17 Apr - Bánh Mì Thịt from Local Asian Grocer

These are really really good. I have been eying off these bread rolls from the local Asian grocer for awhile now, but have been putting it off because I knew they had coriander in it. But today, I bit the bullet and decided to try one.

This particular roll has pork belly, carrot, cucumber, coriander and pate. The carrot and cucumber were pickled and contrasted well against the fatty pork and what I presume was butter/margarine. Wikipedia says that Bánh Mì Thịt can also contain headcheese, but it wasn't listed on the packet. There was also some chilli which packed a bit of a punch and was thoroughly enjoyed. At $4, they are cheaper and tastier than Subway. The coriander wasn't overpowering which was good. The butter/margarine/possible headcheese was also oozing a bit, and if I was able to get one freshly made up, would request a little less.

Turns out these are made locally, Girrawheen in fact. On the packaging, it says they are open 7 days a week, 5AM - 4PM. Wonder if I can get them cheaper from Girrawheen instead?
