I have gone far too long without professing my love of Viet Hoa Food Market here on MemphisConnect. Located on Cleveland in midtown, both products and patrons highlight some of our community’s global diversity. Some of the market’s unique offerings include dragon fruit, mung bean ice bars, spiced coconut vinegar and eels. One of my [...]
