The che seller in downtown Saigon (Vietnam)

The Chinese style dessert seller at 31 Nguyen Thai Binh, mixing up a Che - Vietnamesedessert - is a joy to watch. Don’t know how to speak Vietnamese? No worries, just point at the ingredients. The Che seller will make sure that whatever you choose will refresh you. A good resting place after that late evening walk, the communal seating around the cart encourages new friendships.
