And of course, among the series of delicious dishes here, Vietnamtravelio cannot ignore the famous Ong Lac Hue sweet soup in this country.
Every time Hue sweet soup is mentioned, everyone falls in love with its unmistakable flavor. From luxurious to popular sweet soups, all are prepared in a rich, flavorful, “Hue standard” style that makes diners almost crave it forever.
When talking about Ong Lac Hue Che Shop, it seems like it’s just a local sweet soup shop with classic sweet soups available almost everywhere. But no, the shop also has many other interesting things that you may not know. That is also the highlight that creates the recent “hot wave” that makes visitors to Hue curious to try it. Let’s explore with Vietnamtravelio now.

2Revealing some interesting things about Hue Ong Lac Tea
For a small-scale tea shop, more than 20 years is indeed a long time and there will certainly be many memorable things during its operation from the first days of opening until now. According to Vietnamtravelio, since 1982 the shop has been in operation under the “guidance” of a Quang Nam woman who followed her husband to Hue to start a business.
Like Linh Lan Che Shop and many other shops, Lac Ong Hue Che Shop is also a dining venue to serve tourists and earn a living for the whole family. Although it is only modestly located on a small winding road in the middle of the ancient capital, the restaurant is known to many people. To do that is certainly not easy, but the unique flavors prepared by skillful hands at Ong Lac sweet soup shop have really brought unexpected results.

Maybe you don’t know, even though the shop has been operating for more than 20 years, it still doesn’t have a sign. In the past, the shop was located near Ong Thuong bridge, so people gave it the name “Ong Thuong Tea”.
As time goes by, the tea is still delicious but the price has never “cheated” tourists. With only a price of 5,000 – 11,000 VND/cup and great taste, Ong Lac Hue tea has brought diners unforgettable experiences, especially students who come here in large numbers.
Ong Lac tea Hue has three main types of tea, which are: corn sweet soup, bean sweet soup and fruit sweet soup. Each type of tea has its own unique flavors that you should not miss.
The first difference that must be mentioned is bean soup. It must be said that this dish is of extremely high quality, it is not like the beans, green beans or royal beans that people often eat. Bean soup here is imported from 3 main types of beans in Da Nang: red kidney beans, red beans and soybeans.

The bean sweet soup dish is also one of the “best selling” sweet soup dishes on the menu, making the reputation of Ong Lac Hue Che shop up to now. The dessert is uniquely prepared with a mixture of soybeans and red beans cooked thickly and blended together. The most delicious thing about this dessert is the juice that comes with it.
Until now, sometimes people still debate whether it is coconut milk or soy milk. Eating delicious food without knowing what it is seems really frustrating, right? Not stopping there, the aromatic and fatty taste of coconut milk blends well with the nutty taste of beans, making this dessert even more delicious. For only 8,000 VND/glass, if you want to “forget the way home”, there’s nothing better than it.

The second unique thing to mention here is the fruit tea here. It sounds familiar but coming to Ong Lac Che is a very new experience. Unlike other sweet soup shops, the fruits here are cut into bite-sized pieces and then put into cups, about a dozen types of fruit. Mango, custard apple, avocado, longan, jackfruit,… with many different colors look very attractive.
When mentioning Ong Lac Hue Che, you may immediately think that it is a place where you can find old memories. Do you know why Vietnamtravelio said that? Simply because the feeling of space and the flavor in the cup of tea that the shop brings you, it contains the “color of memories”. With so many years of association with many generations, Che Ong Lac Hue possesses a wonderful space of memories, where you have laughed a lot with your friends and shared unforgettable stories.
At night, instead of wandering around the bustling streets, try spending time going to Che Ong Lac Hue to find equally interesting feelings.
Although not located on the main road, the shop is always bustling with laughter from customers who are not afraid to take the trouble to explore the small alley just to get to the shop to experience that feeling. Holding a cup of tea in your hand, sitting in the middle of the house in a small alley is truly a memorable and nostalgic moment. So many memories of when I was a child playing with my grandparents, parents, and siblings kept coming back to mind.
