Yesterday, CB and I went for a drive down Marangaroo Drive to this little takeaway shop, where those Bánh Mì Thịt came from. We pulled into this little shopping complex which effectively looked like a "Viet-town" (a rip off of Chinatown), as there was a Vietnamese grocer (they all seem to be Vietnamese around here, apart from Northbridge), 2 butchers and video store. There was even a Cantonese BBQ house, with roast meats hanging in the window. Eventually, we found the place we were looking for, and ordered 3 rolls: BBQ pork, chicken and sardines. They were still $4 each, but were made to order. I forgot to ask for less butter/margarine, but this time round they weren't so heavy.
I had the BBQ pork and shared the sardine version with CB. CB had the chicken one but let me have a bite to taste. They all had the same ingredients apart from the meats.
The BBQ pork version was tastier than the pork version I had yesterday, although there was less of it because the meat was chunk and thick, as opposed to thinly sliced. This meant that there wasn't even coverage of meat in the bun, so one bite was vegies and another bite was meat. I didn't get that many chillis in it either, but I'm afraid to ask for more next time, cos then they'll pack them right in!
The sardines for the sardine roll came from a tin, but were very tasty, although a little messy (as they put some of the tomato sauce in the roll aswell). Each bite had the savoury tomato-ey sardine flavour. Mmmmm.
The chicken one (not pictured) was packed with a lot of chicken, although the chicken was moist and well seasoned, it seemed like "ordinary" chicken meat filling. It tasted OK, but I prefer the pork or sardine versions. CB did mention that hers was packed with chillis and that her mouth was burning.
After eating one and a half rolls, I was quite full. The benefit of driving to Girrawheen? I guess they are made fresh, and a little more variety.
