Description
It's Industrial Revolution-hectic at Thach Chè Hiên Khánh, a Vietnamese dessert shop in Westminster. And it's partly hectic because of the space's prime nook just beyond the imperial gates of the T&K Food Market but primarily because of its reputation within the Vietnamese diaspora for its homeland's desserts, furtively sweet confections virtually unknown to the Western palate. Specifically, Thach Chè Hiên Khánh specializes in the alchemy of xôi (steamed sticky rice) and chè (sugary porridge). Combine the super-Slurpee chè ba màu with any chè or xôi, and you'll never need Snickers again. Don't bother asking for anything sugary here; all the sweets are a different type of sweets--some hearty, some earthy, all delicious.
