Overview
In Vietnam, yogurt is not only the mass-produced thick white liquid food canned in cartons but also a versatile homemade dessert widely available at street stalls.
Each shop has its own unique yogurt-making recipe, allowing them to create special flavors that vary from sweet to slightly sour, and from soft and porous to frozen. From a simple glass of plain yogurt, people have developed various creative ways to transform it into entirely new delicacies: mixing it with shaved ice, violet glutinous rice, coffee, jelly, or fruit. Yogurt remains an immensely popular and beloved dish among young Hanoians, with many shops selling out their offerings within a single day.

White-Haired Old Man’s Yogurt
True to its name, the White-Haired Old Man’s Yogurt is celebrated for its diverse selection of “juice-yogurt”—yogurt made with milk and fresh fruit juice, as well as yogurt mixed with violet glutinous rice. Customers can choose from various delightful flavors including orange, peach, apple, lychee, coffee, and cacao.

Cocoa Yogurt
This charming little street stall is known for its uniquely delectable cocoa yogurt, where soft, solid yogurt is cut into small cubes and generously dusted with cocoa powder.

The sweet yogurt melting together with the bitter cocoa creates a delightful taste experience that lingers on your palate.
