Xoa xoa pomegranate seed sweet soup at Bac My An market – a cheap cooling drink that's addictive

On a sunny afternoon in Da Nang, having a glass of pomegranate seed tea smoothie at the food area of Bac My An Market (Ngu Hanh Son) is absolutely perfect – it's refreshingly cool, sweetly fragrant, and the price is incredibly affordable.

A full cup includes: cool grass jelly (xoa xoa), chewy and crunchy tapioca pearls (handmade so they're naturally crunchy), plus rich creamy mung beans, a bit of jelly, then topped with rich coconut milk and finely shaved ice. Mix well, and one spoonful is enough to give you that crispy – chewy – rich – refreshing taste, so good you'll never get tired of it. The stalls in the market sell it the traditional way, with generous, full cups at super soft prices (around 10,000–25,000đ depending on the toppings). If you want it a bit "fancier," you can add fruit, ice cream, yogurt... It's busiest around midday to afternoon, as there are both students and tourists, so sometimes you may need to wait a bit. If you're in Da Nang and stop by Ngu Hanh Son, when it's hot and you're craving something refreshing, drop by the food area at Bac My An Market for a drink 😋 📍 Bac My An Market Food Area – Nguyen Ba Lan, Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang⏰ ~6am–7pm · 💵 ~10,000–25,000₫/cup
