A no-frills bowl of bean curd is one of the cheapest natural fat-burning Vietnamese desserts you can find. Silky soft and natural-looking, bean curd is one of our best-selling local snacks considering how its exhilarating taste can beat the heat of Saigon and refresh all your senses.<\/p>\n

Basically a condensed version of soybean milk, bean curd is served simply with syrup on top – though you can choose to go without syrup and toppings to be even healthier.<\/p>\n

Tofu, the main ingredient of this dessert, contains all nine essential amino acids that can keep you feeling full for longer, and accordingly keep your weight in check. It also has beneficial compounds that reduce the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, as well as cancer. Plus, eating bean curd regularly also helps lower bad cholesterol.<\/p>\n
