love a good bahn mi. Place near me does a great one but has a tiny window if you want one for lunch delivered. pork belly, yes pate.
Best Bahn Mi I had was in Hoi An. Bout 50c Australian. Washed down with (plenty of) 20c pots of fresh beer.
Get the odd OK one in Australia, but in comparison they are panels behind what they serve up in Vietnam.
Bit like Guinness. What they serve up in Australia is nowhere near the quality they served up in Ireland.
Lucky enough that I'm only a stones throw from Springvale. Some very authentic Vietnamese bakeries. Before that my workshop was in the Foostcray Sunshine area, which also has a strong Vietnamese community.
The Sunshine bakeries were good (and damn talk about a production line they had going on), but not quite as good as the Springvale bakeries. One of the biggest problems, especially in Sunshine was that they were just so cheap. $3.50 a pop, so you'd always buy / eat too much. Never go shopping when you're hungry.
Tet on Tuesday. Wife and daughter landed in Ho Chi Minh yesterday. I fly out on Friday.
Bahn Mi is my favourite fast food. We often drive to My Street Food at Woolloongabba to get Bahn Mi. Much better than the Bahn Mi from Cafe O-Mai. But Inala market is the best in Brisbane.
But yeah, street food in Vietnam is much better.
Some excellent Bahn Mi in Brisbane North at Mr Bui in Nundah and Bahn Mi Factory at Zillmere. As good as anything I've had in Australia and as authentic as I've had in Vietnam but you can't buy the beer to go with it for less than a Dollar unfortunately

I have honestly never heard of Bahn Mi until now.
Yeah had a couple from a joint in Springvale when had to work at our office there for a few days, maybe 10-12 years ago now; and a couple from a joint in Footscray when visiting a mate in Yarraville. Both were pretty good.
$3.50 is cheap, how long ago? No idea how much they are in Springvale/Footascray now. There’s a place near me who makes OK ones, they are $8.50.
Do yourself a favour and go find it. Careful with the chili though unless that’s your thing.

I don’t mind Chilli.
Haven't had that workshop for over six years now. Hmm, now you mention it that still does sound too cheap. Maybe it was $4.50. I remember it was under a fiver per roll though, which was still pretty good. It was lunch a few times a week.

I don't mind it spicy as well.... (helps living in Singapore for 10 years).
Same, never complain about too much chili. Too much coriander on the other hand, that's a deal breaker. Nothing worse than a palm tree sized sprig of coriander in a banh mi. Less is more with coriander.
Sure this is getting off topic, but still better than talking about covid.

Atleast the coriander is easy enough to pull out.
Why cant we have some Vietnamese/thai street food, Lebanese pide/kebabs etc at the Gabba. Sick of chips and burgers. Heck give us some tex mex or something if you ate worried spice will frighten the usual crowd. I usually end up hitting the deli and bringing my own snacks to games now. You can buy like a kg of various meats and cheeses for the price of some burgers snd chips.

The quality and variety of food at the Gabba, along with the terrible service (mainly due to low staffing levels and closed outlets) makes going to the footy a less than satisfactory experience sometimes. Fortunately, we now park up the Mater Hospital end of Stanley St and there are some good places to eat along the walk to the ground. Burgers, BBQ, Curry, Korean etc. There's a real opportunity though for pre-packaged food that people can take into the Gabba.
So we've gone from never having heard of Banh Mi to being an expert now have we? Classic BigFooty.

Well I do know what coriander is and a palm tree sized sprig of Coriander (as you explained it) sounds to be pretty easy to remove imo.
I've had it with this board, 1st it was the Covid talk derail and now it's Banh Mi talk... come on people, this will just not do, back on to footy talk please.
By the way, I luv youse all and what is everyone's favourite Milkshake flavour.

I guess you can get away with a lot more when the title of the thread includes the word Random
And my favourite milkshake flavour is beer. I like it best without milk and ice cream though. Speaking of which, is it 4:00 yet?
