Asia Times Square 2
By Tinah | October 11, 2008
Ok so these pictures aren’t exactly too clear because they were yet again taken from my phone! I couldn’t find the adapter to put the memory card in my digi cam and apparently I didn’t have my digi cam’s mem card in it lol but this is the front of Asia Time’s Square “Hong Kong” in the day time. As you can see the other little side stores beside it. Now lets take a tour of whats inside Asia Time’s square or Hong Kong!
This is where we went for dinner today. Well we did to go lol and took it home, but 10 lbs of crawfish! Extra Extra Spicy. 10 lbs doesn’t sound like a lot but we were getting full pretty fast. There were 6 of us eating lol. Rawr I love how they make that very spicy sauce like exactly how I like it. I believe 10 lbs is like 54 bucks. If you want it extra spicy you’ll have to let her know, but of course knowing my lao blood nothing is ever to spicy for me!
This is a place next door where i use to eat often, I don’t know what the deal is now. I think they only open at certain times -.-” I notice I would see people if I go before 2 but isn’t that the usual time sushi restaurants close after lunch and reopen like at 6?
Another great place! Taste or Korea! I love love this place. Their Korean food is not bad actually. I don’t have a particular favorite lol because I always just order something different and anything that looks yummy on the menu that particular day.
This is a store next door somewhat to taste of korea. It’s a Decor 1. It has plenty of home decorations and of course decorations for Asian homes -.-”
This photo isn’t exactly to clear but this is across from Decor somewhat or around the corner theres a Deli. The Deli makes the food for the restaurant next door Bistro B’s such as those viet hoagies or Banh Mi as many people call it. I’m quite unsure because I think Banh Mi just means bread lol but -.-” You guys know which Viet Sandwhiches I’m talking about. I think they also make Spring Rolls! Gotta Love Spring Rolls!
Gosh! I love this place. It’s wonderful for Vietnamese food. They also have a Thai hot pot. The hot pots are great size for a great price. They even have a menu for family dinners. A menu that could feed up to 9 family members or more I believe. My personal favorite are their spring rolls which they get from the deli next door lol. The spring roll is awesome. I love love thier broken rice dishes also. Their Durian Boba Tea! Must have of course if you could take Durian!
This is a tailoring shop on the other side. Of course they tailor and do alterations to special event Asian style dresses
They call this place Khoblo candy store. It’s a store that has those oldie snacks lol. Like urmmm pickled mango’s pickled other fruits actually. It’s those different type of candy’s that your parents use to buy you when you were little lol.
Their Video store =/ blurried pic NO!~
oO I’m sure this stuff look familiar to lots of Asian. Its our bakery foods! Such as cooked pork rolls. Sweets and Etc
This is actually a part of Bistro B’s the part that makes their tea’s ice cream, and of course other types of small foods like spring rolls and pork rice rolls and so forth
Some food from the Bakery ^__^
A barbie cake! So pretty! LOL
Pork spring rolls! As corrected by one of my readers hehe thank you! Yes Salmon! I love the shrimp ones but they didn’t have it at that particular moment. It’s a Bistro B’s creation lol. I love love it especially the crunch that it has.
Banh Bao! Who doesn’t love steam buns?! I sure doo! These consist of BBQ Pork Steam bun, Chicken Steam Bun, Of Course A full steam bun which has Quail eggs, and A slice of Chinese Sausage and the usual ground pork insides. And there are some rice cakes here also.
Mo chi! Gotta love this stuff Mo chi by definition is
Mochi (Japanese: 餅; Chinese: 麻糬) is a Japanese and Chinese rice cake made of glutinous rice pounded into paste and molded into shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki. While also eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year and is commonly sold and eaten during that time.
Mochi is similar to the Chinese rice cake nian gao; however, mochi is shaped from cooked glutinous rice right after it is pounded, whereas nian gao is steamed directly to its final form from a batter made of uncooked glutinous rice flour. In the Philippines, it is called palitao in Tagalog and is coated with sesame seeds and grated coconut.
Credit to Wikipedia Link & this was some good stuff! They also have mo chi ice cream of course!
Last but not least finish off our tour with some refreshing Boba Tea! A Thai Tea for Jennifer and One for Lisa and a Durian Tea with Grass Jelly For Tinah Please!
Lol ^__^

Tina,
Thanks for sharing information about Asia Times Square. I’m going to move to Arlington next month. It would be great if you can provide me the address of that plaza.
Thanks much,

Mmmm, I love Asia Times Square.
I’m Vietnamese by the way, and I live in Arlington as well, in the north that is. As of right now, Saigon Taipei is not in the same location anymore, it has been moved
to a newer location right down the street for the past
two months! As for Viet Tofu, my uncle owns that place
By the way, that “salmon spring roll” isn’t
salmon actually. It’s pork, and it is quite delicious.
The crunch and sauce together are both a
perfect combination and they are simply divine.
Also, the Bento Box is now closed, sadly.
P.S All those venues and stores except for Taste of Korea are all Vietnamese owned! YEAHHHH!
