Saigon Taipei Market

I'm one of those people who enjoys true Oriental foods, not that Americanized rubbish you get from a drive through window. So my view is on that basis. This was my first visit, but I was happy to see the store front was modern and clear of trash in the parking lot. The store was well lite, so finding the items I might like would be easy. I was greeted by a young man that was returning the carts welcoming me to the store and he hoped a had a pleasant shop. I'm positive right there. the isles were well stocked with many items I had not heard of before. The meat counter was a real treat for me. Glass counters with a large variety of anything I could possibly want that is prepared on site. The live fish selection was surprising. I elected to indulge in the fresh produce Isle that was just that. Fresh, It must come from local, because the freshness looked like it came off the farm with in hours. I just don't see that life from produce in other stores. I noticed they had a bulk rice display, and that was where I was sold. There must have been 30 different varieties, some of which I have never tried, but I certainly intend too. The check out was smooth and efficient. The woman that helped me spoke prefect English and was quite polite, so that made it real easy on me. I really enjoyed it, as it was like a throw back to when I went shopping with Mom back in the '60's. I din't have the time on this trip to stay as long as I wanted. I will defiantly be returning for some new discoveries on my next trip.
