It’s that time of year again where we look at our favourite banh mi places in Adelaide. With the rise in popularity of Vietnamese street food, banh mi is readily accessible just about where ever you go. There are a few new entries in the top 25 this year with the overall quality improving.
How do we rate a good banh mi? We judge by the following:
- Do they use pate and egg mayonnaise?
- Is the roast pork too fatty? Is it well seasoned? Is the skin perfectly crunchy?
- Do they add fresh coriander, cucumber and fresh chilli?
- Are the pickled daikon and carrots sweet and tangy?
- Are they generous with the fillings?
- Is the bread roll fresh and crusty?
- Is it worth the price that you’re paying?
It is important to note that experiences may vary, and I can only go by what I had on the day.
