@ElainaA Rau ram is an herb - it is sometimes called Vietnamese coriander, although I don't think it tastes anything like coriander.  It is also known as laksa leaf in Singapore and is an important part of the Singapore curry dish with the same name.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persicaria_odorata

 

Kailan is chinese broccoli, but there are many variants of it, some more leafy, some more stemmy...  I don't think it tastes anything like western broccoli.

@KennethT Thanks - As a cook/gardener I need to know more about these plants.........
