Bánh hỏi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1nh_h%E1%BB%8Fi
It's a Vietnamese type of very thin vermicelli. What I specifically like about them is that they are so thin they can be "boiled" just in a few minutes of water boiled in an electric kettle, no need to actually cook them in a pan. Yes, I am lazy ha ha
Bánh hỏi is so good. I'm lucky they have them at the asian market near me.
Oh yes that is so delicious!
Mostly the variety, quality, and value of produce.
Other than that, this salty toothpaste (with fluoride):
Honestly I can't exactly think of any such thing.
I guess like... "Authentic" Chinese food? (whatever "authentic" even means lol). I mean... I think the common saying is that US Chinese Food are "Americanized" so its somehow not "authentic", but I don't exactly have much memories of it, so I can't say for sure as a first-hand account.
I think you moved to the US when you were very young so there probably isn't too much nostalgia yet.
