One of my favorite Vietnamese Dessert Recipes is Worm Jelly/Cendol with Mung Bean Sweet Soup (Chè Bánh Lọt Đậu Xanh). Its combination is really simple but will create a spectacular in your mouth when eating. In hot days, even I am at home or hang out with friends; I usually cook or order this dessert for myself. It is really fresh and amazing. Have you ever thought that you guys can combine grinded mung bean, cendol, water chestnut in tapioca pearl, basil seeds, coconut milk, sugar syrup together before?
