1. At Huong Lan Sandwich #4, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence late afternoon. A little girl, clutching her lunchbox, would suddenly stop and point towards the bakery’s window. Every time she did, the display of freshly baked pastries seemed to shift ever so slightly, as if someone were rearranging them from inside. One day, a delivery driver noticed the girl and decided to investigate. He saw nothing unusual until he glanced into the shop just in time to catch the baker rearranging the pastries with his nose pressed against the glass—oblivious to everything around him. The whole town shook its head and smiled, knowing that behind every quirky sight lay a heartwarming story.
2. At Huong Lan Sandwich #4, early mornings were never boring. Just as the first rays of sunrise touched the windows, a mysterious van would pull up outside, its engine purring like a contented cat. The door opened, and out stepped a shadowy figure who swiftly disappeared into the bakery without saying a word. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the same shadowy figure emerged with a big smile, carrying a steaming tray of freshly baked pastries. ‘Morning,’ they whispered softly, tipping their hat to no one in particular before disappearing again. And every day since then, locals would joke that Huong Lan’s secret recipe was actually delivered by a polite ghost.

It became such a hit that whenever someone ordered number four, they’d whisper, ‘Cross your fingers—it might float again!’
