bite sized: grilled pork banh mi @ Banh Mi Bay

This was my lunch last Friday. Verdict? It’s ok, not the best banh mi I’ve had, but it does well to satiate a weekday craving.

The avocado smoothie was scrumptious though!

Cafe VN: I've found my squidgy-noodle-love!

We had dinner at Café VN tonight. That’s two visits in three days so I thought I’d better show some RES.PECT. and blog about them. What can I say? I’ve fallen head over heels in love, in love with the…

you can let go of traditions but don’t touch the pork floss: bánh mì at Viet Baguette

banh mi with bbq pork, pate and pork floss

I’m pretty sure I have a caveat somewhere in this blog about my utter lack of food knowledge, in particular the anthropology of food. I don’t really think about where food comes from, or its original purpose, or what it is “meant to” taste like. Rather, I consult my very [un]refined tastebuds and if they all nod in unison, then we are in agreement that something tastes good.

Sometimes they get me in trouble for loving all the wrong things. But mostly, we get along just fine, enjoying culinary delights that make me, my buds and my tummy deliriously happy.

Anyway, last week I joined the queues at new take-out joint Viet Baguette on Charlotte Place in London’s West End and ordered me a bánh mì, a Vietnamese style baguette filled with such deliciousness as slices of roast pork, pate, pork floss, shallots and a chilli-mayo sauce.

Oh, pork floss.. {heart}
