Shopping for Thai Ingredients

Key Limes

The bakery

Many Asian stores have a fresh bakery attached where you can buy a quick snack or desserts/snacks to take home. Take a minute to stop by and have a look around—the smell (and taste) of these baked goods will keep you coming back for more.

Note: usually these baked goods are Chinese in nature, although occasionally you may be able to find a Thai-inspired dessert. Look for cakes or desserts with sticky rice and coconut as key ingredients, and you’ll be on the right track.
