy, otherwise people will have a hard time hearing.

Ms. Phung also said: "I don't force myself to shoot this dish, that dish is all just according to my preferences. If you make something for the whole family to eat that day, take the time to come back or ask your loved ones to help you with this step. After dinner, if I have free time, I edit the video and write poetry based on my new feelings. I prioritize in order of cooking, while poetry is just a supplement to the recipe.”
