I find myself drawn to certain items when I'm out grocery shopping. Even with a list, I tend to pick up that things I crave like cha lua and gio thu (I always have bahn mi on the brain).
And of course pickled carrots and daikon.
Vietnamese baguette.
More baked goods. 
Summer rolls.
Tapioca desserts and steamed cakes.
I was actually on a mission today. I was looking for a special pan for something I want to cook.
I am getting closer to finding it.
I was surprised by the large selection at Vieng Dong Market.
Yay! I found the pan. Guess what it's for.
Here's a clue.
More to come. Just give me some time, Dallaslao! :)
