I also wish we would have ate at the Little Saigon restaurant in the mall - maybe next time. Instead we ate at Lee's Sandwiches, which was the busiest looking spot for locals with their newspapers and laptops. I stuck with a smoothie and egg rolls, but I did try butterflies (a sweet deep fried pastry) and some other pastry that was slightly sweet in a triangle shape (don't know the name). They were all good.
Most of our shopping consisted of looking for a jade ring for me (which I bought) and toys for V. I wanted a t-shirt for myself but couldn't find one that said Little Saigon. Oh well. I did also learn that Hello Kitty is extremely popular.
I enjoyed the experience and Case was a good sport. He said he didn't feel like he was in a foreign land though. I did note that I am very limited on my communication skills in Vietnamese. The mall had cool statues outfront but I will say that some areas the incense was very, very strong. If a person wants to try something different I would recommend checking it out if you have time. It is not a huge mall though, but did have lots of jewelry stores.
So that is our latest adventure. I am hoping to take V to Legoland soon, as she's never been, along with a trip to Disneyland and a place called Paradise Point (if it is still around).
