You can get some things at MT, but the selection is pretty limited, and doesn't seem too fresh. I'm looking for things along the lines of congee, sticky rice, pastries, pate, cha lua (sausage), bahn cuon (kind of like chowfun), jellyfish, fermented stuff, pickled veggies, etc. Any ideas?

For pastries, Tam Deli has some tasty vietnamese pastries. Also check out Baguette house in the Chinatown shopping center for really delicious bahn pate chaud. Tam Deli also has sticky rice in lotus/banana leaf. And may have bahn cuon. For jellyfish, I know Sunflower has a special salad (Goi) that is like their Goi Tom Thit (one of my favorite dishes there) but also with jellyfish. Sorry, but I am at a loss for fermented stuff, and pickled veggies.

I have not tried it, but I often hear good things about Sea Dragon. Thu Nov 05 13:57:55 -0800 2009 5158291 34145 verily
