Those torta rolls soak up the juices from the pork really nicely, as well as any sauce you decide to use. Great idea.

The Torta sandwich rolls — also sold at Costco — make fabulous pulled pork sandwiches, especially toasted. I’ve always loved pork but I am a very late discoverer of pulled pork in all its smokey, meaty glory. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Sandwiches seemed like the natural next stop, and it was lovely in those. I also found that with a bit of coaxing in the Asian direction, it worked very well as addition to stir fry. I wondered if the prominent smoke flavor might get in the way, but it only added to the ginger and garlic, and in particular brought out some really nice notes in the sesame oil.

Interesting. In the wake of Oh Mai opening, I’ve not been out that far west in a while. That said, I remembered Thao Mi making all of my sandwiches to order rather than having some waiting and ready to go. I generally went in the late afternoon. Did you happen to go some other time?

I’m going to try to make it back at some point, and will definitely try the mint chocolate chip. Thanks for the heads up on the rest of their wares – they were doing brisk business, but I got the impression that, rather than being an established local favorite, they were still kind of figuring things out as they went along. So, it’s not surprising that between our experiences, the product varied in quality greatly.

Give the pork pate chaud a try sometime. I was pleasantly surprised…they weren’t too far off from the ones from my favorite places in SoCal. However, note that they do tend to sit around for a while at Thao Mi, and they are better when fresh.

If you do go back, I recommend the mint chocolate chip – the mint is unbelievably intense and fresh-tasting.

My kids and I tried this place after seeing it on Unique Eats, and with the exception of the mint and the salted caramel, we were a bit disappointed. The vanilla was okay, but the texture was a bit gritty (our homemade vanilla is much better), and the butternut was cloyingly sweet – it was fine for a bite, but was a bit tiresome after that. The s’mores pie, which looked so good on the show, was available only premade in the freezer. It was awful.
