Market in Mekong Delta in the eye of a foodie!

As a promise from a previous post "Day trip to Western capital"
I'd love to share not feelings but some captures in this traditional market in Cần Thơ!

My parents house is very close, less than 5' minute walk, to Chợ Bàu Sen - a small market but probably
over 60 year old in Nguyễn Trải street. Right in the center of the busiest fashion street!
I grew up with this market!

I love to go there. Every market wherever I've been!
Bali, Phuket, Taipei...up to Tokyo or even Helsinki, down to Melbourne, Tasmania.
To feel lively atmosphere. To mingle myself with the colorful, smelly picture.
To see how people communicate with each others. Bargain. Shout. Laugh.
To find something new. And to buy a lot of never used stuffs!

Colorful edible flowers. 
From red agati (bông so đũa đỏ) to yellow pumpkin flower.
Representing speciality in many class restaurants in Sài gòn.


I wish to list down all names here, but the color, the shape blurred together and confused me.

Sticky rice - savory taste! (xôi mặn) - Part Two

Our tour with sticky rice dishes continues, this time - savory taste! To be honest I have no idea when savory sticky rice dishes have been created, but I remember when I was kid I did try two dishes: sticky rice with dry shrimp at my school (I can't remember - Chinese sausage was added at that time or not!) and another one - with char xiu (Chinese flavor barbecue pork - xá xíu)  and its special sauce.

Sticky rice with char xiu (mostly in China town)
