Giò Chả Đức Hương – sausage and so much more
Given how often my family comes here, I feel obliged to give this store a proper post. About every other week or so, my parents make the hour-long drive to get a loaf or two of cha lua (silk sausage) and maybe a few Vietnamese between-a-snack-and-a-meal goodies. The affable owner lady knows our usual grabs, and we know her trustworthy provision. Whether it’s wrapped in banana leaves, aluminum foil, or cling wrap, Giò Chả Đức Hương has the best of its kind in Bellaire.
The shelves of nem (fermented pounded pork sausage), bánh tét (sticky rice log), and bánh ít (sticky rice pyramid). These small bánh tét are sold all year round, they are only about 4 inches long, usually with vegan filling (mung bean paste or banana). They make an appropriate snack for a teenager, but usually a little too much for me. Unwrapped below, left-right-down: bánh giò – bánh ít – bánh tét:
Bánh giò always reside on the front counter, next to loads of chả (sausages). There are chả chiên (fried), chả lụa (lean pork), chả Huế (spicy), chả bò (beef), chả gà nấm hương (chicken and shiitake), and boxes of chà bông (also known as ruốc in the North, pork floss in English, and similar to rousong in Chinese).
A few more pictures of bánh tét just to do partial justice of how many kinds they have there:
Black bean mixed with sticky rice, disrupting the usual smooth glutinous texture by nutty bites.
Sticky rice mixed with pandan leaf extract for flavor and color. A sweet touch.
Plain white sticky rice, usual fatty pork and mung bean paste filling. The classic.

This sausage store sets their price a knuckle higher than the Asian markets, but the care, the freshness, and the family touch are unbeatable.

9Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
10Most of the things you state is astonishingly precise and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this with this light before. This piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this issue goes. But there is 1 issue I am not too comfy with and whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual main idea of your issue, let me see just what all the rest of your visitors have to say.Nicely done.
