Snacks at Hmong Village

Minnesota may be the home of many lakes, zubaz pants, hipsters (if you believe them), and hot dishes, but Minnesota also has one of the largest Hmong population in the United States.

In the Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota, there is a taste of Southeast Asia tucked inside a shopping area known as Hmong Village.
