Che Cart | Dien Bien Phu Alley Way, Binh Thanh District | Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Every night whether rainy or clear skies, my neighborhood che lady wheels out her cart. She settles into her claimed spot in a little alley off Dien Bien Phu, conveniently just steps from where I live. Each night she offers a different version of che, which is a Vietnamese dessert that typically relies on beans, sticky rice, and tapioca (can be served hot or cold). I look forward to Wednesday nights when she serves banana che. Another favorite is the hot soy bean curd with coconut milk flavored che, which is usually served every other night. All flavors are served in a tiny bowl and costs 4000 vnd (approximately $0.20 usd). Order your flavor of choice, sit on a child sized colored stool, and enjoy the sweetness of this adored woman and her home made che.
