Che Muoi Sau - Hanoi

This place is really local.. they have a lot of different local sweet bowls and tea, using beans, kochi, coconut milk, tapioca pearls and more. They don't speak English so you just point to the menu or copy someone elseReally tasty and cheap!!

The menu has an English translation. I still didn’t really understand it tho. So I had what everyone else seemed to have. A drink with mung bean, tapioca cake and something else in a brownish liquid with ice cubes. A lot of different textures but no distinct flavour other than sweet.

We came for early breakfast but the translations we found in this profile are for ingredients, they do not match the dishes on the menu. Since nobody around us was having a dessert we could point at, we just pointed at red beans and tapioca balls (with coconut meat inside) and he put them together in a cup. Then we pointed at the mochi balls (brown sugar filling) and the thick coconut milk and he put them together too, looking at us as if we were a bit crazy hahaha. The guy was very patient with us, since we do not speak any Vietnamese but there was no dairy or egg so the language barrier did not matter. It all felt very authentic, and I love that they do not serve in disposable plastic ware. We paid 25,000 dong, cheaper than a cup of coffee in a nice cafe!

I went here and got some of everything, another customer spoke good English and helped me order which was lucky, but I could’ve got by by pointing and nodding, they were very friendly. I like sweet red beans and mochi and it reminded me of that. It was very tasty

Since nobody around us had dessert one we could indicate, we have just turned on red and tapioca balls (with cocos meat inside) and put them together in a cup. then we pointed to the mochi balls (brown sugar filling) and the thick cocose milk, and he also put them together and as if we were a bit crazy hahahaha. the type was very patient with us, as we do not speak Vietnamese, but there was no milk or egg, so that the language barrier did not play a role. it all felt very authentic, and I love that they do not serve in disposable plastic goods. we paid 25,000 dong, cheaper than a cup coffee in a beautiful caffe!
