“ Chè “- One of must try Vietnamese Desserts for Sweet-tooth People
Chè is a traditional Vietnamese
word to describe any Vietnamese sweet condensed beverage, which is usually
available in the form of condensed soup with different topping or pudding. It
tends to be a combination of fruit, beans, jelly, seeds, glutinous rice and
tapioca powder and the special sauce is coconut milk. Even though it is not too sweet and does not
have the most fancy look like other kind of dessert, most people are totally
addicted to this unforgettable kind of sweet treat. There are so many varieties
of “chè” that one Vietnamese can’t remember all but here are the four tastiest “
chè “ that you must try when visiting Viet Nam.

Sweet Glutinous Rice Dumplings (Chè trôi nước):
Form: Condensed
Soup

In Vietnamese,
this dessert’s name means, “ floating on water” because when we cooked, the
balls rise from the bottom of the pot to the soup’s surface. The texture of it
is similar to Japanese mochi because of the chewy and gummy rice which
underneath of it is the soft and savory mung bean. The golden gooey syrup adds
a sweet flavor and an aromatic ginger fragrance to the super-delicious sweet
soup.
