My Delicious Banh Mi Breakfast


I was in Vietnam a few months back and I felt in love with this particular bread delicacy known as the Banh Mi (looks like subway sandwich). It’s actually Vietnam French Baggett, slice open in the middle, spread with butter and stuff with eggs, cheese, vegetables. Sounds plain..? (trust me when see the old lady doing it, I also felt its plain and judge that it won’t be nice…but HAH..!! the secret to taste of this delight is the sos the use. After everything is being stuff inside, the lady will spread the sos called ‘huong viet Hao Vi’ and ‘Tuong Ot’ chilli sauce. (when I saw the lady spreading this sauce, I am like thinking..’Wah lau eh.. damn salty’ ..!). I was skeptical when I had my 1st bite of the sandwich, but once I taste it, I felt in love with it immediately.. It’s so delicious and tasty.. (I guess like the famous saying ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’). Ever since that, I ate that sandwich 2 times a day throughout my 7 days stay there.. I called it the ‘Vietnam Street Subway

It’s sold all over the street in Vietnam just like our local Ramlee burger for a price of 15,000 Vietnam Dong (RM 2.30)..cheap rite…!!
Before my last day, I went on scouting for the sauce and I bought it back to KL so that I can savor it whenever I want too..

This morning, I decided to make my own Banh Mi using Massimo Wheat Bread..here is how I do it..
Slice the timun and tomato (get ready fried egg, 2 slice of bread, a slice of cheddar cheese)
Place the cheddar cheese, slice timun and tomato on top of one another. Place the fried egg.
Lastly spread the ‘huong viet Hao Vi’ and ‘Tuong Ot’ chilli sauce on top. Cover with the other slice of bread and bon appétit!
