About Saigon Desserts

Late-night sweet cravings in West Footscray inevitably lead straight to Barkly Street for traditional Vietnamese chè. Tables fill quickly after hours with groups lingering over chilled bowls—especially the Thai sweet loaded with durian, lychee, and almond jelly, or the Saigon special packed with coconut and assorted jellies. It never tips into sugar overload; the coconut milk base stays balanced, fragrant, and refreshing. Savoury street snacks balance out the sweets, from seasoned rice paper salads to sticky rice topped with meat floss.

  • Late-Night Hangout: Doors stay open late into the evening on Barkly Street, drawing casual crowds after regular dinner hours.
  • Vietnamese Sweet Soups: A wide menu of traditional chè, flan specials, and sweet soups built around rich coconut milk bases.
  • Savoury Street Bites: Street-style rice paper salad and savoury sticky rice combinations round out the sweet options.
