Che Lien. The No.1 Sweet Soup for Me

Che Lien is a famous dessert in Da Nang. It started from a small local store to many branches throughout the nation. But what has made it so special? Let’s explore.

Durian Sweet Soup - The Star of the Menu

If you have heard of Che Lien, then it is likely you've heard of the Durian Sweet Soup (Chè sầu riêng). Chè sầu riêng is a combination of durian, jackfruit, coconut milk, and chewy jelly toppings in a bowl. It is rich, creamy, and not overly sweet.
👉 Tip: If you are not a fan of the strong aroma of durian, don't worry! You can ask the staff to order without it.

A Diverse Menu

Che Lien does not offer one signature dish. Their menu is good, to make sure everyone discovers something to fall in love with, such as:

Chè Khúc Bạch (almond pudding with fruit)
Tofu with pandan & durian syrup
Coconut jelly, pandan jelly, chocolate jelly
Thai-style sweet soup (with or without durian)
Coconut milk sweet soup (Chè dừa dầm)
Green bean sweet soup
Yogurt with cheese (Ya-ua phô mai)

This rich variety makes Che Lien not only a dessert shop but a sweet heaven for locals and travelers alike.
