Hue and Da Nang Desserts: Experience the sweet and refreshing flavors with mr.hotsia

When talking aboutHue dessertsthe first thing mr.hotsia thinks of is the refreshing shaved ice topped with beans and various sweets as colorful accompaniments. I first tried it when traveling to Hue. The sweet and creamy shaved ice combined with the crunchy beans and chewy sweets became a very refreshing dessert on the chilly early-year days in Hue.

At that time, I was strolling through the old market and found a small shop selling authentic Hue desserts with flavors very different from elsewhere. Once I tasted it, I realized Hue desserts are not just sweets but a culture that the people of Hue deeply love and take pride in.
