On our way out of the President Square Food Court at President Square in Arcadia, I couldn't help myself, but to pick up some black sesame crunchy candy from Vua Kho Bo. It's a very clean and organized shop. They primarily sell imported dried snacks and various teas. Their green tea is very good. They give free samples of their selective snacks and teas.
Lady staff was very pleasant and hospitable. Prior to my Mom and I visiting the shop, she came over to our table where we were eating and offered us a couple free samples. Thank you ma'am! Great marketing strategy... if customers don't come to you, you go to them and see if they'll bite. We bit! LOL
The black sesame crunchy candy was $11 per lb. Got one big scoop that cost $9.90. Not bad at all.
Anyway, there was one other dried snack item that I wanted, but they didn't have the red dates (jujube) in stock. Bummer! Not sure why they don't carry them here. Other Vau Kho Bo shops that I've visited have them. read more
