It Just Has To Be Delicious

Vung Tau, Girrawheen

This is just a short post to tell you about the best bahn mi. In my opinion Bahn Mi is the perfect Vietnamese/French fusion food, and an ideal amount for lunch. It’s a french baguette, with pate, and then meats which are sometimes marinated, some sauces – generally hoisin and nuoc mam based, and cucumber, chilli, pickled carrots and coriander.

I’ve tried a lot of bahn mi, but my favourite go-to is Vung Tau in Girrawheen. They only do a pork bahn mi – in two styles, either traditional or roast pork. The roast pork version has lovely chunks of crackling and melting roast pork, while the traditional roll is an assortment of sliced pork meats, all very tasty and slightly different. They just call it ‘Pork roll’, because that’s what they do, and they do it extremely well.

There are also choices of vietnamese drinks and desserts (there tends to be more at the weekend), but the pork roll is the star, and I am happy to drive to Newpark Shopping Centre every time I get a craving (which is pretty often).
