Ranked 21st with a rating of 4.1/5 stars, chè ba màu (three-colored dessert) was described by Taste Atlas as “a vibrant and colorful dessert from Vietnam.”

“This dessert harmoniously combines various sweet elements. It can be both eaten and drunk,” the site noted.

The ingredients of chè ba màu vary slightly depending on the region and the cook. The dish typically includes sticky rice, tapioca pearls, lotus seeds, mung beans, jelly, and coconut milk. Its name comes from the distinct layers of red, yellow, and green in the dessert.
