Chilled Delights: Làay Phá and Frosty Rolled Ice Cream for Scorching Days in Saigon
Saigon's weather is entering the 'fire-pouring' phase, making many feel exhausted and irritable. Beverages and dishes that bring a refreshing sensation are becoming highly sought after.
Làay Phá
Originating from the Chinese, Làay Phá, also known as ant soup dessert, might seem a bit challenging at first, but once accustomed, it proves to be a wonderfully cool and effective body cooler.
Rolled Ice Cream
Originating from Thailand, this treat isn't pre-prepared; it's crafted upon order. Making a serving of rolled ice cream is quite an art. The seller pours the cream and various flavor ingredients onto a flat pan, skillfully spreading and blending them together.
Coconut Jelly Agar, and Flan Dessert
The cool and fragrant coconut jelly agar, infused with the richness of coconut essence, is one of those dishes that effectively beats the heat on scorching days. This delicacy is best enjoyed when chilled. The price for one piece ranges from 20,000 to 25,000 VND.
Additionally, you might want to give the coconut flan cake a try. The outer layer, made of tender coconut rice, maintains a delightful crispiness, complementing the flan and agar to create a uniquely tantalizing dish. A coconut flan cake is priced at 45,000 VND but can be shared among several people. The flan flavor can be customized to durian, green tea, or chocolate...
Patbingsu
Consider patbingsu as a 'lifesaver' for hot days in Saigon, thanks to its refreshing taste. Combining shaved ice with delicious and visually appealing fruits, patbingsu originates from Korea but has gradually gained popularity in Saigon. It comes in various flavors like green tea, passion fruit, strawberry... ensuring you won't get bored. The price for a serving of patbingsu ranges from 40,000 to 60,000 VND.
