You're going to hate me, b/c I can't remember the name. But I definitely know where it is: On the south side of Broadway between Stockton and Grant. Does anyone else know the name of this bakery? They make them every year. I've also seen similar porcine rolls at other large Chinese bakeries, but that one on Broadway had the prettiest pigs. They're often filled with sweetness, like lotus seed paste, and they last forever. I actually never got around the eating mine because it was just too cute. Happy hunting!

Basically, it's very much similar to the Chinese New Year, with our own little spin on things. Tet is the Vietnamese name for the lunar new year.
