Hue Ky Mi Gia, $3.00
Originally opened in Saigon in 1959, the Hue Ky Mi Gia noodle restaurant now has a massive menu and two Seattle-area locations--but only at a temporary stall at Seattle Center's Tet Festival does Hue Ky Mi Gia dish up these New Year's delicacies. Banh kep la dua is special waffle that gets its color and aroma from the leaves of the screwpine or pandan plant. Che ba mau is a drinkable dessert: iced coconut milk with brown sugar syrup, red beans, and chewy green noodles made from rice flour and--again--that addictive pandan extract.
