Che Ba Chay

Ms. Quyen's che stall goes by the name "Ba Chay"

The stall stands in Block D of the Binh Tien housing estate, inside Binh Tien market in District 6. The name "Ba Chay", Vietnamese slang for terrific, is both easy to call out and a way of speaking about the quality of the twelve homemade che. The colours of the dough strands all come from natural ingredients: magenta leaf for purple, pandan leaf for green, gac fruit for orange-red. Two items rarely found elsewhere are che banh canh and che banh xep. Before eating you can add a pinch of salt to the che so that the sweetness turns deeper and richer.
