The story

An old dessert house with no signboard, down a winding lane at 36 Thanh Tinh in Vy Da, and a childhood memory for many Hue locals. The short menu has three chè: a bean chè of red beans, kidney beans and soybeans with coconut cream and roasted peanuts; a corn chè; and a fruit chè of more than ten fresh fruits cut small and arranged by color. It was founded by a woman from Quang Nam, and guides say the flavors lean Quang.

A budget spot for Hue sweet soups (che) that fits an evening dessert route. Dietary details vary by dessert, so ask per item.

Founded by a woman from Quang Nam who followed her husband to Hue; the shop was once near Ong Thuong bridge and known as 'Chè Ông Thượng'.

Local tips

There's no signboard, so look for house number 36 on Thanh Tinh rather than a shopfront.

Order the bean chè and the fruit chè to share and try the two house styles.
