Below is the list of 10 desserts dominating the menus at convention centers, wedding venues, and corporate galas today.

2. Snow Bird's Nest Soup with Red Dates & Lotus Seeds

Representing the "Nutritious & Premium" trend. This high-end dessert soup frequently appears in luxury wedding set menus priced from 5 - 8 million VND/table, showcasing the host's thoughtful care for their guests' well-being.

3. Japanese Cold Tofu with Passion Fruit Sauce

Delivers an ultimate cooling experience. The texture of Japanese silken tofu is incredibly soft and smooth, far surpassing traditional Vietnamese tofu. Topped with a sweet and sour fruit sauce, it stimulates the taste buds perfectly.

4. Tropical Fruit Panna Cotta (Passion Fruit, Mango, Strawberry)

Known as the "national" choice of the event industry. Panna Cotta heavily features in both traditional sit-down weddings and corporate standing parties (finger food) thanks to its elegant appearance and versatile topping options.

5. Almond Panna Cotta Dessert Soup (Chè Khúc Bạch)

Scores perfectly due to its refreshing and chewy nature. This dessert is incredibly easy to eat, usually served cold with fresh fruits like longan or lychee, bringing a refreshing feel on hot summer days.

6. Bite-size Mousse / Tiramisu

Compact, elegant, and flavorful. Bite-size cold cakes are the most popular choice for conference Teabreaks or displayed gorgeously on Dessert Bars at Western-style weddings.

7. Red Velvet Cake with Raspberries

The signature vibrant red color of Red Velvet symbolizes luck and fulfillment. Therefore, couples highly favor this cake as the perfect sweet ending for their wedding reception.

8. Mini Fresh Fruit Tarts

Always the "star" that catches every eye on corporate sweet tables. Mini Tarts are the perfect harmony of a crispy baked tart shell, light creamy custard, and colorful fresh fruit toppings.

9. Coconut Jelly / 3D Art Jelly

A traditional yet timeless choice in the Southern market. The biggest advantage lies in its excellent cooling properties and the ability to be molded into diverse 3D shapes to match any party theme.

10. Choux Craquelin (Crispy Cream Puffs) with Cold Filling

A spectacular upgrade from traditional cream puffs. With a crispy cracked crust outside and a cold, mildly sweet cream filling inside, this treat is particularly loved by Gen Z and office workers.
