It coincides with their nap time.

Great pictures. Brings back memories of my visits to Vietnam. Seems like you ate a lot of pho while you were there! I was a slave for banh mi made from baguettes straight out the oven. No meals of Nem Nuong in Nha Trang or Mi Quang in Da Nang? If I remember correctly, those dishes are known in that region?

I'd passed on their tea using a communal cup and opt for a soda served in a plastic bag and straw from a nearby vendor.

There was one to go place for me to get banh mi. I'm not sure if it's the best banh mi ever but it's the best I've ever had(I've had my fair share of banh mi). I'll take it against any in a sandwich completion. It's that good. Not sure how many I ate. I stopped counting after 15. Only 40 cents each.










Keeping the bread toasty the old fashioned way.







The difference maker...mince meatball sauce + 2 other unknown sauces




Finished product, the perfect balance of sweet, salty, spicy.

Mi Quang


Ask an you shall receive.

This is Mi Quang at a market in HCMC. Sorry this pic is not too good. But as you see, the noodles are flat, thick, yellow. It has a bunch of items... pork, quail egg, shrimp, crispy rice paper. Not too much broth like pho...maybe half a ladle's. Sauce is pork based sweet and thick.




This is Hoi An's version. They use white noodles, but I like this one better.



HCMC Mi Quang was $1.30, Hoi An's was a little bit cheaper.
