New Orient

Went here again yesterday and spoke with the owner a bit more and got more prepared foods. Amazing. Owner is of Lao heritage, so that makes me even MORE excited since it’s my favorite cuisine. A lot of «Thai» food is actually northern thai/​Laoatian. I was so excited to see items like sakoo sai moo (tapioca balls with sweet pork filling), which due to it’s unavailability in restaurants I’ve painstakingly prepped at home and it’s a PAIN, but now I can buy even better ones done right at New Orient! Also had awesome sweet sticky rice with taro wrapped in banana leaf and a decent price on coconut milk. Unfortunately they were out of jerky, which if you like beef jerky that’s sweet, this is the place to get it (as it was sold out, I imagine I’m not the only one who finds it delish!). They also have a good variety of fresh asian veggies at more reasonable prices than some of the other stores up the road.
I wish more people would shop here! This place is awesome!
