Banh Mi! Banh Mi! :D

Another of my favorite Vietnamese food, Banh Mi. :) Just gotta have it before leaving Ho Chi Minh.

Banh Mi Huynh Hoa is famous for their Banh Mi. :) The pate and the bread is just so delicious! :D It's something I can eat everyday for breakfast or tea.

Freshly toasted French loaves... :)

Lunching by the Roadside at Lunch Lady

Our driver was apprehensive with his "are you sure???" NothingWe want to try out this roadside stall nonetheless. :)

There is something unique about eating at roadside stalls in Vietnam. The tables and chairs/stools are tiny! I find it really cute to gather around a small table and have a feast. :) It's like a picnic, yet not quite.

The Lunch Lady is nestled within a quiet neighbourhood. :)

The Lunch Lady serves noodle soup. The menu changes everyday, creating a sense of surprise for customers I guess. :)

Spring rolls

Rare sight of Lin eating by the roadside :) 

Barbecue pork noodles

Haven't eaten yellow noodles for the longest time

I'm so deprived....the noodles were awesome. :)
