Many believe that the Cantonese dessert known as “tong sui” is the predecessor of the three-color sweet soup. It is often referred to as a rainbow dessert due to its three distinct layers: yellow (mung beans), red (red beans), and green (pandan jelly).

In addition to the three-color sweet soup, Taste Atlas also suggests other Vietnamese desserts such as corn pudding, bà Ba sweet soup, and black bean sweet soup.
