I stopped in a Vietnamese bakery for something I've been craving for several months: xôi la dua, a type of sweet rice cake.
Basically, its a layer of mung bean paste sandwiched 'tween two layers of sweet rice, sweeted with sugar and coconut milk, sprinkled with sesame.Hearty and filling for a snack item, they're damn good.
Chewey and semi-sticky, I thought I could handle it.
I wasn't disappointed.
It went down like a champ, and I am a happy dude.
I'll be going back tomorrow.
