Saigon Market

I used to live a few short blocks away & would buy the freshest ingredients for Vietnamese & other Asian cooking. Now, it's a car trip but I still go there. Huge fresh blocks of tofu that are in buckets of water. The turn-around time on everything is rapid, so I never worry about things sitting on the shelves too long. There are a lot of common items & extremely "exotic" items for most westerners which keeps the place interesting to me or to anyone else that's adventurous & wants to try something new. It is loud & busy in there. A medium sized market. Amazingly inexpensive. I've never been to Asia, so it reminds me a lot of NYC. Can you tell I'm impressed?

The moment I walked into Saigon Market I was greeted by a very friendly staff who were eager to assist me with gathering ingredients to make a Pho soup and took the time to give me some tips too. Can't wait to slurp this soup!
