About this audio guide
Chè Hẻm is a decades-old alley dessert stall in Hue known for its huge menu of che, Vietnamese sweet soups, and the elderly woman who has run it for more than thirty years. The guide traces the shop's economics, from a bowl once sold for a few thousand dong to today's price, and how a hidden alley stall built a nightly following strong enough to sell out before closing. Listen for what its pricing history reveals about who really profits from Hue's street food. Go in the evening if you want more than one flavor before the trays run dry.
